Zultan 'Rock Beat' Cymbals Review

[@RabeaMassaad]

These sound good. I like the ride, the hats and the trash sound nice on the mics. Beards looking Chubb too.

[@danieladamczyk08]

For those freaking out about the Sabian endorsement, this is just a 1 video demo of a cymbal pack. It's not like he's permanently switching. Ben probably already contacted Sabian and thomaan before making this video to make sure everything was good.

[@soundsbylatch]

I own these myself and it's nice to finally see a proper review of them :D

[@drumpuppy2000]

Hoppeii as an owner of the 16 and 18 inch crash and the 10 inch splash I can say that they certainly do. They get very nasty looking very fast tho. There's not much of a protective coating on there like you get with the big brand cymbals, but big brand cymbals at this price dont even come close to this sound

[@joaquinodriozola4963]

Yaro Christiaans thats some good info.

[@lildumbdrum1900]

The trash stack was immense😍

[@vicdeceptor7223]

Really nice cymbals for the money. Is there any possibility of you reviewing the RAW series?

[@thomasgillard263]

Man the whole kit here is tuned to perfection 🔥 🔥

[@fataliidotnet]

Great to see you reviewing these! I got a ton of Zultans on my huge edrum kit with acoustic cymbals. Been usng all the major cymbal brands for 30 years. These have the best price-quality ratio of any cymbals I´ve tried. Love them. Ideal for recording! Thanks Ben!

[@ivandelvalle2784]

Men the zultans.... The sound is brighter than my future

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Great to see you again, Ben. Happy new year!

[@dorianclini]

Saw the title, the image of new cymbals and your face and got like "Ohhhh yesss" :D

[@HLDrums]

Glad to see you do more reviews 👌

[@sfsf5555]

they sound amazing

[@georgebaggy]

Really love how sleek and unobtrusive the branding is. The cymbals really shine visually.

[@TheRealSandman]

Awesome video Ben! I've never heard of these cymbals before, but I'm going to go & check them out more! Everything sounds great!

[@machtin2222]

I bought the whole set 2 weeks ago plus the 12" splash and the 20" china. They sound absolutely amazing for the price. I Played the meinl classics custom series before and for me personally the zultans sound way better and they are about 25% cheaper.

[@kevinturvey8213]

absolutely superb sounds for the money - you can't go wrong with these

[@DrumTeacherManila]

is this a One-Mic set up? what mic are you using? great review btw :-)

[@benediktsturm4387]

it's two mics. There is also one straight from the top facing the snare. And they look like AKG C214, but i'm not sure :)

[@ricardodelsilva3891]

Were Sabian okay with you reviewing cymbals that aren't theirs? I thought a part of endorsement was that you could only use the company's products

[@peterjsmcleod3341]

Ricardo Cojones Companies aren’t that controlling or bothered really. He’s reviewing on behalf of Thomman, nothing wrong with that!

[@ricardodelsilva3891]

Maybe, I just thought it was a clause in the contracts when drummers get endorsements. Maybe it's different for different companies.

[@peterjsmcleod3341]

Ricardo Cojones It wouldn’t be an enjoyable relationship if you were confined and not even allowed try or review other products on behalf of another company. That’s just my view.

[@ricardodelsilva3891]

I don't disagree with you. I have no doubt that it must sometimes be confining and restricting. But if you look at endorsements as a business deal, then it makes sense that a part of that deal would be to only review or use the products of the company that is supporting you. Also, I know some drummers endorsed by relatively small drum/cymbal companies, and in their contracts they were told that they could only be seen as using their products. That's why I assumed Sabian did the same practice. Maybe I was wrong.

[@ricardodelsilva3891]

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory. Artists endorsed by the same company will meet at these different conventions (like how JP Bouvet, Mike Johnston and Matt Halpern all met at the Meinl Drum Festival), but sometimes drummers are friends before they become endorsed, and they will suggest to their friends to join a particular company.

[@cambrowndrums]

HOLY SHIT that China is the exact sound I’m looking for thank god these exist I’m gonna buy one once I’m upgrading from my AA holy china

[@NikkeK]

zultan cymbals are just awesome! Love 'em :)

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Huh... These might be one of the best sounding budget lines I've heard.

[@matthewgonano636]

They are

[@markomarkovic5729]

Great review Ben! These are great in this price point IF you like that sound. Btw, what is that snare? Sounds amazing!

[@Miniontaart]

Hi Ben, awesome review! You earned a subscriber today but I'm actually quite curious what you think of the durability of these cymbals. I'm quite a heavy-hitter myself and although I would love to invest in some good Zultan's, I'm kind of scared to break them easily. What are your thoughts on this?

[@angelrgdrums]

I bought the rock beat profi set around 1 and 1/2 years and broke all of them by now except the hihat bottom lol. Maybe I just suck anyways but theres me

[@Jeremy_Sims]

Basolli The F5 series from Zultan would be a little better for you if you’re more of a heavy hitter and you still want brightness check their website for sure

[@georgiosgeorgopoulos5619]

Your drums sounds amazing you've got the best sound of these cymbals so far. though it seems that you 've done some sound mixing.it sounds great my favorites of zultan cymbals are the CS and Z series

[@the6ig6adwolf]

That stack is vicious!

[@BoyAditya]

Awsome video as always. Hope you'll do all the zultan series. Kinda like the raw series look. Please make the video!

[@ronniek7748]

Great sounding cymbals. Nice drum sound too 👍

[@marnixw8724]

haha those first Hi-hat hits got me, these sound like the epilogue to a massive breakdown. they sound sick though. Do you have experience with others in their line up? Like the dark matter and the Q series?

[@mrjaydlyon]

Love your groove Ben!

[@SquirrelNuggets]

I've been playing Sabian B8s since I started drumming when I was 12 (almost 10 years). I've had the same hats and ride, I've been through a few crashes. These sound really good for the money so I might make the switch pretty soon here. Thanks tax refund :D

[@ExploreExperience]

I use a 16" zultan raw china and it sounds brilliant!

[@matthewgonano636]

I just got these. And wow they sound great. Remind me of aax and zildjian a custom but better. Its like thier sound is in between. They are alot darker than this video. I like them because a customs sound too clangy and splashy for me. A little darker and complez like AAX

[@georgiosgeorgopoulos5619]

your bierd is awesome.i liked it more on the close shots

[@adamalexanderray]

They sound good! I don’t like the 16” too much, I feel that a 16” needs to be medium thin or thin to lower the pitch as heavy 16” crash cymbals are way too bright. Great review 😘

[@hannes1734]

They're actually not that heavy, i'd say medium to med thin. Even the ride sounds very full and can be crashed, too

[@drummerbraves]

I like them. I notice that they look thinner for what rock cymbals are like which are heavier in weight such as the Z Customs and the Sabian Rock series of cymbals.

[@joaquinodriozola4963]

Sick playing man!

[@Austenio]

That stack sounds great

[@boneys3607]

thank you!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Are these like the zildjian A customs qua sound?

[@Kombi-1]

They kind of remind me to some older avedis cymbals!

[@username6265]

Amazing review! Thank you so much for making this video! Ik still thinking to buy the Zultan Rock beat +18'' crash set, ór the Masterwork Troy ( 14hh, 16cr and 20 ride ) Anyone maybe some tips? Thank you in advance

[@vinillawrance253]

Nice cymbals 👏👏🤘

[@LukeBass1000]

Is this beginner cymbal pack territory? Coz if so they sound GREAT

[@trickster33able]

LukeBass1000 nope, this is professional

[@RaymondLugo]

Between these and the Wuhan new traditionals, which one you guys think sounds better? I'm almost decided to go with the Wuhans. I know these and the Wuhans are budget territory but I am not buying by brand but for sound. My church is actually helping me with the cost of the cymbals and I was going with the Zildjian K Custom Dark Box Set which is like $1,000+ and I almost buy them until I hear the Wuhans. Yeah, you may think that I'm absolutely CRAZY for preferring an "inferior" brand, more so if we're talking about Zildjian top-of-the-line models like the K's, but I just refuse to shed that kind of money without trying other options. I know they're not in the same sound characteristics because the K's are dark and these Zultans and also the Wuhans are bright sounding cymbals, but with the Wuhans, I heard a few people say that they're kind of in the middle like not too bright, not too dark and like I said, I just wanna try something different before shelling my hard-earned money. Maybe someone can understand me idk lol

[@sfsf5555]

are wuhans even available in europe?

[@RaymondLugo]

Clorox Bleach I wouldn't know for sure

[@Jeremy_Sims]

We’re on the same search right now 😂💯. But here’s what I’ve noticed Wuhan Cymbals have variety but less cymbal packs than Zultan, look less presentable than Zultan (presentation matters) and I’ve heard from people and from research, that they’re inconsistent so you have to play and pick the gem yourself, which really isn’t possible because Wuhans aren’t everywhere you know? And Wuhans are apart of universal percussion they went out of business.... so Wuhans are tough to come by at this moment ANY WAY. So for me and for you(because we’re both on the same search, asking the same question) I think we should pick Zultans, they have a website you can hear every cymbal they have a simple distributor to go to, it’s not hard to find or losing stock and Zultan has a dark cymbal line and diversity to my knowledge check them out man 💯.

[@LiberTBo]

Ben is the best drummer I've seen since Ringo Starr and Ginger Baker. Ben's all about intuitive drumming and ultimately he will be considered a "Modern Master".........

[@stefan8783]

What kind of micro do you have????

[@Pro1938ftc3ch]

I'm trying to look for a set of Zultan hi hats and a crash ride let me know if you do put a link

[@kevinturvey8213]

can we have a video about the "drum face" - yours is absolutely classic! talk about "stinky ride"...

[@rooluigi6852]

Where can l get it????

[@deer_meat01]

What are Zultan?

[@harrygaylordrums]

The only cymbal I like is the stack. The rest don't sound that good. For the price though I wouldn't complain.

[@willgalloway655]

Have you ever played british drum company

[@blopenshtop]

Someone who does cymbal videos with the last name minal :o

[@samgodzwa7927]

And is endorsed by Sabian 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@VertigoGTI]

@@samgodzwa7927 which was started by a Zildjan

[@matthewgonano636]

All cymbals originated in turkey. So zulatn is more OG than the big 4

[@lil_weasel219]

These seem to be the Rock Beat Profi not the Rock beat. The latter is cheaper and only includes 3 cymbals

[@artix8957]

Che modello Zultan sono?

[@theblaze5493]

sounds great for that prize, would be perfect for beginners who wanna upgrade to better sounding cymbals

[@FanaticDrummer]

Saluda are small guys but make high quality stuff. However, are you endorsed by Sabian? Depending on the level, not sure how it works promoting or demoing other cymbal companies lol

[@Andrew-hh8fu]

He looks like he’s about to cry when he plays.

[@Lucdera]

0:09 Hey dude :D

[@Kubakaiser]

They seem to be lacking a lot of body, just high end sizzle.

[@theonlyjoe_]

As I the only person who thinks these are very house?

[@markusaa8888]

first mby

[@nathandrums0]

Dude you shaved your hair! Also I thought you were strictly Sabian?

[@jna3341]

It's just a review.

[@blewettmark]

yeah mate, they look a decent budget option but the Paiste PST5 trump anything else i've heard in this price range. Paiste really know what there doing with B8

[@parthkaler291]

B20? I don't believe them. Especially when these cymbals are at this pricepoint.

[@noah._.powell]

Parth Kaler all Wuhan cymbals are B20. Agazarian makes some fairly cheap B20 cymbals as well.

[@razgriz380]

So do Istanbul agop in the xist line. All B20 but entry level price to be competitive with zildjian and sabian etc.

[@hogblockula9335]

B20 is bronze, not gold, it's not that expensive to use it for cymbals

[@razgriz380]

It's the standard measure of 'pro' level cymbals. All firms have their own signature blend and as it's the highest grade generally available it's the most sought after creating demand and higher cost. Doesn't need to be gold to be valuable. Demand drives cost.

[@danieladamczyk08]

The only reason cymbals are expensive is because of the labor put into crafting them, not the material. Cheaper b20 cymbals are made in China because labor costs are low compared to the U.S. That's How handmade b20 cymbals like Wuhans can be cheaper than handmade B8 cymbals Like Paistes.
