Zultan 20" Raw Flat Ride

A very specific tool, a very special instrument for a very precise musical ambition.

Then, it is not a lame ride as the flat spec may lend you to think. It is weird for sure, It is ready for sound effects and dark ambience confabulations, certainly, it will make you look like a hipster, sadly, but somehow, in my own drum set tune and configuration, has proven himself to be addictive to ears as a second ride playing roll.

Trance inductor addictive, because of its medium to low frequencies singing harmonic voices and its 4k sharp, woody stick definition riding well above its low volume wushm projection (not a wash, not a hum). Its hand made imperfections works for a very odd but musical system of frequencies.

There is no bell, so if happen to you to listen some highs end frequencies ringing out from this cymbal, it would maybe so because you have got yourself to high all ready, hence, to sensitive. Watch out.

I’ve buy it lookin for its low volume qualities and fast decay character, because I didn’t like the sound of the low volume pasta strainer style ones and I think that maybe I would be better served by the sound of the pot cover style ones, and I did end, in deed, being way better served by this outer space sound capable pot cover oddity.

Cymbale flat ride raw de chez Zultan, rien à dire sur la qualité de la cymbale d’aspect rude, son terreux, grave presque sans harmonique, très typé comme toute cymbale flat ride.

Le carton d’envoi m’a par contre déconcerté, la cymbale nageant dans le carton, sans autre protection que des chutes de cartons et l’enveloppe plastique de la cymbale.
Pas de papier-bulle ni le patron qui tient généralement les cymbales (avec différents diamètres).
