Zultan 22" Ride Dark Matter Reviews

Love it!

Awesome stick definition and a lovely low wash when playing, bell sound is nice, quite pingy but not overly harsh. One thing to consider is you will NOT be getting a proper crash out of it, due to its size it makes more of a gongy sound. Also, the finish will pick up some stick marks (possibly due to me using firegrains), personally i don't think this is a big issue though. Overall, Iove this Cymbal, it's my favourite ride, awesome for heavy rock and sits in the mix perfectly for lighter smoother stuff, seems very durable and the quality is great! would wholeheartedly reccomend.

Awesome

Great for all music including rock, hip hop and jazz.

Really heavy and thicck with long sustain.

Excellent Crash!

This is an excellent crash cymbal for heavy rock. Dark and mysterious at the same time it isn't too dry. A solid bell.

Oh, and it works well as a ride too.

Great sound for the price

This is a great all round cymbal. I've used it in all kinds of styles from jazz to rock...it sounds great in most of them. It has suprising stick deffenition and warm, dark overtones.

It is a little on the louder side, especially when crashing it, but overall I'm verry satisfied.

The finish is unique and everybody wants to know what the cymbal is.

Superb Value Cymbal

I have nothing but praise for my recent purchase of a 22 inch Zultan Dark Ride Cymbal. It has a beautiful tone, not too dark but just enough and it cuts through with a nice sustain.The bell tone is superb also. Perfect for jazz.

All my other cymbals are old Avedis Zildjians and it compares very well with those but at a fraction of the price. In fact it sounds very similar to K Zildjians.

I can't list any cons because I can't find any, I would recommend anyone to try these cymbals, especially if on a budget, but even if not.

I am very tempted to try the Hi Hats, perhaps next Christmas.
