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 18" Crash Holey

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 18" Crash Holey, which features six large holes, provides punchy accents and possesses a large dynamic range, 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 and excellent sustain, the 18" Crash Holey can easily cut through over distorted guitars and is therefore the ideal choice for all types of Rock music and will even serve very well as a crash/ride for Grunge and Stoner Rock. 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 18" Crash Holey (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 18" Crash Holey to be the perfect addition to their existing setup.

Great alternative to the expensive big brands "crashes with holes"
z1gor 10.02.2018
I bought this crash cymbal to add it to my drum kit where i have a full set of Sabian AAX cymbals. After completing my set, the only thing missing (in my opinion), was a crash like the o-zones from Sabian, to get a different sound from a crash that you can't get in a "normal" one (i would call it, a sound between a crash and a china).

The thing is, after spending a lot of money in big brand cymbals, i decided i didn't want to spend a lot in an AAX or HHX o-zone, and i took the risk of buying this one for a third of the price of the AAX/HHX without trying it in real life.

After a year of daily use, i can tell you, the risk was 100% worth it. The crash sounds great, the volume is pretty low (not a crash for metal or something like that), it has a pretty quick response, washy sound and 1 year later it's as good as new (keep in mind, i am not an heavy hitter, only broke 2 old cymbals in 13 years of drumming).

Pros: cheap, great sound (almost as good as the big brands), B20, beautiful finish

Cons: i always try to give pros and cons in every review, but i can't find anything negative about this cymbal, it's literally a B20 high end cymbal with the price of a low end cymbal.

This Efx Crash Sound REALLY GOOD
Jerm 19.05.2019
It's an awesome Efx Crash. It Really is, there's really no cons to this Crash honestly. I purchased it because I was in extreme need of an effects crash at the moment, and figured to give Zultan a chance due to the specs, the hand hammering, b20 alloy, It was worth a shot considering what I spend with Sabian on the norm. Blew me away, curious about the rest of the Rock Beat series as well. No corners were cut on this crash. Just wish Zultan would be more specific with the weight of their cymbals (thin, medium, heavy).

O-Zone Killer

Das Zultan 18" Holey Crash habe ich mir zusammen mit dem Zultan 19" Holey Crash zugelegt. Auch für das 18er gilt: Megaschnelle Ansprache, geiler Trashsound, funktioniert von ganz leise bis richtig böse laut und vom Klang her ein gutes Stück höher als man es bei der Beckengröße erwarten würde.

Während ich das 19er gerne verwende um in Refrainpassagen einen breiten Klangteppich zu produzieren, setze ich das 18er Holey Crash ein um Akzente zu setzen. Das klappt wunderbar weil das Becken sofort "da" ist und sich auf Grund seiner Tonhöhe auch gut gegen die restlichen Bandkollegen durchsetzen kann.

Ich wüsste nicht warum man sich ein Sabian HHX O-Zone Crash kaufen sollte wenn man zu einem Bruchteil des Preises eine tolle Produktpalette aus dem Hause Zultan präsentiert bekommt!

Crash pleine. Top pour jouer dessus sur des riff
Marion Naudin 12.11.2020
Très bonne crash pour un jeu constant dessus car pas un impact énorme. Normal pour une 18" en soi !
Pour le prix elle est plus que top !
Je l'ai associé à un set Zultan Rock Beat avec Ride, Charley et crash de 16" et franchement pour un groupe de rock/metal le set et cette cymbale c'est top !
