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.

Zultan 18" Raw Crash Cymbal

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 18" Crash has a very sensitive response and produces a compact, harmonious sound.

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 18“ Crash from the Raw series is perfect for the task: It can be played very differently with sticks, rods, or brushes, and is thus also suitable as a lightweight ride, esepcially for unplugged sessions. 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 18" Raw Crash 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 18" Zultan Raw Crash can be used 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 Crash 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 18" Crash, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

Ich habe mir das Becken zugelegt um eine Lücke im Satz zu schliesen.
meine Vorstellungen:
-Dunkler Ton
-schnell ansprechend,
-sowohl zum durchcrashen
-als auch mal als Ride zu gebrauchen.

Das erfüllt das Zultan Raw ganz gut:
-Dunkel ohne so Staubtrocken zu sein, wie zb. die Byzance etxra Dry, aber auch nicht so verwachen wie die Byzanze Dark
-Das beckenen spricht auch leise sehr gut und schnell an, lässt aber einen großen Dynamikspielraum zu. Vor allem mit Mallets kommt ein Grinsen in mein Gesicht.
- zum durchcraschen ists leider nicht ganz so geeignet, da es ab einer gewissen Lautstärke stagniert und man nur noch eine Wand aus Schall bekommt, die nicht mehr so differenziert ist. (das war beim 17"er aber besser)
- als Ride kann mans dafür aber auch mal benutzen, da es nicht zu sehr verrauscht, und die Glocke einen Schön höhen ton erzeugt.

Alles in allem bin ich bis jetzt sehr zufrieden mit dem Crash.

Verarbeitungstechnisch kann ich nur sagen, dass das Loch wirklich mittig ist und es gerade, ohne schieflage auf dem Ständer hängt. Haltbarkeit wird sich zeigen, aber ich habe noch kein Becken auf dem Gewissen, und es ist relativ dick, also habe ich da keine Bedenken.

Excellente !!

voilà mon avis sur la cymbale...
Je fait beaucoup de jazz et de funk et franchement, j'adore...
Je touché est très subtile et et la qualité de son est identique à l'échantillon donné par Thomann. Pour la funk : en crash elle est très bien et en ride aussi. Cependant, pour le jazz, le son est pas assez aiguë à mon gout. Mais dans l'ensemble, elle est très polyvalente.

ME ENCANTA

Estaba buscando un plato oscuro y no demasiado duro para grabaciones y es ideal. A las pocas semanas me compré el mismo modelo en 16" y el HH de 15", y estoy encantado con todos ellos.
Sonido oscuro y profundo.

buena relación calidad-precio
Anonymous 18.08.2016
Estéticamente está genial. En cuanto a la calidad, bueno, por el precio que tiene puedo decir que estoy satisfecho con la compra. El sonido no está mal, con matices oscuros, aunque no es tan terroso como pone en la descripción, yo lo definiría más bien como el nombre del plato indica, sonido crudo o sin pulir.
