Ben Minal | My Sabian Cymbal Setup

[@RabeaMassaad]

Yeah! Sabian is life!

[@BenMinal]

+Rabea Massaad haha you knows it

[@johnbensinger4931]

This is why sabian is the best company. You could easily use most of these cymbals in jazz or funk. They are just so versatile.

[@martonkardos8094]

Meinl Byzance cymbals are just equally versatile. Anyways I'd happily play these cymbals, they're awesome for sure, and basically, they are kind of the second best for me. Really dig their Big and Ugly line as well

[@ryc.9400]

the ozone is the one with the holes? they have a very dark sense of humor lol

[@safety_dirt]

lmao took me a second there

[@JkDubbed]

Agreed, but I wish they had dedicated Crash Rides for the rock/metal drummer though :/

[@GorcStew]

[@sfmvlogs4802]

love the animals as leaders

[@BenMinal]

Yeah dude!

[@drumstickerphil]

Ohhh yeahhh I'm liking the sound of your Ozone Stack! It makes me think, I should do a video for my kit, cool idea Ben!

[@DanielRalph56]

Ben on literally every cymbal: "I love it"

[@singthelongswansong]

I'm happy to see you started the video on the Groove Ride. It is a beautiful cymbal. Plenty of wash, a great stick feel with great sustain. I like to blend the sustain and low tones of HHXs/Ks with super bright like A's and 2002s...........Check out the 13" David Garibaldi Jam Master hi-hats. Like the groove ride, many drummers brush off this cymbal because it has an unusual timbre and some interesting overtones. They may not be your primary hi-hat cymbal, but I'd guarantee you'll find happiness when you play them. I compare it's sound to 13" Paiste Visions(the black cymbals), the Visions were far more "extreme" in terms of everything you could use to define a cymbal. ------ They're a more interesting version of the old 13" "evolution" hats, with a harder stick.

[@XeRo333]

Really dig your setup and that you're an open handed player! I try to play both crossed and open handed🤘🏼

[@chrissollie7126]

Great video, I like you also give a little bit of an explanation on each cymbal and a little demonstration. Love you and Dorje! (:

[@chicolove8098]

Crazy setup

[@ianrosales4390]

Nice set up ben. More power to you.

[@gpagliuca13]

Ben... i like your set... congratulations!!!!

[@N3TSY]

love the content ben keep it up!!

[@CurtyPurty57]

Different kinds of stacking ideas!!

[@markgilson7404]

great video Ben, I'm a guitarist but I love great drumming, the foundation to build a track around. I use ezdrummer in my recording process and it would be awesome to get some tips on achieving your sound with that, the clarity of all the kit even when your thrashing it out... cheers

[@BenMinal]

+Mark Gilson I'd like to put a whole series together on recording and mixing drums, won't be for a while but I'll make it happen!

[@markgilson7404]

Ben Minal I wait patiently for that...

[@manderson9289]

Yea man.

[@CameronBartholomew]

I don't know about those 15" hats.... kind of dark, dry and low-pitched. I prefer some of your older videos where you were plugging the HHX Evolutions.... more articulate and shimmery, with a perfect sizzling wash. That seemed a better match for your sound, at least to my ear. But hey, you're not me. Ha ha

[@FanaticDrummer]

I recommend a 20" HHX Xtreme crash, or Legacy Ozone Ride. I think you'd love them. Theres a 22" xtreme crash out there to. I bought both of those 20's and never like large crashes but man they are epic.

[@CharlieLord]

Yeah, I'm looking to swap out my 20" AAX to one of these. Everything has gotten darker so it doesn't really fit any more...

[@marcusking8507]

I'm getting the 20" HH X-Plosion coming through the post this week. Dark cymbals ftw!

[@marniewalinga]

Dude, youre killing your ears! Pleas go wear hearingprotection :O

[@isaacvandoren4733]

What snare are you using? great video!

[@MrMetalCreature]

Do you own only one shirt Ben?

[@djbministry]
