Great sounding ride!
I'm playing drums (jazz) for more that 35 years. During all those years it was an ongoing mission to find the right sounding cymbals. Through the years I've tried some different brands. I never was very happy with the sound of my acquired Ziljian cymbals so back in the nineties I came across the Mel Lewis Signature series from Istanbul and I've played them since then. Those were very nice sounding cymbals and did the job quite nicely. However, I was still looking for something else; a more thinner cymbal to be precise since the Mel Lewis ones are rather thick.
While doing my search I came across the Zultan brand and especially the Caz Series. I've found out that this production line was thinner than the average cymbals and that was awakening my interest. At first, I was more than a little skeptical about the price since all my other cymbals were much more expensive. So I decided to give it a try and ordered two of the available rides: The 21 Caz sizzle ride and the 20 Caz Ride.
When i placed the 21 Caz Ride on my stand and hit it for the first time i was amazed. What a sound. Good sustain, brilliant, clear with a very nice sizzle effect. Altogether it sounded like one of those old cymbals that jazz drummers so much adore. I was deeply in love with this beauty and from now on it will be part of my setup, even at my upcoming studio date!

Heel mooie klank
Als jarenlange Zildjian K-speler wilde ik dit 'huismerk' van Thomann toch eens uitproberen. De hi-hat bekkens heb ik teruggestuurd; die konden niet op tegen de K's. Maar dit sizzle/ride bekken is werkelijk heel goed, en niet alleen maar 'tegen deze prijs'. Prachtige klank, en de klinknagels zijn eventueel makkelijk te verwijderen. Ik heb een van de twee weggehaald, waardoor de sizzle nèt iets subtieler wordt en het bekken ook als gewoon ride-bekken te gebruiken is. Door het wat dunnere materiaal zit er een mooie crash in het bekken. Ook om te zien een mooi bekken, handgehamerd. Ik speel zelf mainstream jazz en daar is dit bekken qua klank en volume perfect voor.
