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, chinas, 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 18" china has a dynamic, full, deep 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 sound, the 18" china is not only ideal for explosive accents, but also for crashing right through every quarter note in a high-intensity section – without damaging everyone's hearing. This makes it of particular interest for metal drummers who are looking for a china that's not just loud, but above all musical.

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.
Stage, rehearsal room, studio - the Q Series does it all
The Zultan 18" Q China is an excellent choice wherever a clear but not overly bright china 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.
