Zultan 18" Aja China

Fantastic Studio Quality Sound / Fragile Build

This is my favourite type of China cymbal mould. It delivers amazing resonance, just enough trashy / selective sound to cut through live performances and offers great value for money. I'm not a hard hitter, but unfortunately it cracked after 3 months of use. I ended up still using it for over a year as it sounded great with shortened sustain. I've just retired it now and it has a proud spot on my wall display. I would still highly recommend, but be gentle with it and maybe get some extra stacks of cymbal felts / washers to go with it.

Lasted one rehearsel....

I bought this for being used in practice sessions.

But it broke after just one rehearsel. And I didn't even hit it that hard.

It sounds good, it is cheap, but the quality does not justify it for me.

Decent Quality and Cutting Sound

I've had this china for a few years now and its a solid piece for the price.

No cracks yet after a proper thrashing

Sound is ok

Very thin material. Not really for rehearsals, wont last long.

Maybe it could b used for studio needs.

Pros: Sounds amazing, to be honest. If you love bright Chinas, this is one of the very best I ve played.

Cons: Downside is, it doesn t last long. I ve had 3 of those in a year, they break very very easily, the last one lasted me days before it broke.

Bad quality

Zultan 18" Aja China sounds ok BUT ! ,very poor quality. Cracks in the middle (i have two of these)............

Zultan 18" Aja China crash

I have to say I really like this Zultan 18" Aja China crash.

thank you.

as a china should be

love this cymbal as i do my other zultan purchases. this china takes a beating in my metal band. great for accents and off beat work as well as crashing on it.

Great value china with great sound

Exactly what I was looking for in a china. Trashy, fairly light in pitch, not bad when ridden, but best when used for accent crashes. Recommended, and Zultan as a manufacturer too.
