Raw visuals, fine sound

Zultan's Raw cymbal series is characterised, as its name suggests, by a raw, earthy look with surfaces that reveal the natural colour of the B20 bronze and deliberately do without a high-gloss polish. The Raw cymbals produce dark, dry sounds that blend perfectly with the music and prove a perfect choice wherever the player wants to obtain a warm and unobtrusive tone from their cymbals. The cymbals are made in Turkey, the country in which the art of cymbal making is most highly developed and where cymbal smiths who have learned their craft from scratch use traditional methods to create high-quality, good-sounding instruments.

In tune with the music

Each Zultan Raw Series cymbal is made from 80% copper and 20% tin and is hammered by hand. This makes every cymbal unique, but in the final tonal tuning process, care is taken to ensure that the specified tolerances are met. Not lathing the cymbals results on the one hand in the special look, on the other hand in a controlled sound that is characterised by a slightly reduced treble response and a relatively short sustain. Thanks to these special sound characteristics, there is no risk that the cymbals of the Raw series will dominate the music too much. The medium-heavy 15" hi-hat offers a sensitive response and a defined sound that remains controllable even when playing fully open, and the "chick" sound when pressing down the hi-hat pedal always cuts through with ease.

From unplugged to Electro and back again

Drummers from the genres of Pop, Fusion, Funk, and Jazz need fast responding, dynamic cymbals that blend homogeneously into different settings, and the 15" hi-hat from Zultan's Raw series is perfect for this job. It can be played with sticks, rods, or brushes, and is therefore also suitable for unplugged sessions. Fans of hybrid drumming, in which acoustic and electronic sounds are on an equal footing, often prefer cymbals with dry sound characteristics - which of course are one of the typical features of the Raw series, meaning that the 15" hi-hat will do an excellent job in this area as well.

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.

Microphones love the Raw cymbals

The 15" Zultan Raw Hi-Hat can be used flexibly and, apart from very loud music styles, has virtually no musical limits. Thanks to its moderate volume and balanced frequency spectrum, the Raw hi-hat will also prove its worth in the studio, where it benefits a balanced mix if the cymbals are heard as little as possible on the drum microphones. Even in acoustically difficult locations, for example in large halls or reverberant rehearsal rooms, the Zultan 15" Raw Hi-Hat, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, will deliver very good results.

The perfect dark phat hats.
Caveperson 08.05.2018
I play everything from Jazz to Metal and these hi-hats sound great in every setting, from soft to loud, the chick is tight, crisp, the open sound is dark and roaring, but doesn't get away from you, due to the cymbals being raw and unlathed. I highly recommend Zultan cymbals. Pro quality B20 bronze at a very nice price. Cheers.

Positively surprised
AndrewRu 06.10.2021
I was positively surprised - for this price range it's a really good hi-hat. I've been using it for three years (rehersals and gigs) and it's still going without any cracks. I needed a raw sounding hi-hat for my Meinl's Dark Custom crashes and it worked perfectly.

Rohe Schätzchen, aber leider zu speziell ...
ZultanGearHead 15.02.2018
Gewünscht war eine 15er Hihat - tief, warm und anders. Als überzeugtem Zultanianer wären außer den beiden RAW Hihats auch noch die Doppeldecker aus der Caz- und Dark Matter Serie mit im Rennen gewesen. Aber die beiden letzt genannten waren mir soundmäßig zu "normal". Meine 14er Caz Hihat sollte als X-Hat dienen, die neue 15er als Hauptinstrument. Von den beiden georderten Beckenpaaren wurde eines gleich aussortiert, da das Top-Becken völlige Schräglage hatte. Die Junx in Istanbul schaffen es einfach nicht, die Bronzeteller in der Stanze richtig zu zentrieren. Ansonsten gibt es qualitativ nix zu beanstanden. ?

Der Sound. Hat mir in den Soundfiles sehr gut gefallen. Gilt auch für die 15er Raw Jazz Hi-Hat, welche ich ebenfalls geordert hatte. Spielt man die Teller allein, klingt`s wunderbar. Tief, warm, voll und jenseits von 0815. Im Set konnte ich mich aber für keines der Produkte richtig erwärmen. Irgenwie passte der Klang nicht in mein Set. Teller rauf, Teller runter. Nächstes probiert. Und wieder von vorne. Das ging fast eine Woche so. Schließlich habe ich meine Gretsch Holzsnare runtergestimmt bis ultimo. Die Stimmung ist sonst mittig. Und siehe: auf einmal passt der Sound! Das Problem ist, dass die Becken sich aufgrund der tiefen Tonlage nicht gegenüber einer höher gestimmten Snare durchsetzen können. Ich spreche hier nicht davon, Achtel oder Sechzehntel durchzudreschen - die Hihat Becken sind laut genug. Es geht um das akzentuierte Öffnen der Teller. Da fehlen den Becken die Obertöne, die Brillianz. Bei tiefer Snare kein Problem, aber wie gesagt, ist die Stimmung mittig oder höher, gehen die Becken unter. Das ist jammerschade, denn wir haben es hier eigentlich mit feinen, urigen, erdigen und außergewohnlichen Instrumenten zu tun. Nützt nur nüschd, wenns nich ins Set passt.
Fazit:
Die 15 Zoll Raw Jazz Hi-Hat Becken von Zultan sehr eigenwillige Instrumente, die allemal verdient haben, Freunde zu finden. Ob sie auch wirklich zum eigenen Musikstil passen merkt man erst, wenn sie im Set hängen. Soundfiles sind halt nur bedingt aussagefähig. Optik vom feinsten, wenn man rohe Linge mag. Sound an sich gut, deswegen volle Punktzahl; ausnahmsweise mal nix zu meckern, was die Qualität angeht. (Wäre es doch immer so!) Preis- Leistungsverhältnis wie immer bei Zultan Bronzen unübertroffen. Nu liegt`s an euch. Und bitte immer mehrere bestellen, schließlich sind handgedengelte Becken Unikate, die nie gleich klingen.

Nachtrag:
Inzwischen habe ich mir meinen 15er Doppeldecker aus einem 15 Zoll Zultan Q Crash sowie einem 15er Zultan Rockbeat Crash zusammengestellt und bin häppi !
