Classic looks, complex sound

With the Caz series, the Turkish cymbal specialist Zultan has created a collection of extremely inexpensive handcrafted cymbals made of premium B20 bronze. Their sound profile has been carefully tuned to make them ideal for Jazz, as well as other genres that tend towards the mellow. The cymbals are manufactured in Turkey using methods that have remained more or less unchanged for centuries, with a great emphasis on skilled handcraft – the simple, classic look of the cymbals is just as traditional as the workmanship itself. The Caz range includes numerous Crash, Crash/Ride, Ride, Sizzle Ride, and Hi-Hat models; two pre-configured sets are also available.

Quality craftsmanship at a competitive price

Merely mentioning handcrafted cymbals from Turkey is enough to get knowledgeable drummers and percussionists pricking up their ears. However, a look at the prices involved will often have their jaws dropping, too. This is exactly where Zultan's Caz cymbals come in: Rarely has so much musical mojo been available for so little money. Now, some of the premium models from the established brands truly are outstanding – but the Caz cymbals, which are completely hand-lathed and hammered over their entire surface, are extremely competitive contenders. The 21" crash here brings a warm, earthy sound with fine treble detail and a sensitive stick response. Thanks to its impressive size and articulate sound, it can also be used as a lightweight ride.

Jazz in Turkish

Caz is simply the Turkish word for Jazz, and it's clear that these cymbals have been designed with that very purpose in mind. Jazz drummers need light instruments that react to the gentlest touch and deliver a balanced, harmonious sound across all dynamic levels, from soft to loud. Of course, this applies not only to Jazz, but to genres like Blues, Funk, Latin, and Soul, where Caz cymbals can also be played to their strengths. As such, this 21" crash can be used in a variety of ways, delivering just the right sound for each of the aforementioned genres, and responding well to rods or brushes, too.

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.

Jazz is just the beginning…

The Zultan Caz cymbals may have Jazz in their name, but can be used almost universally and are at home wherever pleasant, balanced cymbals are required – they have a warm sound spectrum without jarring frequencies. This is the case for all kinds of acoustic, unamplified music, which might include unplugged guitar sessions, but also live Salsa gigs or Gospel concerts in churches. Of course, there's nothing to stop Caz cymbals being used with amplified music too, as long as they're played sensitively and with the right tools. The Zultan 21" Caz Crash has a fast, articulate and yet warm and washy crash; despite the clear, powerful accents it's capable of contributing, it'll never be too loud or dominant, melting instead into the sound of the rest of the band.

Wie erwartet: Top

Große dünne brilliante Becken lösen ja gern Kaufbedürfnis bei mir aus:
Je mehr ich sie schon mit der Hand leicht biegen kann, desto besser.

Warme, durchsetzungsfähige Ansprache, wird für Metalcore genutzt, aber ich sehe es auch in anderen härteren Genres gut vertreten. Lässt sich gut abstoppen, Glocke kommt nicht so durch und nimmt dem Becken das unangenehme Ping, was ich bei unbiegsameren Becken nicht mag.
Entgegen anderer Becken sind die Caz sehr Fettflecken-anfällig, wer weiß woran das liegt; stört mich aber nicht.

Gran opción por el precio!

Un sonido comparable a platillos de mucho mayor precio. Brillante pero resistente, y a la vez con un sonido fino. Toda la serie de Caz de Zultan es muy recomendada!
