This is just what the doctor prescribed😀 I have a bunch of Zildjian cymbals, A customs. Last time I was shopping cymbals I was really trying a lot of different brands. I liked the Meinl Classics line, there was some crazy sounding cymbals from the Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark series.. but ended up with another cymbal from the Zildjian. It's so hard to make a switch when Zildjian is all you need.😐
Have been using the zultan caz set for a few years and everytime i think of upgrading them by researching videos like this i can hear enough difference to justify the huge jump in price. The ride is soft enough for jazz and thin enough to eliminate the need for a second crash if give it some more oomph
Thanks, this means a lot to us. We're always working on providing the best sound possible with our in-house brands. When did you start playing the drums?
Yip, they really do. I started with a set of Zultans. And haven't felt a huge hurry to upgrade them. Instead I upgraded the drum heads of my Pearl Midtown kit, and the snare wires. Then the snare to a 5.5" Ludwig Universal Brass. Then, I'm going to add K Custom Darks, or Istanbul Agop/Sultan etc... But one by one, probably starting with a dark ride as my Christmas gift to myself. Then the hi-hats for my birthday. The space I'm living in now is too small for a much bigger kit. But it's amazing how much difference upgrading the snare makes to the perceived overall sound of the kit. Might be similar with the cymbals, in the room, but on recording the difference isn't massive between Zultan and Zildjian.
I own zildjian, even though I don't feel for the company itself, so actually I hate to say it tbh, but.. once again zildjian just sounds best, it just sounds right, you know.. like a good cymbal should sound. and that's it. Zultan is crazy value, though, just crazy good for the money.
Please help me, I'm in Vietnam, I'm about to buy a good cymbal set, so I have a question that I hope you can help answer soon: between the paiste 7, paiste 8 and paist 2002 cymbals, which one should I buy? Or forced to buy jildjian? Because although I'm passionate about playing drums, I'm still poor. I saved money for a long time to be able to afford to buy paiste 2002. I don't have enough money left even though I really like zildjian K or sabian. Thank you very much
ist da nicht ein Fehler in der Auflistung des Meinl Byzance Beckensatzes? Sieht mir doch eher nach 16" Sand Crash und 14" Vintage Hihat aus statt umgekehrt.....?!
Hi Andreas. Ich hab jetzt nochmal genau nachgesehen, Ist aber soweit alles richtig wie im Video. Es ist eine 14“ Byzance Sand Hi-Hat und ein 16“ Byzance Vintage Crash. Hier der Link zum Cymbal-Set auf der Website: www.thomann.de/de/meinl_byzance_thomann_edition_set.htm //Simon

2:44 that fill is so nice
Honestly those Zultan cymbals are insane value. They sound surprisingly similar to the K custom dark and at 1/3 the price

Meinl ones sound amazing

It's all about finding the cymbals that work best for you - it's always a question of personal taste, ain't it?
@@ThomannsDrumBash of course it is, and I'm obviously speaking only for myself )
I bought the Mike Johnston Meinl cymbal pack, love it and paid a great price for it too
Klasse getrommelt, muss auch mal gesagt werden!
What's with the talk about the cymbals? What snare do you use? It sounds amazing!!
the meinl hi hat is amazing
The was a great demonstration.
Thanks for this video 👍

I really like the Meinel dry cymbals
what is the drumset your playing on? It sounds and looks very pretty.
Yeah, here Zildjian sound the most interesting. But K Dark hi-hat sounds too moody imho
the zultan ride is very good for rock
very good and defined cymbal yes, love the tone
Meinl all day every day!
