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.

Zultan Rock Beat 08" Splash

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 08" Splash provides punchy accents, while its dazzling finish makes it look pretty damn good at the same time.

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 bright and full-bodied sound, the 08" Splash can easily cut through in a louder musical context and is therefore the ideal choice for all types of Rock music. Thanks to its sensitive response, however, it already develops its full potential in the middle dynamic range and is thus 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 08" Splash (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 08" Splash to be the perfect addition to their existing setup.

Absolute bargain!!
RyanB92 15.01.2023
Got this thinking it would make a good temporary replacement when my old Orion 8" splash finally cracked. However I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this splash!!

A significantly deeper fundamental tone than my Orion splash but nicely bright in overtones, so it's quite rich and lively without being tinny. It also doesn't possess much of a chinese or bell-like sound I've heard in some splashes, which aren't bad sounds per se, but not what I'm looking for in a regular splash.

I have the 17" crash from this series and I feel it's tone has a slightly mellow edge and isn't quite as suited to VERY heavy music. This splash to my ears however, has an overall more bouncy and crisper sound which lends itself better to heavy music, although it may need an additional mic because it isn't the loudest of splashes and 8 inchers tend to be quiet-ish anyway.

In my opinion, it's a pretty good all-rounder splash, great for adding flair to fills and playing beats on, plus it's nice and shiny and an absolute steal!!

I removed a star for quality because the central hole in the cymbal I received wasn't perfectly circular. It can be felt when running your finger around it, but it isnt sharp and It's only visible on close inspection. Considering the price/performance ratio, I can live with a small invisible defect like that and the sound is still great regardless!

Great sound / quality / price

The sound of this little guy is great. It's a warm sound and not too loud but it's still there, even on a noisy stage. I use this for studio recordings and live performance and had a lot of compliments on it's sound. Zultan is one of my favourite cymbal brand because of there quality and price with a great sound. Would recommend this to everyone!!

Inaspettata ma piacevole morbidezza
Anonymous 16.10.2016
Tra i tre splash di questa serie, a disposizione da thomann, è quello che preferisco. Ci si aspetta un suono massimamente esplosivo, squillante, ma in realtà ha una lieve morbidezza che lo rende un piatto molto versatile. L'ho montato con un clutch sopra gli hi hat: il peso è assolutamente ininfluente con il meccanismo a molla della meccanica degli hi hat. La qualità costruttiva e sonora è professionale. Di fatto è un "turkish", rimarchiato "zultan" per thomann.

In Ordnung, aber nicht großartig
GetTheHorns 28.05.2018
Ich habe mir das Rock Beat Splash besorgt, um ein Splash-Becken zum Üben zu haben. Wenn man sich die Preise selbst von den kleineren Becken bei den namhaften Herstellern anschaut, wird einem schnell schwindelig. Daher war der niedrige Preis das ausschlaggebende Kriterium, zum Rock Beat Splash zu greifen. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich auch ein 16er Rock Beat Crash von Zultan habe, zu dem das Splash gut passt.
Es folgt die Standard-Erkenntnis, dass ein Becken dieser Preisklasse nicht mit teureren Modellen mithalten kann. Geschrieben wurde das sicher schon oft, es muss aber nochmal betont werden. Betrachtet man allerdings den erheblichen Preisunterschied, schlägt sich das Rock Beat wirklich gut. Ich benutze es wie gesagt nur im Proberaum, kann also nichts zur Live-Tauglichkeit des Beckens sagen.
Das Rock Beat Splash ist sicher eine gute Wahl für alle, die nicht so viel Geld für ein zusätzliches Becken ausgeben können oder wollen.
