Raw look, warm sound

The cymbals in Zultan's Raw series are characterised by their raw, earthy look. The surfaces of the cymbals reveal the natural colour of the B20 bronze: The absence of a clean, polished finish is a very deliberate design decision here. All the Raw cymbals have a dark, dry response that melds perfectly with the rest of the kit – and the band – so they're perfect whenever musicians want warm, unobtrusive cymbal sounds. The cymbals are made in Turkey, the country in which the art of cymbal making is most highly developed and where cymbal smiths who have spent their lives perfecting their craft use traditional methods to create high-quality, beautifully musical instruments.

In tune with the music

Each cymbal in the Zultan Raw series is made from 80% copper and 20% tin – the premium B20 bronze alloy used for really high-end cymbals. Each piece is hand hammered, making every cymbal unique: Great care is taken during final tuning to ensure that the specified tonal tolerances are met. Not lathing the cymbals results, on the one hand, in their appealingly unusual look, on the other hand in a compact, slightly treble-reduced sound with a relatively short sustain. Thanks to these special acoustic characteristics, there is no risk that the cymbals of the Raw series will ever dominate the track they're played on. The lightweight 10" Splash has an incredibly fast response, without sounding as light and bright as many of its splashy kin.

From Jazz to Electro and back again

Drummers from the genres of Pop, Fusion, Funk, and Jazz need dynamic cymbals with a fast response that are capable of blending homogeneously into different settings. The 10“ Splash from the Raw series is perfect for the task: It can be played with sticks, rods, or brushes, indeed it's so lightweight that its sound can be enjoyed to the full even when it's just played with fingertips. It's this characteristic in particular that makes it ideal for unplugged sessions or for use with a cajón or in a more varied percussion setup. Fans of hybrid drumming, in which acoustic and electronic sounds are on an equal footing, often prefer cymbals with dry sound characteristics – one of the key features of the Raw series. As such, the 10" Raw Splash is sure to perform here as well.

About Zultan

To provide traditional craftsmanship at a fair price has been the guiding principle of Zultan ever since it was founded in 2000. The firm’s practice of selling directly to the end customer makes it possible to offer very customer-friendly prices. Nevertheless, the production process for Zultan’s trademark cymbals, which are made mainly in Turkey, is of the highest quality, a fact which has ensured they have also been a fixture in the Thomann range since 2011. The nearly 250 Zultan products cover several cymbal series, catering for all sectors of the music market. Zultan also offers accessories such as bags and drumsticks. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and manufacturing expertise, Zultan really does offer uncompromising quality at a reasonable price.

Mics love it Raw

The 10" Zultan Raw Splash is perfect for adding choice accents to a tight groove, something drummers like Stewart Copeland or Gavin Harrison are famous for. Otherwise, it can be used immensely flexibly and has virtually no musical limitations, although it's probably not best suited to the very loudest styles. But thanks to this moderate volume and its balanced frequency spectrum, the Raw Splash is actually a perfect studio cymbal, where it's best for a balanced mix if the drum mics pick up the cymbals as little as possible. Equally, even in locations with difficult acoustics, for example in halls with very high ceilings or in cold, boxy rehearsal rooms, the 10" Splash, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

Very good price for a very decent splash cymbal

Ruud_NL 25.06.2020

I was looking for an additional 10" Splash to go with my K ZIldjian 8" Splash. As i use splashes mostly for sparse, fast accents and am not too critical about the sound of a splash (ride, crashes and HiHat cymbals are way more important to me), I though I'd check one of these out. They look great and bring a nice visual contrast to my regular cymbals. And the sound is much better than I had expected from its price. It's a nice fast splash, with a hint of trash that doesn't get in the way and doesn't dominate the sound. It's a great addition, it looks and sounds great and is very afforfable. Nice one!

Reasonable quality

Semo1 21.04.2025

Mine arrived looking like it had been played before. Whether or not it has I don’t know. The mounting hole was not perfectly symmetrical but it seems to sound like the demos I’ve heard online. Pretty good sound for the money though

Dreckig und explosiv

Jan H 06.07.2021

Ich habe ein Splash gesucht, was etwas trashy ist, ohne dabei unmusikalisch für „konservertivere“ Anwendungen zu sein (in meinem Fall Musicals und Tanzmusik)

Das Zultan RAW Splash hat für mich da den perfekten Kompromiss getroffen. Dreckig genug für richtig abgefahrene Sachen, zurückhaltend genug, dass nicht alle Orchestermitglieder die Augen verdrehen.

Die Ansprache ist gut, könnte nur mit Besen etwas besser sein. Die Optik ist überragend, und für den kleinen Aufbau lässt es sich auch super über einem 19“ Caz Ride befestigen.

Schönes Splash zum super Preis

TheJesterDrum 19.12.2017

Ich bin mit dem Splash vollkommen zufrieden. Ich hatte bisher bereits ein 8" Zildjian, welches vom Sound höher, aggresiver und langsamer abklingt.
Das Zultan Raw Splash ist die perfekte Erweiterung dazu, da es im Songkontext super eingebaut werden kann. Dunkler, erdiger Sound - schnelle Ansprache und kurze Ausklingzeit sind genau das, was ich gesucht habe.
Preislich kann man auch nichts sagen, weswegen ich rundum zufrieden bin.
