Zultan 16" Aja China Reviews
Literal trash
Broke in a week, a massive crack in it.
Bro.. you will not regreet it
this thing isnt worthing 50 euros ... it competes proffesional cymbals the best buy we did on the whole set of brand new drums was this cymbal..
Sounds amazing for the Price!
I recently bought this to add a second china to my kit, and to my surprise it sounds amazing! It is surprisingly loud and shrill for the size, however it sounds great on recordings. The only downside I can think of about it is likely the fact that it does not seem the most durable. It picks up stick marks easily and the same with finger marks, although despite that I have not had any major issues with it bending or cracking, and I play mostly metal so I hit fairly hard. Another thing to mention is that it does not work well for stacks, as it has a really big bell, making it difficult to use unless you have access to a hi-hat stand. Either way I would most recommend this to anyone who needs a loud and trashy china for little money.
Really clunky, pingy sound with far too strong a decay
Far too harsh and pingy sounding, feels far too heavy for a China cymbal, didn’t give me the washy, trashy sound I was looking for. Sounds more like a cracked ride than a China
Well worth the price
Deciding not to go for obvious choices like Sabian and Zildjian, I thought I'd see what other brands are around. I seen some reviews of Zultan cymbals and thought I'd try them.
I REALLY like this china! It's just the sound I was looking for and I certainly wasn't expecting that for the price. The workmanship could be a little better on it but, it's a cymbal that's designed to be smacked, not a piece of fine art.
I use it in the studio, the sound is great. it might not be as strong..
Good budget china.
Traditional lion style china with a natural finish. Typical dry and trashy sound. Be aware the bell profile will be awkward to stick with other cymbals in a case. Would work great for orchestral percussion.
good
my 1st china, sounds suprizingly good for a 16".
Quite loud and raw, feels at home in hardcore breakdowns, occasional accents, and certain rythm sections.
Unfortunately developed a 5cm crack in the outer ring, after half a year, weekly abuse.
My First China
This is my first china cymbal so I dont have much to go on. The only others I have played myself are the Zildjian Oriental and the Sabian XS20 but I feel this holds up. I really enjoy the tone it offers
The best value for money
Those cymbals can easily beat word class companies.....
Very nice cymbal... I've bought it for my drummer friend's birthday and he was very happy. He ended up using it as a hi-hat for a crashing sound and I must admit it works well. It's well made, well finished, sounds nice and is priced fairly.
