in 13" Hi-Hat Cymbals

Classic looks, complex sound

With the Caz series, the Turkish cymbal specialist Zultan has created a collection of extremely inexpensive handcrafted cymbals made of premium B20 bronze. Their sound profile has been carefully tuned to make them ideal for Jazz, as well as other genres that tend towards the mellow. The cymbals are manufactured in Turkey using methods that have remained more or less unchanged for centuries, with a great emphasis on skilled handcraft – the simple, classic look of the cymbals is just as traditional as the workmanship itself. The Caz range includes numerous Crash, Crash/Ride, Ride, Sizzle Ride, and Hi-Hat models; two pre-configured sets are also available.

Quality craftsmanship at a competitive price

Merely mentioning handcrafted cymbals from Turkey is enough to get knowledgeable drummers and percussionists pricking up their ears. However, a look at the prices involved will often have their jaws dropping, too. This is exactly where Zultan's Caz cymbals come in: Rarely has so much musical mojo been available for so little money. Now, some of the premium models from the established brands truly are outstanding – but the Caz cymbals, which are completely hand-lathed and hammered over their entire surface, are extremely competitive contenders. The 13" hi-hat here brings a warm, earthy sound with fine treble detail and a sensitive stick response.

Jazz in Turkish

Caz is simply the Turkish word for Jazz, and it's clear that these cymbals have been designed with that very purpose in mind. Jazz drummers need light instruments that react to the gentlest touch and deliver a balanced, harmonious sound across all dynamic levels, from soft to loud. Of course, this applies not only to Jazz, but to genres like Blues, Funk, Latin, and Soul, where Caz cymbals can also be played to their strengths. As such, this 13" hi-hat can be used in a variety of ways, delivering just the right sound for each of the aforementioned genres, and responding well to rods or brushes, too.

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.

Jazz is just the beginning…

The Zultan Caz cymbals may have Jazz in their name, but can be used almost universally and are at home wherever pleasant, balanced cymbals are required – they have a warm sound spectrum without jarring frequencies. This is the case for all kinds of acoustic, unamplified music, which might include unplugged guitar sessions, but also live Salsa gigs or Gospel concerts in churches. Of course, there's nothing to stop Caz cymbals being used with amplified music too, as long as they're played sensitively and with the right tools. The 13" Caz Hi-Hat is characterised by its unobtrusive but clear and present 'chick' sound; its overall character is defined by clarity and control, even when it's being played half open.

cheap stuff - expensive sound :)

U-lick Drm 02.10.2017

In Rep. of Moldova we don't have a shop where you can try and compare new stuff so these hi-hats were my only chance to have ones at max 150 euro . I'm not a drum killer so i'm looking for a soft and pleasant sound of my kit.
Pros/cons
Before acquiring them i was thinking to sell a kidney to buy jojo's vault but my parent would kill me for that . Now i like zultan's sound more than jojo's one . They are easy to handle playing funk jazz even disco because of it's warm sound and quick "chik".
I am worrying when someone else plays them cause it looks fragile . A good metallist could break 3 pairs per gig .they looks unfinished, borders are rough so that permanently eats my sticks even hitting soft .
Conclusion : you should try them at least once, they also looks good on the stage :)

A solid mid-range hihat

Thanatorius 09.06.2025

I've been using it for a couple months now, and i have to say i was very happy with it from the start, and still am now.
It has a very crisp closed sound, very high on the frequency spectrum, which is what i prefer personally, when you pplay it open, it doesn't flop around, as some cheaper ones do, for the price, it sounds very good, can't recommend it more.

Nicht hübsch aber klingt und spielt sich richtig gut

Emmanuel A. 12.03.2021

Ich war, ehrlich gesagt, etwas enttäuscht als ich diese Becken auspackte. Sie sehen aus wie blanke Bleche. Sie sind sehr flächig abgedreht, und zwar so dass man kaum eine Rille, kein eigentliches Abdrehmuster entdecken kann. Einfach nur leicht verbeultes, unregelmässig glänzendes Blech...

Nach dem staunen kam dann das antesten und ein anschliessender grosser Seuftzer der Erleichterung, verbunden mit einem breiten Lächeln.

Diese Hi Hat klingt und spielt sich richtig gut.

Ich suchte ja etwas platzsparenderes als meine 14" New Beat, mit einem Sound im gleichen Register. Die Idee war, vor dem eventuellen Erwerb einer 13" K Hi Hat zu testen ob mir das Format 13" überhaupt gefällt ohne den Preis einer solchen bezahlen zu müssen.

Resultat: Ich brauche mir keine 13" K zu kaufen. Ich bin mit dem Zultan Caz Modell vollkommen zufrieden.
Ich werde jetzt nicht behaupten, sie klänge wie eine K, aber sie tut genau das was ich brauche.

Buena elección calidad precio

José2272 11.12.2013

La primera impresión en cuanto a aspecto, es mediocre, los acabados no son del todo buenos para lo que se podría esperar de un producto que se presupone de calidad(aleación b 20) por lo tanto se sitúa en rangos de calidad lejos de marcas generalistas (sabian, zildjian u otras turcas). Una vez puestos en faena, decir que el sonido es muy bueno, los platos no son de mucho peso y sólo llevo una semana con ellos. Pero tienen un chic muy agudo y claro, los golpes suenan precisos y son un salto cualitativo en cuanto a sonido respecto a cualquier otro plato de aleación b8 de precios mayores. En relación calidad-precio es una buena elección.
