25 euros???

The price for what you get is completely insane. B20 bronze. The sound is REALLY good, and I am quite picky on splashes. The appearance however is very "vanilla" - natural finish, no visible hammer marks, but you dont really care about the appearance of a such low priced splash cymbal. The splash is what i would call medium thin.
A side note - the splash came with a very visible lathing defect, which was on the bell of a cymbal. I could not feel the "dent" with my finger, so I decided not to return it, and the visible defect is fully covered by the cymbal felt. I hope this will not result in a crack in the future.
I gave the total a score of 5/5, because you cant really beat this price, and the sound is of a splash worth 100 euros.
Highly recommend.

Qualities -
Thin, good quality alloy, sounds great as a splash.

But to use it as just a splash would be such a shame. This is a great entry point to anyone who is interested in new sounds on the kit. I often use it on top of my 20" Caz ride, just stack it on top, it sounds awesome. Experiment and put it on top/underneath all your cymbals.

But the coup de grace is when you put it on your snare. Oh my. It sounds exactly like an electronic snare/clap sound when I lay it on my snare (13" Yamaha musashi) and hit the edge of the cymbal.

To summarise, just buy this thing, it's too cheap not to. Sounds fine as a splash, but serves much better when you get weird with it.

Cheap, thin and alright sounding
Anonymous 28.06.2016
This cymbal was cheap and sounds absolutely fine considering what I paid.
I wanted to experiment with a splash and this wasn't too much money to risk.
It wasn't very well finished however which I hope isn't the case for some of the more pricey Aja range, it would put me off trying out some of their larger pies (which I'd expect to be pretty budget as well) but nothing which cannot be sorted out with a little file and some sandpaper.
It is very thin and lightweight without any significant bell, it doesn't have a great deal of volume unless you blast it, but then that is the point of a splash.
I've had access to real junk budget brand cymbals before which cost a lot more than this and this cymbal is at least expressive and musical rather than just painful.
I recently got to play with a 10" zildjian zxt trashformer splash and to my ears it didn't sound like it was worth approximately 4 times the price of this Zultan.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking to experiment with a splash in their setup without breaking the bank or for a project of some type where a non-standard setup is being used or where a budget cymbal is sought, but one that doesn't sound absolutely awful.
Be aware of the quality control though and the fact that it is very thin and I doubt it'll last a lifetime.
I doubt thin splashes do though and it was 20 euro.

Great splash!
Odd Erik 05.08.2021
I bought the 8" and 10" version after reading all the good reviews and listening to the sound clips. When I received it I got a little sceptical since the 8" felt a bit thick, but when I played it, it sounded amazing. Very quick and crystal clear sound. Better than the sound clip. Not as "gongy" even if was a bit thick. Both sounded perfect.

I think it's all about taste, but the craft is really good for the sound and the price. Cheap simple effect cymbal. It does it's job.

I'm not generally a great fan of splashes, but for this I make an exception. It has a much more washy feel with a bit of sustain that I find pleasing.

Quality is very much better than you could reasonably expect for the price. That seems to be true of Zultan generally (I have a set of Zultan Caz that I am very pleased with).

Out of curiosity, because I wanted to experiment with a small set of hats for a compact practice / bop kit, I tried using this as the top hat over a heavier 10" splash (a cheap Stagg) and the result was suprisingly good.

Top value for money
Andrew2867 10.03.2015
I listened to all the 10" splashes online ans couldn't hear much difference between this one and FAR more expensive models. Now I have it, I am in no way disappointed. Further, I got two to see if I can use them as small, cheap hi hats with a cajon, and you can!

B20 10'' splash for 20€?! What's not to like here!?
eliah 23.09.2019
The item arrived packaged really good, it was nicely protected.

Sound of the cymbal can be easily compared to more priced splashes. After all, it is b20 splash that costs 20€ and some change?!! Sound is really satisfying from what I've heard so far, and should also be usefull on gigs. I sincerely don't know why would I buy some 70-120€ splash when I can have this one. Even if I buy it 2-3 times (if it breaks) I'm still under the budget of some more expensive cymbal that, by the way, also can break.

Cons: (guessing)
I guess they wouldn't be as good as more refined splashes in studio recordings. ---- I pull this back. The splash sounds like it would end up being pretty good in recordings as well!!! (First guessing was based on a cymbal being hit on my hand!)

I can seriously recommend this cymbal!

Great sound, considering the price of the cymbal the overall value is amazing. I was so pleased with it that I got the 12" splash as well.

love this cymbal to bits
ROAN02 30.07.2019
I use this cymbal if I am wanting a really clear and bright sounding splash which I think sounds best when it is slowly rolled it has such a great sound to it. I never buy cheaper end cymbal but this was exceptional and i plan to buy more aja cymbals
