in 22" Ride Cymbals

A classic among Rock cymbals

Cymbal manufacturer Zultan began its success story with the launch of its "Rock Beat" series in the year 2000. These cymbals are hammered and milled by hand in Zultan's workshops by Turkish artisans and guarantee a full and multifaceted sound that easily cuts through in a mix and makes them perfect for Rock music. Thanks to the wide range of models, sizes, and thicknesses available, however, players of many other styles will also find what they are looking for here. Never before has a professional cymbal sound been available at such an affordable price.

Bright sound and dazzling looks

For centuries, a combination of 80% copper and 20% tin has been the recipe for perfection when it comes to cymbal-making, and is consequently the one used by every manufacturer for their top-of-the-line series. The prices that these cymbals fetch leave the majority of drummers shaking their heads, however - all the better therefore that Zultan's Rock Beat series is within the reach of those who don't have a fortune to spend. The sound of the 22" Medium Ride is warm and full and the bell provides a punchy high end, while the cymbal's dazzling finish makes it look pretty damn good at the same time.

Detail of Zultan Rock Beat 22" Medium Ride

More than just Rock

When it says "Rock" on the outside, there should be Rock on the inside - and that is absolutely true of Zultan's Rock Beat series. Thanks to its clear and powerful sound, the 22" Medium Ride can easily cut through over distorted guitars and is therefore the ideal choice for all types of Rock music. Thanks to its balanced response, however, it is also a great choice for styles like Pop, Funk, and Blues.

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.

Professional sound at a budget-friendly price

Those who start learning to play the drums should pay particular attention to the quality of their cymbals, because while lower-grade cymbals may be sufficient for the needs of some players, they do still have clear limitations in terms of dynamics and expression. With its Rock Beat 22" Medium Ride (or perhaps even one of its affordable complete sets), Zultan gives drummers impressive quality at an affordable price, so an enjoyable playing experience is guaranteed in the long term. Even professional drummers who already have B20 cymbals may find the 22" Medium Ride to be the perfect addition to their existing setup.

Das perfekte Ride-Becken, für mich ;)

Lukas O. 24.02.2013

Klang:

Das Ride ist sehr akzentuiert mit einem prägnanten, angenehmen Ping! Der Wusch ist zwar vorhanden aber deutlich ruhiger als man es von vergleichbaren Becken kennt.
Die Kuppe klingt (nur) mittelstark "glockig".

Im direkten vergleich mit einem Zultan 20" Rock Beat Medium Ride ist es deutlich akzentuierter und besitzt weniger Wusch.
Im Vergleich mit einem Zultan 22" F5 Heavy Ride ist es weniger akzentuiert und besitzt deutlich weniger Wusch!

Verarbeitung:

Viele Musiker maßen sich an dieser Stelle an irgend einen Käse aus nem Fachblatt nach zu äffen...
Ich kann nur sagen was ich sehe und fühle und das sieht sehr schick aus und ist sauber verarbeitet.
Das Logo ist nach den ersten paar polituren verschwunden... Für mich nichts negatives.

Mein persönliche Meining:
Das Becken (wie auch die gesamte Serie) wurde von mir mit sehr viel bekannteren und deutlich teureren Becken verglichen und hat mich als einziges zufrieden gestellt!
Es klingt nach Substanz, leicht Glockig im gesammtklang, nicht blechern und erst recht nicht billig!
Ich spiele HardRock und Metal und freue mich immer wieder wie gut dieses Becken in diesen Genres zu Hause ist!

Vorsicht günstig!

Das Becken klingt laut/eindringlich - wie die gesamte Rock Medium Reihe. (Im Vergleich zu Sabian Xs20, Sabian AA/AAX, Meinl Byzance Sand Crash, Meinl X-tra Dry.) Die Thomann-Beispiele kommen sehr nah an die Wirkung in der Realität - gute Arbeit. Allerdings gibt es kein A-B direkt vergleich zu vorher genannten gegenbeispielen - daher kann man leicht ein verfälschtes Bild erlangen. Beim Testhören also bitte das Aufbausch-Verhalten beachten und den "Wash" der den Ping nach mehreren Anschlägen verschlingt - vorallem mit weichen, leichten Sticks übertönt der aufdringliche "wash" das "ping". Kann in bestimmten Situationen funktionieren - falls erwünscht. Allerdings muss dann auf vielseitigkeit verzichtet werden. Das Becken klingt zwischen 20% - 80% Anschlagsstärke sehr ähnlich. Dadurch fühlt und hört es sich nicht dynamisch an (was es vlt. auch nicht soll). Daher muss man genau wissen ob dieser Klang für das Vorhaben funktioniert.
Die Thomann-Beispiele klingen also etwas "dynamischer", "seidiger" und "verzeihender" als in der Realität. Ansonsten kann es durchaus mit Sabian AAX/AA "mithalten".

pas mal du tout...

Tom1447 29.05.2015

plus de sustaine que sur l'écoute proposer par thomann, reste assez claire quand même; quelques traces de fabrication ( petits défaut d’homogénéité du métal visible), un très bon rapport qualité prix, surtout comparer au prix de ce type de produit chez les grandes marques .
