I for one have been unhappy with my Zenbal- found triggering to be 
unreliable and the sweet spot would rotate away from me. Then I added an 
Aquarian Cymbal Spring. The cymbal  does a better job of staying put and 
it triggers much more reliably both in the center and edge. It still 
doesn't trigger as reliably as the Yamaha cymbals- but you know- I've 
had 2 of them fail so far. I expect perfection in all things (myself 
excluded) and am consequently disapointed in everything. Support group 
schedules will be be posted shortly. I expect to be disappointed in the 
level of participation.
