"No matter how they spin, it's going to make a sound." "I know that doesn't sound revolutionary." Well actually, since they are spinning it does sound revolutionary. Get it? Revolution? Spinning? Hyuck hyuck hyuck.

[@herotrueblue5704]

You should be arrested

[@fVNzO]

At 0:32 you can actually really see how the cymbal moves and sways quite similarly to an acoustic cymbal. It's not as pronounced of course, but it's really not bad compared to the more compact, smaller and bulkier cymbals like the traditional Rolands.

[@TredDrums]

I have the Splash 10" and 12", Crashes 14" and 16", hi hat 14", ride 18" and I love all of them.

[@65Drums]

Great set of cymbals :)

[@TredDrums]

65 Drums Thanks Justin! Your channel is awesome, man!

[@ledgy69]

What kit do you have mate,?

[@TredDrums]

@@ledgy69 Hey Ledgy, I have the ATV adrums kit with Pearl Mimic Pro module. You can check in my channel if you want! Regards,

[@electronicdrums2817]

I like the atv cymbals

[@65Drums]

Me too

[@electronicdrums2817]

65 drums it looks like it feels nice playing on them

[@Chriskasady]

I have the ATV Expanded kit, with the ATV 17' China cymbal... And I love them! They're really nice to play on. I highly recommend!!

[@Drumming-Life]

I recently got onboard with Jobeky triggers as I created an acoustic/electronic conversion kit. They’re incredible. Just so happens that I’ve been looking for an alternative to Roland cymbals. Seems like ATV will fit the bill perfectly.

[@cleverdood]

It’ll be interesting to see how the new Alesia hats compare to the ATV hats. I am leaning towards getting the ATV ones to replace my Strike Pro hats. My SP hats didnt seem to suffer from the problems most people have had until a few weeks ago when the edge sensor stopped working. I’ve had the kit for just over two years.

[@pinheadlarry1019]

A good rubber cymbal cleaner is tire wax (if you're also a car guy like me, you'll probably have it), just don't let it on the underside of the cymbal where the electronics are.

[@MOTORHEADGASKET]

I like spraying silicon spray. Makes them shine for a while.

[@davefiano4172]

👍🏻 I think the 360 triggering is the bomb. Not optional imho.

[@OthonasDrums]

great vid! I am hoping to eventually have a full set of ATV cymbals for my kit

[@maverick657]

great review Justin, thanks! I agree on the 17 China being more difficult to play. The rest of them are just perfect, no regrets on the investment I made!! I play the 14 HiHat, 14 and 16 Crash and 18 Ride with an Pearl Mimic Pro on an former Acustic Drum Set (Pearl Maple Decade) converted to E - Drums. I had to adjust the 18 Ride to more sensitivity as well, however I heard that ATV specific pre-sets in the Mimic are currently being developed. Let‘s see, if so, the ATV‘s will even sound better in the future 😉

[@steevidrums]

I feel Pintech have a great opportunity to take a larger chunk of the third party e-cymbal line. I personally love the look of the Visulite series, but having owned a few, I got some criticisms. Firstly the playing surface is a soft neoprene, not only is this a very unnatural feeling playing surface (more so than rubber) the deadening effect of such a soft material must affect the triggering. So, I think a harder rubber playing surface would be much better. Even a clear soft plastic sheet, as that would also lend to a better aesthetic look. Secondly, they should adopt a switch on the bell for their 3zone rides. Thirdly, they're a bit pricey, but I would accept that if they triggered excellently.

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

Using my atv ride with a roland td-9 module,all i did for settings was set it as a cy-15 and maxed the sensitivity to 32 and that seems to work very well.

[@chezchezchezchez]

WOW! I have a TD-9...looking at ATV ride

[@JasonCastellanos]

demonocus metalocus true! It’s amazing how easy was.. I’m struggling with the hit hat same artist 14”.. could you help me bro?

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

UPDATE: 1 year later the bell zone stopped working and i don't even use the bell zone that much so i'm back to using my 11 year old cy-15 that still works perfectly , done with atv and don't recommend getting them. Overpriced and poor quality. Stick with roland ,its still overpriced but it lasts for years and years and triggers better too.

My first thought when reading this was "bad joke" but really... you broke the news to me.

[@thefatgiraffe2744]

jullezs wow that’s sad

[@hobofraggins7986]

I recently got me the ATV FX cymbal and splash cymbal. I’m enjoying the FX cymbal more than the splash. The splash seems quieter than what it should when triggered.

[@JCReyesJCRACING]

Surely my next upgrade!

[@gostbatsohg]

very decent cymbals

[@LouisAdamsDiaz]

Would you take the Roland cy-14c-t and the cy-16r-t over these ?

[@EricFDrums]

Really helpful vid as I'm thinking of getting ATV hats and potentially a crash. Thx for posting this.

[@johndef5075]

I have a hi-hat clutch by Mapex with rubber washers instead of felt. It seems to keep hi-hat from spinning as much.

[@astronaut2005drummer]

Great video Justin! Those cymbals are very cool! Happy New Year of 2020

[@65Drums]

Happy new year to you too :)

[@alimationsro6006]

Love that China ! Great video btw

[@65Drums]

Thanks!

[@rosspeterson2658]

New to this stuff! so with thee different zones could you have a regular ride cymbal sound for the main portion of the cymbal then have a "ting" when hitting the top/cone of the cymbal?

[@MOTORHEADGASKET]

Yes that is exactly what happens

[@rosspeterson2658]

Jean-Daniel Dumas awesome! Thnx

[@Edrumcenter]

Good video love the ATV cymbals!

[@TigerLima1]

Hi Justin. I need a tip. I think buy a ATV China, the AD-CH17 and have a Roland TD30. My ask , the ATV cymbals work fine in TD30 module? It's neccessary some special adjustements? Tks

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Great review! I agree about the variety in aesthetics - it's nice to have choice and aspects that make some products different to others!

[@65Drums]

Thanks for watching :D

[@mattladg]

Hey! Cool vid I really like the effect one :D Also it's not in the subject of cymbals, but I saw that brand named x-drum that made some drums but, there's one : the dd-670 that looks really good, and for 950€.... Is this a good offer or not ?

[@C0zyDunt]

Seeing as these cymbals can spin, doesn't the cable get all wrapped up around the stand. Putting stress and stretching the cable?

[@65Drums]

You can just un-spin it every other day or somthing. Not a big issue

[@gmoney5506]

Or every few minutes depending on how you play ;)

[@JesusLordOfLords455]

I havnt noticed any spin on mine.

[@terrykaracostas6631]

You have a ATV drum set now

[@simonepezzi1346]

Hi Justin, do you have any suggestion to set up the atv hi hat on the Alesis Strike module?

[@biekanez1]

Great review Justin. As you probably know I do have an ATV Hihat as well. I think the nuances between open and close are far more less than the nuances of the Roland VH12/13. I don't have problems with spinning of the top Hihat at all because of the cable connection inside, it provides the top from spinning. I do hate the power supply of the Hihat, I forget many times to switch the power of.😎Thank you for sharing Justin 😎👍👊🍻

[@JasonCastellanos]

Rob Nienhuis wich module you have bro?? I’m Having the hardest time to setup him! Thanks

[@billbrandt1106]

BUT 1) Where can you buy them? 2) Will they work with an old Yamaha DTXtreme IIs module?

[@franklentz4727]

Love all of mine...

[@yanivbalas1]

THENKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lucasbeier]

I have a TD-17 module and I'm searching to upgrade my ride. I don't have a lot of space, so I bought the ATV Artist 12" to use as ride. The thing is: I'm not convinced it worth 240 EUR, which was a big stretch for me. I'm considering returning it and buying a CY-13R, which I found used by 120 EUR. How do you compare ATV Artist 12" with the CY-13R?

[@dm12394]

Are you going to do a video on the alesis strike pro se?

[@65Drums]

Yes hopefuly in about two weeks, we'll see.

[@exci6198]

For some reason I've never seen the 17" FX cymbal sold in any European store.

[@exci6198]

@Dennis Sauer Nope. They never even had them listed on their store, to my knowledge. Very weird.

[@steph3571]

I think this is the only one they don't have in store. I don't know why

[@imitableshelfshelf8512]

I wonder if ATV will ever make metal cymbals. I’d like to see what they could do with it.

[@65Drums]

It would be interesting, lots of competition though with Field, Jobeky, Diamond, Stealth Drums, Pintech, and more all making them

[@jonboydelivers1097]

What’s your take on pintech cymbals?

[@Georgeggg82]

Hi Justin. I still don’t get it. I found the atv cymbals online, the 10 and 12 inch are described as 2-zone and the 14,16,18 as 3-zone while all five of them have two inputs (cup and edge). At the same time , you said that we can use any cymbal either as a ride or crash. I’d guess we can only use the 3-zone ones as ride cymbals, but again, why do all of them have two inputs? It’s so confusing! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@matthewmore6893]

Justin does the basic standard from drum tec have 3 zone triggering? 12, 14, 16 atv from drum tec

[@CanadianTexaninLiguria]

Where is there some info on these?

[@chriscirullo161]

Anyone use like Armor All or some kind of tire shine one your ecymbals to give em a glossy look?

[@johndef5075]

303 protectant.

[@JasonCastellanos]

Hey buddy! I’m big fan of this channel. It’s really informative and cool!! I got this series atv cymbals 14” - 16” - 18” the crash and the ride I got the setup at 95% and I’m ok with it, but the hats feels like when you are starting elementary school and don’t know where the hell are you.. I have a td11, but planning on upgrade to a td 17 or maybe a new td25... will it work better on open/close action on those modules?? Thanks

[@borrago]

The holey one makes no sense. The point of holes on a cymbal is to change the sound. A electronic cymbal makes whatever sound you tel it. Yesterday I made a 12" pad sound like a 30" china. All adding holes to an e cymbal would do is take away areas that you could hit.

[@G.SpotFPV]

hello, Does the atv hihat could work fine with a td-12 module please?

[@65Drums]

Yeah it should work fine

[@jean-marie4818]

ATV hi-hats are much, much better than the VH13 or VH12. I've been playing with each of them on TD30, TD50 and TD50X, and no matter how you set them, ATV 14" wins, and it's always totally obvious.

[@fuchsia5899]

Justin you know that there is now a Roland td27

[@65Drums]

Yup check out my newest video on it :)

[@electronicdrums2817]

Mostly because one their cymbals is big

[@65Drums]

You would think more electronic drum companies would make big rubber cymbals, but it's really rare for some stupid reason.

[@Hannadannis]

65 Drums fax bruh. I’ve been trying to find big e cymbals at sam ash

[@annesobutez2532]

Bolo,es posible traducir tus vídeos en Epañol,Spanis ,gracias.

How do you record your drums? I know you have made videos but has it changed? I started with the irig like you recommended but am now using addictive drummer as it sounds so good

[@65Drums]

I stopped using iRig a long time ago. Now I either use Superior Drummer 3, or 2 XLRs into a Sounds Devices Mix Pre 3 v2

[@haejoon2007]

Do you need a hi hat controller for the hi hats?

No, the is a hihat controller included. It is optical, so it has a power supply.

@@TronciMIt was kinda setup like that when I got there, I tried to get them closer but they are mounted to cymbal stands, making it difficult. But dude there are no rules on how many millimetres apart toms have to be.

[@thedrinkerofH2O]

@@gmoney5506 did you see what’s inside the cymbal yet?

[@edgarsousa6630]

I bet that 99% of edrummers like to have their drums looking like the real thing. Who wouldn't like to have a china or an effect cymbal looking like that?! This is such a business opportunity that I don't understand why other brands aren't doing this. Even if it's mono, smaller, less playing area... why isn't Alesis making it's own china ? Maybe I'm being unfair, but isn't it just a different plastic mold?

[@DouglasLippi]

I'm guessing your problem with the china is your technique. Seems like you do kind of a "tick tock" motion when doing quarter notes on the cymbal. Kind of like a down stroke on the 1 and 3 and kind of an up stroke on the 2 and 4. I'm not saying this is bad. Just might be why you're getting different sounds. Try down strokes on each and see if that helps.
