Love at first sight

Zultan's Q Series is a range of medium-heavy, hand-hammered Turkish cymbals made of B20 bronze, which are striking because of their unusual appearance. The different surface treatments are not only pleasing to the eye, but also have an effect on the sound. The result is a sound that can be used in many different styles, cuts through well, and at the same time has a dark, warm sound range. The affordable Q Series is aimed at ambitious beginners and advanced drummers and offers individually available hi-hats, crashes, splashes, and rides as well as pre-configured complete sets.

Opposites attract attention

While the completely lathed and high-gloss polished underside of the Q cymbals is similar to the popular Zultan Rock Beat series, the upper side is absolutely unique. The rim, which is covered with deep hammer indentations, is unlathed, as is the bell – this raw, earthy look creates a strong contrast to the high-gloss centre. The manual craftsmanship of Zultan's experienced Turkish cymbal smiths makes each cymbal really unique. The 14" hi-hat has a powerful, dynamic, full sound with a slightly dark character and medium sustain.

One letter - many uses

The Zultan Q cymbals are in the medium weight category and are ideal for genres such as Pop, Funk, and Blues thanks to their warm and balanced sound with a slightly reduced treble range. Their sound always blends homogeneously into the musical environment and leaves plenty of room for the other instruments. With its clearly defined sound when being played closed, the 14" hi-hat effortlessly cuts through without dominating the musical performance, and has an excellent stick response. Playing the hi-hat half open will bring out its relatively dark, dynamic character.

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.

The Q Series does it all

The 14" Zultan Q hi-hat is an excellent choice wherever a punchy but not-too-bright hi-hat sound is desired, be it a Blues session, Funk gig, or Pop concert. Whether it's played loud or soft, it consistently produces a pleasant, approachable sound that stays controlled, without ever being too prominent. Another possible use is in the mixed genres of acoustic and electronic music that are so popular these days, in which darker-sounding cymbals are preferred, as their profile suits the overall atmosphere better. Last but not least, all Q cymbals will also do an excellent job in the studio, as their sonic properties make them extremely microphone-friendly.

My First Zultan

Anonymous 23.09.2016

They look great, some of the best looking cymbals on the market.

The sound is quite distinctive. Open is a little bit trashy, good chic sound, clear stick definition. I agree with most others here in saying they're a fraction quieter than most. I'd say this is a benefit more than a drawback though as hi hats bleeding in to snare mics happens so often.

This will have application in most play-styles, but I'd imagine the washy sound would be inappropriate in some contexts.

My only criticism is that the hats don't sit totally flush, they sit slightly skewed and about 3mm of the bottom hat
is visible on one side. I thing any difference this makes to the sound is negligible.

The sound is really raw and you can variate the timbre a lot depending on where you hit it.
It's pretty heavy, so consider this before buying. I personally love it, but i guess it's not the best when it comes to really clean and light playing (even tho it makes a good work also for that).

Coole Optik, schöner Klang

Anonymous 03.02.2016

Hallo zusammen ,

das Q series Hihat von Zultan ist wirklich ein sehr gut klingendes HiHat .
Ich hab mir das HiHat gekauft für mein 2. Schlagzeug im Keller zum üben, da ich nicht immer hin und her schrauben möchte.

die Verarbeitung lässt keine Wünsche offen .

Das HiHat einen relativ Crispen hohen und durchsetzungsfähigen Sound der sehr gut für Pop und Rock Musik geeignet ist wie ich finde
Die Sockansprchae ist sehr dynamisch egal ob offen oder geschlossen.

Diese Qualität ist normal für den Preis von anderen Herstellern nicht zu bekommen !

Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung und ich werde mir beim nächsten besuch in Treppendorf mehr von Zultan anschauen .

Le charley à (presque) tout faire

LaGargouille 18.03.2021

Bon soyons clair à coté de mon autre charley Bosphorus Hammer, il manque un peu de finesse niveau son, c'est indéniable.
Mais pour autant ce charley a un excellent rapport qualité/prix et offre des nuances selon la frappe en jouant sur les parties usinées ou non de la cymbales.son son médium le rendant assez polyvalent comme l'ensemble du modèle Q qui possède sa propre identité sonore et il n'a pas à rougir devant les modèles de grandes marques de moyenne gammes largement plus chers.
Avantages :
- usinage très correct
- sonorité sympa
- bon rapport/qualité prix
- bel esthétique
- plutôt polyvalent
Inconvénients :
- n'a pas l'aura des grandes marques (à tort) et donc grosse décote à la revente
- impossibilité de l'essayer avant d'acheter à moins d'habiter Treppendorf et les alentours...
