Zultan 08" Rock Beat Splash

Tra i tre splash di questa serie, a disposizione da thomann, è quello che preferisco. Ci si aspetta un suono massimamente esplosivo, squillante, ma in realtà ha una lieve morbidezza che lo rende un piatto molto versatile. L'ho montato con un clutch sopra gli hi hat: il peso è assolutamente ininfluente con il meccanismo a molla della meccanica degli hi hat. La qualità costruttiva e sonora è professionale. Di fatto è un "turkish", rimarchiato "zultan" per thomann.

Got this thinking it would make a good temporary replacement when my old Orion 8" splash finally cracked. However I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this splash!!

A significantly deeper fundamental tone than my Orion splash but nicely bright in overtones, so it's quite rich and lively without being tinny. It also doesn't possess much of a chinese or bell-like sound I've heard in some splashes, which aren't bad sounds per se, but not what I'm looking for in a regular splash.

I have the 17" crash from this series and I feel it's tone has a slightly mellow edge and isn't quite as suited to VERY heavy music. This splash to my ears however, has an overall more bouncy and crisper sound which lends itself better to heavy music, although it may need an additional mic because it isn't the loudest of splashes and 8 inchers tend to be quiet-ish anyway.

In my opinion, it's a pretty good all-rounder splash, great for adding flair to fills and playing beats on, plus it's nice and shiny and an absolute steal!!

I removed a star for quality because the central hole in the cymbal I received wasn't perfectly circular. It can be felt when running your finger around it, but it isnt sharp and It's only visible on close inspection. Considering the price/performance ratio, I can live with a small invisible defect like that and the sound is still great regardless!
