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 17" Raw Crash 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 17" 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 17“ Crash from the Raw series is perfect for the task: It can be played with sticks, rods, or brushes, 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 17" 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 17" 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 17" Crash, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

Solides Crash

Ich habe mir dieses Crash vor einem Jahr gekauft und seitdem bei jeder Probe im Einsatz.

Im Vergleich zu doppelt so teuren Becken von den großen Herstellern wird dieses Becken nicht gewinnen, allerdings hat es dennoch einen guten Sound - wenn man ein dunkles Becken sucht.

Ich habe als linkes Crash das 18" aus der Q-Serie von Zultan und dieses als rechtes.
Das Raw Crash ist im Vergleich ein ticken zu leise und die 19" Version würde mir besser gefallen und wird in Zukunft angeschafft.

Für mich definitiv ein gutes Becken für wenig Geld und super für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene geeignet. Profis werden dann aber wahrscheinlich doch lieber mehr Geld investieren.

Sonido Oscuro, peso y tamaño muy favorables, es un platillo que tiene un martillado bueno. Tiene una apertura de sonido sensible al golpeo fuerte, solo al pegarle mas o menos fuerte ya consigues el color casi completo del platillo, cuando te adaptas y lo controlas, podrás lograr un manejo hermoso con este crash en especial.
