Zultan 22" Raw Ride
Ride Cymbal
Latest User Reviews
A Very Musical Cymbal.
I had never tried a Zultan until this one and was happy enough with the purchase to additional acquire a set of hi hats in the same product line. Very musical. Works especially well with hand heel strikes and gong mallets for ambient work. A lovely cymbal all around.
lacks ping if played loud
it has the best wash I could wish for, but as soon as I try to play it loud the wash takes over the ping and the resulting sound gets quite confused. hence I would say this is a perfect jazz/fusion ride (for those genres it's a typical "Zultan Bargain" and deserves six stars), BUT I warn you that it's not as versatile as you could expect and you should look for something drier if you want to play loud grooves on it, for example rock or some serious funk. in conclusion I gave it four stars only because I can't control it perfectly in any situation: the sound itself is, if you play it in the right situation, incredibly rich, pleasant, deep and defined, expecially on the bell.
