Zultan 19" Aja Crash

Great cymbal

Zultan is a great brand and even with a cheap cymbal like this, they deliver great quality with a descent sound! I bought this as a cheap quick replacement and stuck to it.

Sounds great in the studio and is loud on stage!

Inbrekable

I'm a working, pro rock drummer. And used and tried dozens of crash cymbals that eventually break despite of their thickness, price and sound. This one simply doesn't breake. The sound is on the rough side, but for this price I can't imagine better deal. Bought 18" too. Considering the sound, I play big venues and open airs so being completely miked, this cymbal gets the job done with slight EQ adjustments.

Not the sound i expected.

I bought this along with the 17" Aja Crash and I was surprised to hear that the 17" crash actually has a lower pitch than this. It has a very high pitch for a crash this size. You also have to hit it very hard to get the sound out of it. It feels as though this is something in between a crash and a ride although it doesn't do a very good job at either of those. The bell of the cymbal is as loud as you'd expect from a ride. You could maybe use this cymbal as a ride for smaller acoustic gigs.
