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 22" Raw Ride 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 22" Raw Ride has a very musical tone, yet it's compact and clean-sounding, with few overtones.

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 22" Ride from the Raw series is perfect for the task: It can be played with sticks, rods, or brushes, producing a great variety of subtle tones, and is thus also suitable 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 22" Raw Ride 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 22" Zultan Raw Ride 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 Ride is actually a perfect studio cymbal, where it' 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 14" Ride, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

lacks ping if played loud
Lorenzo Biondi 25.12.2017
it has the best wash I could wish for, but as soon as I try to play it loud the wash takes over the ping and the resulting sound gets quite confused. hence I would say this is a perfect jazz/fusion ride (for those genres it's a typical "Zultan Bargain" and deserves six stars), BUT I warn you that it's not as versatile as you could expect and you should look for something drier if you want to play loud grooves on it, for example rock or some serious funk. in conclusion I gave it four stars only because I can't control it perfectly in any situation: the sound itself is, if you play it in the right situation, incredibly rich, pleasant, deep and defined, expecially on the bell.

A Very Musical Cymbal.
Discount Bassy 04.05.2023
I had never tried a Zultan until this one and was happy enough with the purchase to additional acquire a set of hi hats in the same product line. Very musical. Works especially well with hand heel strikes and gong mallets for ambient work. A lovely cymbal all around.

Zultan = TOP Cymbals!
Anonymous 08.08.2016
Dieses Ridebecken hat mich voll überzeugt. Es ist ein gutes Ride, handgehämmert und wie von Zultan gewohnt von sehr guter Qualität.
Ich finde die Verarbeitung durch die exakte und tiefe Handhämmerung sehr gelungen. Da das Becken nicht abgedreht ist und wegen der Art der Bearbeitung hat das Becken seinen besonderen, erdigen Sound.
Ich hatte eigentlich vor, das Zultan 22" Raw Jazz Ride zu kaufen, entschied mich dann aber nach einem Test vor Ort doch für das 22" Raw Ride.
Es ist ein gutes Ridebecken, auf dem sich sowohl Jazz als auch Rock/Pop sehr gut spielen lässt. Natürlich ist es für andere Genres geeignet, lediglich als Hardrockride würde ich es nicht unbedingt verwenden. Einziges kleines Manko im Einsatz als Jazzride ist, dass das Becken sich kaum ancrashen lässt, das geht bei der Jazzasuführung etwas besser.
Ich finde es einfach geil, wie wuchtig und dunkel dieses Ride klingt. Dabei ist es trotzdem noch möglich, nach dem ancrashen schnelle Jazznoten usw. zu spielen! Hier macht es sich bezahlt, dass die 22" Raw Ausführung etwas schwerer ist, als die Jazzvariante (es schwingt nicht so schnell).
Zu meinem bisherigen Beckenset (Meinl 14" MCS Hi-Hat, 20" MCS Ride), ist das für mich eine sehr gute Ergänzung!

Cymbale parfaite pour le jazz et le latin. le ping est très clair et très bien défini. Cette cymbale ne s'emballe pas, même dans un tempo très rapide. Je recommande pour les batteurs en recherche d'un son fin avec un ping très précis. La cloche est très intéressante pour jouer du latin. Bref la définition d'une flat-ride avec une cloche très présente.
