Zultan 22" Rock Beat Heavy Ride

This ride is really heavy and thick - its hard to take it off the stand with one hand. The stick deffinition is amazing with this cymbal. It also looks great with the brilliant finish. Really suitable for metal music.
Now onto the downsides - this ride has a really promiment overtone problem due to its thickness (I have even seen someone on Youtube commenting over that). Especially when you are playing fast on it. The bell is also slightly weird - the diameter is good, but the bell sitts quite low. Im short - the bell looks something not of a ride cymbal. It sound good though (not amazing). I have slapped a moon gel on it to control the overtones - everything seems fine now, stick deffinition is even more clear now, although I have lost some of the volume (not so much however).
I really like it, however I would also consider other options, for example the F5 series (i believe it also has a heavy version ride now). Would suite anyone who is playing heavier music.

I use this 22" ride to play loud, and it works. In fact, in many of the song I play, I fully dig into the cymbal to get the fullest sound possible, the cymbal answers quite quickly with a warm, filling, loud and defined sound. Suitable for heavy music, I wouldn't recommend it for soft style. The heavy weight cymbal type will not allow you to play with low dynamic changes easily, it's doable, but tricky. Pretty good price for such a big cymbal. Very resistant.

According to my taste the cymbal is o.k. It is not a loud one. If you play it with the tip of the stick or hit it as a crash, it produces a small amount of sound. 20'' Rock Beat Medium Ride is louder than this brother cymbal. But the quality is good though, it's thickness can stand a hard controlled beating with no problem. If the bell was a bit more to my taste, I would rate it better.

...Und das im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes! Ein sehr dickes und schweres Becken, das durch Brillanz im Klang viele andere Becken teurerer Firmen aussticht.

Das Ancrashen funktioniert einwandfrei, und der einfache Ride-Hit danach setzt sich weiterhin sehr gut durch.

Ich benutze das Becken für Hard Rock, Grunge und Blues-Rock und überall passt es super. Gerade fürs Studio kommt der Klang auch ohne extra Mikrofon hervorragend zur Geltung.

Preis/Leistung stimmt hier absolut. Top!
