Real bronze from the Far East

Zultan's most affordable cymbal series is called Aja – pronounced "Asia" – and, as the name suggests, is made in China. But unlike the machine-made B8 bronze cymbals offered in the same price range by their competitors, the Ajas are cast from high-quality B20 bronze and finished by hand. In addition to the 12" splash, the Aja range includes other individual cymbals in various sizes and designs, as well as various preconfigured sets.

Zultan 12" Aja Splash

B20 – the standard yesterday, today, and tomorrow

In China, people have been familiar with the manual production of gongs and cymbals for centuries, so a lot of experience has gone into making the Aja series. 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin, B20 for short, is the bronze alloy that has long been known to be the magic formula for high-quality, melodious cymbals. As the Aja cymbals are finished by hand, each one is unique, which means that slight sound variations among individual cymbals of the same model are normal. The sound of the Zultan 12" Aja Splash is lively and bright, making it ideal for short, sharp accents.

Good sound doesn't have to cost a fortune

High-quality cymbals are often unaffordable for beginners: Drummers on a budget will love the fact that Zultan Aja cymbals offer a lot of sound for not a lot of money. And it won't matter if they're playing Rock, Alternative, Grunge, Pop, or Funk – the 12" Aja Splash can be used in all of these genres and more thanks to its piercing projection and fast, splashy burst. This also means that this model might be exactly the thing more advanced drummers are looking for to round off their setup.

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.

Save money in the right places

Anyone who's serious about drumming, be they a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, knows that the sound of their cymbals is just as important as all the great features – and the cool look! – of their newly acquired drums. No matter whether it's only this 12" splash, or a complete Zultan Aja cymbal set for even better value for money – the investment is definitely worth it, because the cymbals sound so good that even experienced drummers will get years of playing pleasure from them. And the Aja range is so diverse that other cymbals from the hi-hat, crash, ride, china, and splash categories can be purchased later, or as needed, to meet players' changing demands.

Good splash

This splash has good body and a low tone. It's great for all types of music and it won't break quickly.

12" splashes as Hi-Hats
Zultan Convert 17.09.2014
I purchased 2 12" Zultan Aja splashes to use as hi hats for quiet gigs, rehearsals and practice and have been genuinely delighted with the sounds I can get from them. I've heard that Thomann source Zultan cymbals from a Turkish manufacturer but i'm not sure which one, but for the price these Zultan cymbals are incredible and I'll definitely be getting more in the future. Very happy!

good sound
Kapser 16.08.2025
It certainly sounds well for the price. But the 12 inch splash has to match in your cymbal set. I discovered a 10 inch splash was better to fit with the other cymbals and this 12 inch didn't. But the cymbal on itself is really good.

One of my favourites!
Reeceq96 09.09.2017
This cymbal sits comfortably in the middle of my drum kit. Given the size it is the perfect blend between a splash and a crash. I switched to zultan from zildjian and I am very happy i made the decision
