Raw look, warm sound

The cymbals in Zultan's Raw series are characterised by their raw, earthy look. The surfaces of the cymbals reveal the natural colour of the B20 bronze: The absence of a clean, polished finish is a very deliberate design decision here. All the Raw cymbals have a dark, dry response that melds perfectly with the rest of the kit – and the band – so they're perfect whenever musicians want warm, unobtrusive cymbal sounds. The cymbals are made in Turkey, the country in which the art of cymbal making is most highly developed and where cymbal smiths who have spent their lives perfecting their craft use traditional methods to create high-quality, beautifully musical instruments.

Zultan 15" Raw Jazz Hi-Hat

In tune with the music

Each cymbal in the Zultan Raw series is made from 80% copper and 20% tin – the premium B20 bronze alloy used for really high-end cymbals. Each piece is hand hammered, making every cymbal unique: Great care is taken during final tuning to ensure that the specified tonal tolerances are met. Not lathing the cymbals results, on the one hand, in their appealingly unusual look, on the other hand in a compact, slightly treble-reduced sound with a relatively short sustain. Thanks to these special acoustic characteristics, there is no risk that the cymbals of the Raw series will ever dominate the track they're played on. The lightweight 15" Raw Jazz Hi-Hat offers an immensely sensitive response and a musical sound that remains controlled even when played fully open. The typical chick sound produced when the hi-hat pedal is pressed cuts perfectly, whatever the setting.

From Jazz to Electro and back again

Drummers from the genres of Pop, Fusion, Funk, and Jazz need dynamic cymbals with a fast response that are capable of blending homogeneously into different settings. The 15“ Jazz Hi-Hat from the Raw series is perfect for the task: It can be played with sticks, rods, or brushes, and is thus also suitable for unplugged sessions. Fans of hybrid drumming, in which acoustic and electronic sounds are on an equal footing, often prefer cymbals with dry sound characteristics – one of the key features of the Raw series. As such, the 15" Raw Jazz Hi-Hat is sure to perform here as well.

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.

Mics love it Raw

The 15" Zultan Raw Jazz Hi-Hat can be used flexibly and has virtually no musical limitations, although it's probably not best suited to the very loudest styles. But thanks to this moderate volume and its balanced frequency spectrum, the Jazz Hi-Hat is actually a perfect studio cymbal, where it's best for a balanced mix if the drum mics pick up the cymbals as little as possible. Equally, even in locations with difficult acoustics, for example in halls with very high ceilings or in cold, boxy rehearsal rooms, the 15" Jazz Hi-Hat, like all of the other cymbals of the Raw series, delivers very reliable results.

dark and heavy
ztuzgg 04.08.2019
Basically, Zultans are a good budget cymbal brand and this hi-hat is no exception. These is very interesting pair of hi-hats, but be warned , they are really heavy, so although they are marketed as "jazz hihat" , they are definetely not your tipical jazz hihat. Other than that, nothing to complain.

What a great pair of cymbals
Ryzantium 04.03.2018
Took a gamble with these hi-hats as there an unknown brand to me but thomann delivered as always! great crispy open/close hi-hat sound, clear stick definition when grooving with the tip of the stick. To say there a "jazz" hi-hat would be an understatement as they work in my heavy rock band perfectly. looking forward to ordering the 21'' raw jazz ride and 22'' heritage next!

Great, dark hats for the money!
Tommy B 22.03.2018
After a search for some dark, warm 15" hihats that didn't break the bank I took a gamble on these based on the reviews.

They are amazing cymbals for 180 Euro (£160)! Lots of character, dark, woody stick definition and a good foot chick. I agree with other reviews that these are not really 'jazz' hats, they are pretty chunky when played open and can be used for louder gigs/playing.

They are not much lighter than the regular Raw hats either as far as I can tell...my jazz hats were 1100g / 1285g and I've seen the regular Raw hats listed as 1150g / 1360g.

But if you are in the market for a quality pair of dark, warm, different hihats that are kind to your wallet I'd definately recommend trying these out.
