Been using my Sweet ride mainly as a big crash, had a K crash ride before and needed replacement. The sweet ride is kinda a crash ride to be fair haha.
this intro makes me want to just walk out of work straight to my drum studio and play all day, and then the halftime hits and makes me want to walk out of work screaming like the army of the 300... I don't need money, but I do need to learn that intro, fucking siiiiiiick!
The cut on that splash in comparison is unreal, kit looks fucking stunning and sounds incredible. Going into trade my sabians tomorrow ready for my zildjian swap
I love meinl, I love how the look and the range of different cymbals. But for the fundamentals, zildjian is just unbeatable imo. That A sweet ride as a crash, unreal
I think zildjian works better for Craig’s sound. I played zildjian for years and I kind of got bored of the sound. They do sound kind of “vanilla” to me too. Switched to meinl a few years ago and I haven’t looked back
Funny thing is though, I think this crash ride sounds better anyway. Like yeah his prototype was cool but this one simultaneously has a more cutting bell and a better sounding/fuller crash.
@@1dudecrush I always said in the twitch chat this k crash/ride is THE best, way better than the meinl prototypes tbh. Glad it kinda worked out and he likes the cymbal :) Zildjian does a damn good job espescially for rock sound.
I can't listen to this song without my this is disgustingly sick face showing. Fuckin love it! that chorus part with the triplets on the feet is so hard to keep the left foot going on high hat. Looks like the beat would be easy to play but definitely hard to coordinate. Love your channel Craig! Funny as hell and badass drumming!
Mate this sounds mighty on zildjians. You might like the 9" trash splash. Been using one for about 10 years and it really cuts through heavy music nicely without being to obnoxious.
Nice! Just overhauled my entire cymbal setup for mostly acoustic duo and trio settings. All K's including a sweet crash, crash/ride, and those same Fat Hats as well. 👍
So sick my dude. New setup absolutely RIPS. Love that K crash ride. I have mine in the same place on my kit for same purpose. Used to have an A Sweet Ride in that role until I discovered the K Crash Ride. Might steal your idea though and bring the A Sweet Ride back as a primary crash :D
A/B-ing this with the drums only video you put up last year and its safe to say that the Zildjians sound fantastic and blow some of the meinl cymbals you were using in the last video out of the water.
Yo Craig’ as always I’m super stoked for u and your new endorsement’ it was the obvious choice’ I know u loved Meinl but it’s more than just about the brand it’s about family and feeling that u are part of something that gets who u are as a drummer’ if that’s not happening then it’s time to move on’ Zildjian will work on a new signature ride with u and also a splash in the very near future’ until then there is always the mega bell and sweet ride etc 💪🥁🙌🔥
Wtf i have your same set, my band says every day “ more toms, more chymbals” i think is important to use your set with the most creative ways with what u have 🫶🏻 bro u so awesome 💣
Congrats Zildjian on signing Craig Reynolds!
Brighter cymbals but still lays nice in the mix. Love that Fat hat.
This is the future that bisexuals want
Holy shit I’m bisexual 🙏🏽
Facts
Uh, yeah!?
What
Craig just may be THE bissexual of all time honestly
Bro, using a sweet ride as a crash is next level 😭🥵
Been using my Sweet ride mainly as a big crash, had a K crash ride before and needed replacement. The sweet ride is kinda a crash ride to be fair haha.
In my experience they're used as a crash more often than they're used as a ride. At least that's the case for the 21".
😂
I'm using my 23 inch as a crash 😅
too clean sounding for stray IMO, but yeah, he's an ANIMAL.
this intro makes me want to just walk out of work straight to my drum studio and play all day, and then the halftime hits and makes me want to walk out of work screaming like the army of the 300... I don't need money, but I do need to learn that intro, fucking siiiiiiick!
Those hats are crazy sweet sounding.
I had a k crash ride brilliant. Stunning cymbal. Will always be regarded my best cymbal.
I'm a simple guy. I hear a Nolly snare and I click the thumbs up.
Happy to see you slay it with Zildjian, my dude ❤
Beautiful sounding kit aaaand, beautiful backing track with that bass being loud af lol
It sounds so sick with loud bass.
The cut on that splash in comparison is unreal, kit looks fucking stunning and sounds incredible. Going into trade my sabians tomorrow ready for my zildjian swap
Sabian>Zil don't be silly 😂
Can’t wait to see you sit in with Ghost Note on Zildjian Live!!!!
I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS!!!!!! would be amazing!
@@DulceDul217 if Ghost Note ever had a metal drummer sit in I vote Craig forever.
@@taurus4205 the one with Matt Greiner is pretty wild
I love meinl, I love how the look and the range of different cymbals. But for the fundamentals, zildjian is just unbeatable imo. That A sweet ride as a crash, unreal
K ride has a SICK bell too, for how well it crashes
Agreed. Zildjian make great cymbals but always seemed a bit “vanilla” compared to Meinl (in my opinion).
@@adamalexanderraya’s and a customs are absolutely vanilla. All the other series are kinda untouchable though
@@drummachine5787 yeah, as I said they make great cymbals. The K Light Rides and K Dark Thin Crashes are particularly great to my ear.
I think zildjian works better for Craig’s sound. I played zildjian for years and I kind of got bored of the sound. They do sound kind of “vanilla” to me too. Switched to meinl a few years ago and I haven’t looked back
Splash of death!!!
The difference alone with this song especially the splash cymbal really says it all. You look and sound even better w Zildjian ❤
Its especially the splash sound I dislike, but to everyone his own I guess haha
Bummed your ride isn't coming out that shit sounded insane but I'm buzzing you're happy. Peace and love ❤️

@@1dudecrush yep

The ride is dancing

Zildjians sound incredible as always
In Craigs squeeky voice, "It sounds so much better now with the Zildjian cymbals." In Craigs normal voice, "Oh fuck off it's always sounded good."
[incoherent internet gremlin noises]
2:55 All rise for the 19" A Zildjian Ultra Hammered China
Man, I think this was an upgrade on those cymbals…congrats and keep slayin 🤘
Nice Ride choice. Been playing 21 A Sweet Ride for years. Congrats on joining Zildjian
Man I was deadass thinking “it be cool af if he was with Zildjan” awesome choice mate!
ALL symbols, hi hats sound crisp & beautiful sounding, the music killer fuckin tone really fuckin heavy head bangin along
i want instrumentals of all their songs now
Great drumming mate.. all those elaments ..sounds the goods :)
Mate this sounds mighty on zildjians. You might like the 9" trash splash. Been using one for about 10 years and it really cuts through heavy music nicely without being to obnoxious.
Would love to see a lesson/breakdown of the 'Guillotine' intro some time!
Nice! Just overhauled my entire cymbal setup for mostly acoustic duo and trio settings. All K's including a sweet crash, crash/ride, and those same Fat Hats as well. 👍

Smart move going to zildjian
Tight as 2 coats of paint, ur the man x
look at him, so happy with his new cymbals! Well deserved
cymbals sound killer, whole kit sounds fuckin gigantic, great playing, cool song!
Stoked over the playing. Super motivating.
Thanks.
Yes Craig you beast!!
A/B-ing this with the drums only video you put up last year and its safe to say that the Zildjians sound fantastic and blow some of the meinl cymbals you were using in the last video out of the water.
2:56 By law you have to stand up
Can we please talk about the sound? Adam is the man!
He's standing up, I think that means he likes the new plates 💪
That A crash on the right is immaculate
Time for a new rug too! Cymbals sound great.
Shikari podcast? Let's gooo
Cymbals sound incredible!
Tasty texture variation!!
Well played
it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes
I had a feeling you'd go with the Zildjian's! Stoked for you holmes.
Happy seeing you happy man. Killing it! 👑

Those Zildjians seriously cut through 👌🏻
Bad ass tune

Always love hearing the studio versions!
Sounds is unreal.
I must say tho stick tricks aside that intro is just 🤌🏻
The Ultra Hammered China is so goated. Best China hands down.
Love it, always been big fan of Zildjian. They need to send you a new rug though!
Sick playing, sick setup, sick cymbals, sick song!
Zildjian make the best cymbals anyway, period.
Can’t wait to see you guy’s playing in Melbourne 💯💪🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Congrats on the Zildjian endorsement G!
ziljians sound... fine. pretty surreal seeing them on screen.
Yes! You did the standing best part
Now that you’re with Z, you should get your hands on the K Light Ride that Chris Allison was using, wink wink 🔥
As a Meinl player: This setup fits your music WAY better than your old setup. Bit arrogant, maybe, but that's what I hear. :D
Brutal!
Sounding absolutely sick!
I can’t ❤ this enough
So sick I remember watching this live in ct. you guys killed 🤘
So satisfying 😍
excellent!!!!
daaaaaamn
snare sounds unreal good
Zildjian 🤘
