This video sold me on the Koi cymbals. I was on the fence but I have no regrets on my purchase. 21" ride and 15" hats. I'll be adding more in the near future.

[@warren_r]

That Wuhan dark china is one of the most beautiful cymbals I've ever heard.

[@diffdrmr884]

WOW. I personally rarely find a line of cymbals where I find each one desirable, but not the case with these. They all sound incredible!

[@knowntalmbout]

Glad these are finally getting some love. Hopefully you guys can become a dream cymbals dealer soon.

[@kevinbothwell8425]

They are! I’ve been a dream artist for about five years and I’m so proud to finally see the brand on Sweetwater :)

[@Yellowcard7572]

They already are :b great cymbals man

[@thegeorgeflores]

The 20" Crash and the lathed china are just ridiculous and I want three of them...

[@percplayer6415]

What a great demo! Using an array of tools so that the player can hear the differences. Wish every demo was like this! Excellent

[@Mike-ol7xp]

These cymbals love being under a microphone live or studio., I have the 14'' HH, 21''R, 17''&18''Cr,20''DCCh,10''&12''Sp, (12'' modded w/16 holes, 4 rows of 3 and one in between each of those). After over a year of gigs and recordings, I am still blown away, to the point of where I've been grabbing their Linear Smash Crashes which (to me) are equally as good. Wuhan are hands down the ''starter'' cymbal Kings, from the Western series to these Koi's any level of drummer can have great sounding B20 cymbals. Even their Lion Chinas are good, I still have an 16''&18'' that I got in the 80's (thanks to Neil Peart). As for any parents looking to buy your kids 1st set of cymbals, these or the Western series are the way to go, the same goes for any drummer on a budget. Stagg's new B20 cymbals are quite good also. Of course I'll never get rid of my Zildjian A's and K's, but that goes w/out saying yeah. Sorry for such a long winded comment, but I feel these Wuhan's deserve it.

[@DynamicRockers]

I want those 14" Hi Hats for recording, they sound amazing.

[@holmessph7]

I’ve got a set I’m picking up tomorrow. 15” HH, 17”, 19”, 21”. First new cymbals in decades. I’m juiced!

[@mapex311]

May have the reputation of starter but these hold their own. I listened to the Wuhan Koi dark china and Sabian Holy China and chose Wuhan over it. I think we need to get over the stigma of Wuhan as cheap/ starter. Kinda like how Kia vehicles used to be in the early 2000's.

[@GoAndPractice]

4:38 did Nick just play a drum solo using the classic bell tower melody as a motif on the cymbals?

[@okaight7248]

legend

[@richmartin6200]

This is as complete a demo as there can be. Very well done Nick!

[@trsfworld460]

The groove that Nick started off the video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 great demo

[@DynamicRockers]

Love the Koi series, very suprised by the beautiful sound of the Hi Hat.

[@trsd-ml9vz]

I have the dark china and it is the greatest I've ever owned.....and I've played many brands, series, sizes....this one is the greatest.

[@HectorRodriguez-music]

Great sounding cymbals! My faves were the ride, 17" crash and the Conical (brilliant) china

[@CoverBandDrummer]

Bought a whole set of these over the course of the last year. Unique, but colorful and musical. They're fairly thin, so they open up quickly and work great in lower volume settings, but mic up REALLY well (as you can tell above).

[@salvadorrosas7018]

I’ve heard they are not very durable. Any truth to that?

[@holmessph7]

I own the 21” ride, 17” and 19” crash. Absolutely amazing cymbals. I don’t know how you can beat them at their price, fantastic!

[@stevewilcock4767]

Beautifully Sweet! Beautifully sonically matched.

[@philipmorris57]

Awesome sound but great playing, beautiful demonstration

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

These things sound pretty smokin 👌🏽

[@RBDrums]

i really hope sweetwater becomes an istanbul dealer soon. Such great cymbals and i wish they got more recognition like these new wuhans. I love that china.

[@hobojungle1]

What is the best Istanbul line for rock? Ideally not too bright.

[@RBDrums]

@@hobojungle1 the istanbul traditional line is great. They are technically "brilliant" cymbals, but theyre handhammered and traditionally made, thus lots of dark and complex tones to them.

[@hobojungle1]

@@RBDrums when I search traditional I see “Agop”. Is that the ones?

[@RBDrums]

@@hobojungle1 Yup thats the ones

[@hobojungle1]

@@RBDrums thank you sir.

[@jasonm3871]

They sound similar to the K Sweet line.

[@Sasquatch27]

I wonder what the 20" crash would sound like vs a Zildjian cluster crash. Both seem to be lower volume cymbals.

[@owenmark702]

Nick is a master and so clean

[@TimSuliman]

How would you get the conical china into a cymbal bag?

[@UPdan]

They are excellent cymbals.

[@GoblinsOfFarmington]

those splashes sound amazing just like if you took a koi crash and pitched it up

[@musikman337]

What's the warranty standard on these? Nice price points tho

[@flashfan1122]

That ride sounds amazing! Maybe get it for a ride/crash option

[@jasonmusic9938]

those attack heads sound amazing

[@Magikarplvl9000]

Nick D the man!

[@idogillan]

It is so strange. The drums are louder than the cymbals and its hard to hear the cymbals.

[@place_desjardins]

Price is good for B20 cymbals.

[@CatabductionsAnoym]

I'm thinking these are maybe thicker than the western traditional ones because they have more sustain? The Wuhan crashes i have look almost identical, except the bell with these is un-lathed with hammered bell. I have the Western Wuhan series, too thin sometimes!

[@nosnackz]

Loving that China

[@blaketracy4377]

Are those crash's tuned to the Westminster Chime or is that just me?

[@darklight4815]

Oh wow 😳😳 ok I can dig it

[@DamianS1893]

Why does the 17" Crash sound better in this video compared to the Koi 17" Crash I have on my Kit? I just received the Koi 19" Crash and Koi Dark China. I definitely like the 19" Crash better than the 17" Crash. I plan on buying the Koi 20" Crash and maybe the 18" Crash

[@pwhite102]

That early playing on the Chinas has some mars volta vibes

[@AaronTremblay]

I swear I caught a bit of The Mars Volta during the china sample!

[@pwhite102]

Me too!

[@user-vu1sh2yn9e]

Xrazy but how would you or anyone compare these to the Sabian HHX Complex? Definitely another league but I want to hear some opinions.

[@CurtisBernard]

W O W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you guys hear those Chinas!!!!!????

[@Multifarious1]

If wuhan made a dark version of these (like the dark china)….wow

[@regentsaquariums5692]

In my opinion, sounded abit lack of depth & stick definition little bit soft compared to my Zildjian K. Would love to see someone really lay into it getting that full sounding tone

[@ericlonchambon4110]

Nick could play Sears & Roebuck cymbals and it would sound cool

[@Hugarch]

Try Silken Cymbals, are excepcional beauty oriental sound

[@aristotle5698]

Gotta do a Dream cymbals demo now

[@robgail4147]

Dream cymbal happened yesterday. Too much lower mid over tone for me. These Koi cymbals are very nice.

[@spencerharding5328]

Damn , these sound yummy

[@jadeone]

(paiste uses b8)

[@retrayal4642]

Nice to see Jon Lovitz lost some weight and is playing drums

[@paulsteezo1772]

Not Quite My Tempo....

[@joeldeliagaz4664]

I think he took a drummers steroid before this video lol, the faces he's making and the passion lol. I love it man.

[@hugh.munguzs]

I can barely hear the hi hat at all

[@adambrown8867]

You lost me a Wuhan for some reason.

[@evelynngarcia444]

That’s your loss.

[@geargeekpdx3566]

"hey here's an idea: let's name our more expensive brand of chinese cymbal who's entire existence has up to now been "we're cheap and chinese but not terrible" and name it after an invasive goldfish taking over the Great Lakes and mississippi river but raise the prices by like 150 percent. Who's with me!" -- Unnamed Chinese Marketing Lead, Wuhan, China

[@princeikel4349]

This fella makes me hate this instrument
