The success story of the cymbal manufacturer Zultan began in the year 2000 with the Rock Beat series. The finest B20 bronze, hammered into shape by hand and lathed by experienced Turkish cymbal smiths, guarantees a multi-layered, full, and cutting sound. This makes the cymbals perfect for Rock, but thanks to the wide range of models, sizes, and thicknesses, they are also suitable for many other styles. Never before has a professional cymbal sound been available for such an affordable price.
80% copper and 20% tin: This has been the stuff that (cymbal) dreams are made of for centuries. All major manufacturers rely on this recipe for their top series – at prices that quickly leave some drummers feeling pretty despondent. It's all the more gratifying, then, that Zultan's Rock Beat cymbals are also affordable for less well-heeled drummers. The 18" Trash Crash has an array of small holes and provides biting accents with its trashy sound; it has a great dynamic range, and with its brilliant finish also looks pretty damn good into the bargain.
If it says Rock on the outside, there should be Rock on the inside – and that's indisputably true with Zultan's Rock Beat series. Thanks to its sharp and quickly decaying sound, the 18" Trash Crash will easily stand out against distorted guitars and is therefore the ideal choice for all types of Rock music. With its sensitive response, though, it's also capable of developing its full potential in the middle dynamic range, so that nothing should stop drummers also using it for Pop, Funk, or Blues music.
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.
Young drummers putting together their first drumkit should pay particular attention to the quality of the cymbals because – while inferior cymbals may be enough for some drummers – the sound of the cymbals massively limits a drumkit in terms of dynamics and expression. With the 18" Trash Crash from Zultan’s Rock Beat series, or even an affordable complete set, drummers get a lot of quality for not a lot of money, guaranteeing drumming pleasure for years to come. Even professional drummers who already have B20 cymbals are sure to find the 18" Trash Crash a worthy addition to their existing setup.
