Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Zultan Q Crash is a really interesting cymbal. The combination of the polished center and raw outer ring creates a really nuanced sound – dark and full, but with a surprising amount of dynamic range. It's ideal for drummers seeking a more sophisticated, less aggressive crash for genres like jazz, fusion, or even softer rock styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably darker and more complex than many entry-level B20 crashes, offering a more mature and nuanced tone profile.
Yes, the unlathed areas will tarnish faster than a fully lathed cymbal; regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner is recommended to maintain its appearance and tone.
While versatile, its darker character might get lost in a very bright, aggressive kit; it’s best suited for balanced or darker-toned setups.
