I really hope that there will be a mega bell ride of this series in the future!

[@FC-me1if]

I would like to see Classics Custom Dual Cymbals vs. Byzance Dual Extra Cymbals lol

[@dude_drummerooh8131]

I'm already investing in the Classics Custom Duals! I'm in a pop punk band, and I've already had experience with the Classics Customs series. Amazing cymbals! They cut through mixes, loud guitars, and pretty much anything else. Meinl has tons of cymbal lines that provide amazing versatility for someone like me who plays a very cool genre of music. Loved these cymbals since I bought them. I can 100% tell everyone that the CC Duals will not disappoint!

[@frogsdocanfly]

do they have a decent sustain? I got Sabian Freq Crash, it looks like these ones. and it dies almost instantly

[@nickweaver6874]

It’s a bit surprising Meinl is only just now making these, given how long they’ve had the dual Byzance series out, and it just makes sense to blend the existing Classics Custom finishes. They sound sweet.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Glad you dig them!

[@maikkramerdrums1397]

These cymbals sound great, especially for drummers that dont have much money but want good sounding cymbals that can be compared to the higher classes! I fell in love and I think im going to buy a ride, because it has a sound like the expensive cymbals. Also great video, buddy!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

That’s awesome! So glad you liked the video!

[@abramkoucheki]

"don't have much money" - full cymbal pack is the same cost as A customs lol

[@djr_drums]

Fell in love with my 18" Dual Dark Crash. It opens up like nothing Ive played before. The rest of my cymbals are Pure Alloys and I love them too

[@eddiegdrums1646]

I actually just switched to these from Zildjian K's because I was tired of how much it costs to replace them and I was blown away by how good they sound. More than happy.

[@ARDrummer]

Those cymbals sound great! They look very cool as well :)

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Agreed!

[@Drumsholic]

I'm in Love with ride , splash and stack !!!Great sound!!!!!!!

[@manianeusz8654]

I am in love with the ride

[@jitzwa]

I going to upgrade all of my cymbals from Zildjian to meinl, as it’s been a few years and I want a new sound. There’s just so many options!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I hear that! Welcome to the family!

[@rdrum2430]

I bought the sixteen custom dual crash to replace my old hcs and it didn't disappoint. I use them in everything from my prog rock n blues band to Sunday morning worship these cymbals in my opinion could be used in any genre just according to how you play them great product I recommend them.

[@ejamsc]

I think I like the sound of b12 cymbals over b20. I like the quicker decay. Although the soultone vintage b20 crash cymbals are incredible,they are also expensive as a Zildjian or Paiste.

[@westonjones4886]

I’m pretty happy with my CC darks, but that splash might be up my alley…

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Yeah the splash is sick

[@butchcassidy3373]

Great video and great sounding cymbals. Seriously considering buying a couple of these. I have the 19 inch Dark crash and it sounds great. Im an old drummer coming back after many years and it's a tough road but I'm having a blast and really enjoy jamming with friends again.

[@smithnisar6160]

The video editing is soo DOPE!!!!💥💥

[@IsraelLopez16781]

The cymbals sound crisp 🤌

[@nickgoodwindrums4206]

Them cymbals are shiny ! That 16 inch trash is very nice with that quick decay, and the Bell on the ride sounds so good in that rap mix. PS: I really wanted to apply for that video editing position for a moment (would be hella fun), but I have some work to do to be able to produce to the quality of videos you have already set out. Maybe in the future I will apply as I love what DBO is all about: helping and progressing the drumming community! Hope you find someone who fits what you're looking for and that they enjoy themselves with the creative work ! Keep doing what you're doing Gabe, Shaya and everyone else involved with the DBO team !

[@rajarobebeto7351]

For me cc dual great too for gospel

[@JakeStaffin]

I don't own any Meinl cymbals (I'm a big Sabian fan) but I have to say, these are probably the nicest sounding B12 cymbals I've ever heard, and I'm surprised how versatile they are between the styles you played. I wasn't sure what I'd think of them considering I'm not personally into the sound of the Byzance Dual cymbals but I was blown away by how awesome these sounded. If I were to buy a set of Meinl cymbals I'd definitely consider these for any situation where I'm playing those styles (though I play a lot more jazz and funk as well which might require something a bit more personal sound for he crashes and ride like some Byzance Jazz or Vintage cymbals, but the hi hats in the Classics Custom Dual line could still work for that). Very cool line!!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Heck yes Jake!

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

Isn't this b10? I have some zildjian B12 hi-hats.

[@just_in_time12]

Duuude those cymbals r fire

[@st3929]

Would be great if you did more of these videos with other series of cymbals, I wanna hear how different cymbals sound in a metal song mix

[@thatdrummeroz654]

That stack is a drum chop slice of heaven.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Haha yeah I actually really liked it!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Congrats on this man! Cheers!

[@mondragon9282]

I really liked the sound of the hi hats! They have a really nice wash to them. Wonder how they would sound with my kit 🤔 🤔🤔

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Haha time will tell I’m sure!

[@solitudeparade]

Dude the startup sound with Tim Cook is too much. Well done!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

😂😂 thank you!

[@tsamopoulos]

Those cymbals were awesome, I wait for Gabe's signature cymbal series

[@Max-dd4ow]

Wait, is that actually happening? Or are you hoping it happens someday?

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Dang that would be dope

[@marcpatzelt2430]

These sounded better than a regular B12 cymbal series.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Agreed!

[@drummercarson896]

I love it when you say "Hello My Beautiful Friends"

[@shawndabizkit3380]

2:57 what is that rudiment pattern? It sounds super sick!

[@maltes666]

these cymbals sound and look awesome

[@willielokie]

I think cymbal/drum companies should get you to do videos for them. That was super! Esp that intro sequence!

[@lauragalvan6285]

Ooooh I’ve been considering new cymbals lately but was having trouble deciding. I currently use the Custom Classic Darks, but they’re the entry level sizes, and they sometimes fall short on the sound I want. These seem like some good ones to smack around on 😌Perfect timing, thanks Gabe!

[@Max-dd4ow]

If I could give you any advice I would say do not buy one big set of cymbals, I would say find the ones you want and buy each one individually so you can mix and match the sound a little bit

[@lauragalvan6285]

@@Max-dd4ow thanks! That makes sense and definitely seems like the most feasible process to achieve what I want. I actually currently use a mix of the HCS and Darks bc I had the HCS first 🥴

[@butchcassidy3373]

I have the 19 inch crash in the CC Dark and love the way it sounds. Thinking of mixing in some of these Duals with some Fat Hats. Think that's the sound I want

[@kare14drums]

yes

[@ClayBlackwell]

Awsome video I also attended my first rock festival September 9-12 at blue ridge rock festival and finally got to see I prevail live seeing you gabe and Luke Holland at the same show was absolutely amazing!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

That’s so cool! So glad you liked it! I had a blast.

[@TheTruth70777]

please review the zildjian s dark

[@RefRMart10]

I’m selling my hhx complex then crash and Omni ride to get these! Absolutely love them. Yes I’m downgrading but I feel Ike I’m upgrading

[@ReecePlaysDrums_]

Im actually flipping between these and the hhx complex, which do you prefer?

[@RefRMart10]

@@ReecePlaysDrums_ after owning both now. I think I’d honestly get a mixture. If you’re purchasing the packs the get the HHX complex. But personally I like the HHX crashes, and the Meinl dual for the Ride and hihat. That’s what I would do

[@alexisnivollet3569]

YOU'RE BACK, MY FRIEND!!!

Way better than what I started with....zbts. cracked within a week. All of them.

[@Top.g-h6l]

So good

[@Aka_GUNDAM]

I didn’t really like the sound for I prevail. Didn’t sound loud enough and cutting through. Could just be my EQ preference. It sure did sounds absolutely amazing for the pop and Rap wow that gives me ideas! 🌀🔥🐝

[@aaronanthony569]

DBO, plz can you specify the difference between these and the pure alloys and pure alloy customs

[@samaphantNovaJewelX]

You could do a 30 inch Stagg super ride, Zildjian 21 inch Mega Bell Ride, Byzance 22" Jazz Tradition Flat Ride Cymbal AND A Byzance 22" Jazz China-Ride Cymbal

[@matthewgonano636]

They honestly sound what cymbals sound like in my head. I have the hi hats and got them randomly with a trade with an old paiste china i had. I do want more of this set and love them. Cant wait to get the set

[@thenieljohnson7752]

Yaaaay Gabe's back

[@davidballew4]

Can you do a new video on your favorite cymbals ? I wonder if these will be replacing any byzance

[@cjleongson]

The production... my goodness

[@brandonfarley5297]

I think they did well with the pop song. Not so much with the rap song. But I think a well versed drummer can mold any set of drums and cymbals into any genre. Just my opinion.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

That’s a good opinion!

Try even the cheapest cymbals and play all these songs the same way, plus the editing the goes on behind cameras, you’ll pretty much hear the same thing.

K but can they blend in with a reggae tune???

[@henryroberts5341]

Yes that joke was funny

[@Grey-08]

28th thousand view

[@yoyomaster989]

Why is B20 more expensive? Is it better in sound, or it's harder to make? Here in Southeast Asia, B20 cymbals are pretty cheap.

[@Jeremy_Sims]

Better in sound, and a bit more expensive for them to make. Of course with a lot of major companies they put Marketing and the Ratios from so many other endorsements in the overall price too. So that’s why a lot there are smaller companies with b20 cymbals a little cheaper too

[@-ajms-]

First. Always instantly click on your videos gabe!

[@geniusdrummer643]

Can this play jazz?

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I don’t think they’d be ideal for jazz, I’d recommend b20 cymbals like the byzance jazz/foundry reserve for jazz
