Real bronze from the Far East

Zultan's most affordable cymbal series is called Aja - pronounced "Asia" - and is made in China. Unlike the machine-made B8 cymbals offered in the same price range by their competitors, the Ajas are cast from high-quality B20 bronze and hand-hammered. In addition to the 20" ride, the Aja range offers other individual cymbals in various sizes and designs in addition to various preconfigured sets.

B20 - the standard yesterday, today, and tomorrow

In China, people have been familiar with the manual production of gongs and cymbals for centuries, so a lot of experience has gone into making the Aja series. 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin, B20 for short, is the name of the formula that has long since established itself as the magic formula for high-quality, melodious cymbals. As the cymbals are hand-hammered, each one is unique, which means that slight sound variations among several cymbals of the same type are normal. The sound of the 20" Aja Ride is lively and balanced with a slightly "trashy" note that gives the cymbal its very own character.

Good sound doesn't have to cost a fortune

High-quality cymbals are often unaffordable for beginner drummers, so they can now be happy that the Zultan Aja cymbals offer a lot of sound for not a lot of money. No matter if you are playing Rock, Alternative, Grunge, Pop, or Funk - the 20" Aja Ride can be used in each of these genres thanks to its powerful and harmonic sound. However, with this model even advanced drummers might find exactly the right cymbal to close the remaining gap in their setup.

About Zultan

To provide traditional craftsmanship at a fair price has been the guiding principle of Zultan ever since it was founded in 2000. The firm’s practice of selling directly to the end customer makes it possible to offer very customer-friendly prices. Nevertheless, the production process for Zultan’s trademark cymbals, which are made mainly in Turkey, is of the highest quality, a fact which has ensured they have also been a fixture in the Thomann range since 2011. The nearly 250 Zultan products cover several cymbal series, catering for all sectors of the music market. Zultan also offers accessories such as bags and drumsticks. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and manufacturing expertise, Zultan really does offer uncompromising quality at a reasonable price.

Save money in the right places

Anyone who is serious about drumming as a beginner drummer knows that a good cymbal sound is just as important as the great features and the cool look of the newly acquired drums. No matter whether you only buy the 20" ride or a complete Zultan Aja cymbal set at an unbeatable price - the investment is definitely worth it, because the cymbals sound so good that you will still have fun playing them years later. The Aja range is so diverse that other cymbals from the hi-hat, crash, ride, china, and splash categories can be purchased later to meet players' growing demands.

Sturdy reliable Ride Cymbal

pepv 30.05.2019

I have tried many cymbals, from the very thin ones to the heavy impossible-to-move ones. I like warm, full sounds with lots of overtones and many ways to play them.
The Zultan 20" Aja Ride has some of all qualities, it is not a light ride, it is not a warm ride but for sure it is sturdy and reliable.
If you need a clear sound, no particular exotic overtones but something that you need for long time and that can be beaten over and over without even noticing, this is the cymbal for you.
I mainly use it for rehearsals and for jamming.
It may not be the most refined one but it will last for a very long time and will give you lots of satisfaction.

Crispy

Reeceq96 08.10.2017

This ride. This ride cymbal has such a crisp, warm tone. Striking the bow of the cymbal provides a bright sound with a sustain that doesnt "overstay it's welcome". The bell offers a cool 'ping' sound that cuts without being intrusive. The only criticism I can offer is that the weight of the cymbal makes it hard to crash effectively sometimes, but that's what I have crash cymbals for.

Great sounding ride

ShawnLane 28.10.2019

I really like the sound of this ride. It has a nice ping and a deep wash when you need it, as well as a powerful, good-sized bell. Medium thickness I'd say.

Great Tonal Qualities for the Price

Lord T 13.03.2019

excellent and affordable ride. We tried out several at much higher prices but this one offered a light and bright tonal qualities without some of the messier lower frequencies.
