Love at first sight
Zultan's Q Series is a range of medium-weight, hand-hammered Turkish cymbals made of B20 bronze, which are striking because of their unusual appearance. The different surface treatments are not only pleasing to the eye, but also have an effect on the sound. The result is a sound that can be used in many different styles, cuts through well, and at the same time has a dark, warm sonic range. The affordable Q Series is aimed at ambitious beginners and more advanced drummers, and comprises individual hi-hats, crashes, splashes, and rides, as well as pre-configured complete sets.

Opposites attract attention
While the completely lathed and high-gloss polished underside of the Q cymbals is similar to the popular Zultan Rock Beat series, the upper side is absolutely unique. The rim, which is covered with deep hammer indentations, is unlathed, as is the bell – this raw, earthy look creates a strong contrast to the high-gloss centre. The manual craftsmanship of Zultan's experienced Turkish cymbal smiths makes each cymbal really unique. The 17" crash has a very powerful, dynamic, full sound with a slightly dark character and medium sustain.
One letter – many uses
The Zultan Q cymbals are in the medium weight category and are ideal for genres such as Pop, Funk, and Blues thanks to their warm and balanced sound and their slightly reduced treble range. Their sound always blends homogeneously into their musical surroundings, leaving plenty of room for the other instruments. With its full-bodied, sustaining sound, the 17" crash is not only suitable for powerful accents, but also for crashing right through every quarter note in a high-intensity section – without ruining everyone's hearing. Thanks to its size and the bell's distinctive sound, it can even be used as a light ride cymbal when played with thinner drumsticks.

The Q Series does it all
The Zultan 17" Q Crash is an excellent choice wherever a punchy but not-too-bright crash sound is desired, be it a Blues session, Funk gig, or Pop concert. Whether it's played loud or soft, it consistently produces a pleasant, approachable sound that stays controlled, without ever being too prominent. Another possible use is in the mixed genres of acoustic and electronic music that are so popular these days, in which darker-sounding cymbals are preferred, as their profile suits the overall atmosphere better. Last but not least, all Q cymbals will also do an excellent job in the studio, as their sonic properties make them extremely microphone-friendly.
