This Zultan 17 in Raw Crash is a seriously cool cymbal for players seeking a darker, more organic sound. It’s fantastic for jazz, neo-soul, or anyone wanting a less splashy, more controlled crash. The raw finish gives it a unique character and a surprisingly dry, woody feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a bit warmer and more controlled than some other raw crashes I’ve played; less aggressive and more focused on the fundamental.
While it's not a loud, cutting crash, the hand-hammering provides enough projection for mid-level volumes; it's more about tone than sheer volume.
Yes, the unlathed surface is more susceptible to oxidation, so regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner is recommended to maintain its appearance.
