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 19" 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 19" 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 19" 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 19" 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 19" Crash, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

Great cymbal

AGHjazz 29.08.2023

Really impressed with this for the relatively low price compared to other brands, my other cymbals are Istanbul Agop and it sounds fine next to them. Will mainly be using as a light ride in acoustic jazz settings.

Echt Klasse Becken!

Jan E 01.02.2018

Ich habe mir das Zultan Raw Crash bestellt, weil es auf mich ein echt guten Eindruck gemacht hat, was Optik, Klang und vor allem den Preis anging. Als das Becken nach bereits zwei Tagen bei mir ankam war die Freude groß. Beim Auspacken fiel mir direkt auf, dass das Becken nicht nur auf den Fotos verdamt cool aussieht...
Zum Klang kann ich nur sagen: Ich habe genau das bekommen was ich erwartet habe. Ein dunkles Crash mit einem guten Klangsprektung und einer klaren Ansprache. Das Becken lässt sich durchaus auch als kleines erdiges Ride nutzen.
Natürlich merkt man einen Unterschied zu z.B. einem Meinl Byzance. Das sollte bei diesem Preisunterschied aber eigentlich logisch sein.
Mein Fazit: Wer aber für einen echt soliden Preis ein großes unbehandeltes Crash kaufen möchte, liegt mit der Entscheidung sich dieses Becken zu zulegen, meiner Meinung nach, Gold richtig.

Hyvä nopeasti syttyvä ja sammuva efektisymbaali

Anonymous 13.01.2017

Otsikko kertoo kaiken, erittäin tyytyväinen tähän hankintaan. Tuohon kun liittää vielä ching-ringin tai vastaavan, niin tällä saa hyvä soundin aikaiseksi.

Ei kelpaa komppikäyttöön, mutta eipä ole suunniteltukaan sellaiseksi. Nätti tumma soundi.

C'est de la balle

tonio_the_bear 29.11.2021

Achetée pour obtenir un son similaire aux Byzance Dry, pour un prix nettement moins élevé.

Eh bien on s'en approche vraiment !

Coté durabilité, je ne lui fait pas de cadeaux et elle ne bronche pas, pas de fissure, pas de keyhole après deux ans d'utilisation régulière.

Coté esthétique, you get what you see, ça plait ou non, mais au moins pas besoin de faire attention aux traces de doigts !

Carton Plein !
