Extravagant patina

The versatile cymbals of Zultan's Dark Matter series are manually shaped in Turkish production by the hammers of experienced cymbal smiths. Cast by hand from a high-quality B20 alloy, the cymbals owe their extraordinary appearance to an elaborate surface treatment in which the cymbals are immersed in a special liquid and afterwards polished with added bronze fragments. In addition to the Dark Matter Professional Cymbal Set, many other individual cymbals are available as part of the Dark Matter series.

Universal and explosive

"Dark" not only describes the look, but also the sonic character of this series. The combination of some respectable explosiveness and a good helping of clarity creates a universally applicable sound which, together with the appealing look, underlines the craftsmanship of the cymbal series. As each cymbal is handmade and therefore unique, minimal sound variations among several cymbals of the same type are completely normal. The Dark Matter Professional Set consists of a 14" hi-hat, a 16" and 18" crash, and a 20" ride. In addition, the set comes with a matching cymbal bag.

Convincing sound at fair prices

Thanks to their unbeatable price-performance ratio, clean workmanship, and good sound, the cymbals of the Dark Matter series are interesting for ambitious beginners as well as for professionals who want to supplement their existing set with convincingly handcrafted cymbals. The cymbals included in the set are testament to high quality due to their high degree of aesthetics and high sound quality, and, thanks to their diversity, are suitable for many different styles such as Rock, Pop, Urban, and Funk.

THESE ARE GREAT
Tom Corlett 21.08.2023
I bought these as my first cymbal set (im 14), and they are great and sound awesome. The 20 inch ride is my favourite and the Hi Hats are great too, I love the sets washy sound with great tone. All this, and they also look FANTASTIC! The photos look a bit brown, but in reality they have a great blue finish with brown underneath, they kind of look color case hardened! Great product, I strongly reccomend

A set with a surprise
LioB 12.11.2021
Everything is good with these cymbals.
The ride has a really cool sustain (and the other cymbals too)
The quality versus the price of this kit is really great.
The black finish looks great also.
Plus, you get a 10'' splash with it ;).

Wie geil ist das denn?
Annerspezi 29.11.2017
Ich möchte mein Fazit direkt vorwegnehmen. Diese handgehämmerten Becken klingen einfach nur fantastisch und haben eine sehr exklusive Optik!

Ich habe bislang gute Erfahrungen mit B20 Becken gemacht. Bislang waren es mal die Masterwork (Troy-Serie), die Zultan Aja oder Rockbeat Becken. Sicher ist das Geschmackssache, denn was diese Becken alle gemein haben ist der recht dunkle Grundton.

Auch hier machen die Becken der Darkmatter-Serie keinen Unterschied. Allerdings im Vergleich zu den Troy Becken lösen diese den Klang weitaus klarer auf. Es ist wirklich ungewöhnlich, wie viel Klangfülle die Becken bereits beim leichten Anspielen entwickeln. Spielt man mit etwas mehr Kraft überdrehen sie allerdings nicht, sondern bleiben immer kraftvoll und akzentuiert. Sie sind vom Gewicht nicht zu leicht, um sie als "thins" krumm zu schlagen aber auch nicht so "heavy", dass die Stöcke an ihnen abbrechen. Für Rock, Alternative und Metal jedenfalls absolut sehr gut einzusetzen. Die Verarbeitung ist 1a und es gibt (bei meinem Set) optisch und technisch nichts zu bemängeln.

Das 16" Crash spricht schnell an, aber bleibt im heftigeren Dauereinsatz extrem klar und verliert nicht an Klang - ein großer Unterschied zu den Troy und auch anderen Serien von Zultan.
Das 18" ist toll und als Groove-Becken großartig einzusetzen. Es legt den gewünschten Klangteppich, ohne zu sehr zu verschwimmen.
Das 20" Ride besticht durch einen klaren Ping und kann aber wie ein Crash-Ride blitzschnell aufwallen, was für meinen Geschmack genau richtig ist. Die Bell ist laut und nicht zu überhören - super!
Die 14" Hihat klingt schön rau und trashig, wenn man sie halb offen spielt. Kommt aber geschlossen ganz knackig und hell rüber.

Für mich überragend und verglichen mit z.B. den Meinl Classic Customs um längen besser in der Klangfülle!

Zuletzt die Optik. Ich habe ein mattes dunkles Shellset und diese Becken sehen einfach so gut dazu aus. Vor allem aber stechen sie aus der Menge von Brillant Finish oder den ganzen kiloschweren Stahltellern in Raw-Optik mehr als positiv heraus.

Absolute Kaufempfehlung. Und für den Preis fast schon schon dreimal!
