The hats with the dual bottom sounds CRAZY 🔥

Totally does. Smooth and super precise sound Love it !

Hey Zack coming early. I love your channel so much and you’ve honestly reminded me why I love drums so much. Please, please never stop doing what you do. You are truly the most incredible content creator I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Have a good day man.

The 17 inch hi hats actually sound incredible

Think the same! Record quality!

[@Wuschi2001]

Well, I think they are credible

[@EnriqueMendoza-bb4fu]

Agreed

[@WilliamBottka]

I have the 20 inch extra dry crash, my favorite part about it is I can use it as a pseudo ride cymbal for jazz combos, brings an awesome texture during piano and bass solos

[@sebotheemo4116]

The 17 inch crash Hi-Hats actually sounded really good

[@Foeisudhxj]

They sound good opened but when they are closed it doesnt really have a chick sound to it like smaller hi hats do. It basically constantly sounds like they are open.

[@sebotheemo4116]

@@Foeisudhxj I agree. They would be better for rock in that way.

[@therealdeathyyy]

One of the best things I saw happen over the pandemic was watching you blow up. KZbin suggested your OG guitar center drummer video, and I remember genuinely being entertained watching it and giving you a sub (you had less than 15k at the time) thinking I might have found a diamond in the rough. I don't even remember when I realized your view counts and sub count had blown up, but it made me smile and it's been fucking awesome watching you turn something that I imagine was kind of just a lark while we had no gigs into a real avenue for your passion and talent for drums. Can't wait for the Meinl sessions. Cheers.

[@MykytaStasevych]

You can place those 17" hats as second hi hat stack thing. Meinl actually making that type of cymbals too

[@MykytaStasevych]

Bottom cymbal with soundpro edge is actually meta for this

Damn dude I know exactly what you mean with that cymbal sounds. Literal ear gold haha good stuff as always tho man. You helped inspire me to start my own drum channel. Not really close to your level yet, and I just do anime intros so it's a little goofy, but I'm having fun and I've been loving trying something new. Keep it up, always enjoy seeing new content

[@niccololaforteza7983]

dude. seeing you get a matt garstka cymbal and playing these sick rock grooves has me thinking, itd be great to see you learn some melodic prog

[@shungite3446]

Yeah

[@luissebastianjimeneztorvis6927]

Maybe a Chon cover would fit better. I feel his style would go with their music a lot.

[@bozthescrewup410]

I’ve got a set of 18” zildjian hats where I use an old A crash ride on bottom and a newer a thin crash on top. Or sometimes I use the thin crash on bottom with an a custom trash crash on top. Love them. Big hats for the win.

[@pircmodern]

Your talent, hard work, and dedication has afforded you the great compliment of recieving these amazing cymbals. Congratulations! I love your videos, because, not only is your drumming superb, but you are really funny, and seem like a genuinely nice person.

[@llll-lk2mm]

Out of all my favourite would be the 20 inch extra dry. That tone is perfect.

[@j.bxtz22]

The Ride (I think 21inch) was insane, I would have chosen this one

[@judecrawford2351]

I’ve watched this 5 times now, for some reason I just love the sound and look of Meinl byzance cymbals. Great video

Wow! It's been nice seeing you with these stuff, Zack! I've been a subscriber since your "Jazz drummer tries metal" video; while then you just had less than 50k subs-I've seen how your video improved over time, as well. Also, happy to know that you've landed on Drumeo too. Keep the good CHOPZZZ coming!

[@braepil]

Man it’s so cool to follow your success though your videos. These cymbals are very well deserved!

[@clintony3000]

Zack. I've been playing on and off for 14 years and done mostly metal and hard rock, but recently a group asked me to drum for them. Dusted my electronic kit off from its 6 month vacation in boxes and started watching your videos, and I have not stopped. I'm trying so hard to learn jazz drumming- which in reality should just be called masochism, but thank you for keeping a light attitude and having fun. Makes it so much easier to be really bad at it at first XD

[@drummerscomplex2340]

17 inch hats sound smooth as silk

[@infinitydrumming]

Loving the sound of that trash bottom with the foundry!! Congrats man, you deserve this! 😁 🎉

[@Reliquancy]

Some of these cymbals remind me too much of when my dad had this beautiful wood floor put in his living room and then had a crew of guys whip the hell out of it with chains and stuff because he wanted the “distressed” look. It hurt my soul lol

[@EnzoTheEnzyme]

Much appreciated the 17” hats. So cool how they lay low in the mix but still cut without being too high pitched

[@CalleCallegari]

been rocking with the 17" hats for a few years my favorite size hands down!!!!

[@killstealer_s]

Bro got the 17 ass crash cymbals damn

[@ItsTheRealChip]

When the 17 inch hi hats made the sizzle noise, it sound like Ringo Starr’s hi hat on the Beatles song “tell me why” or “I wanna be your man”

[@bugproductions9050]

To be fair, you could mount a 5 day old dog shit to your hi hat stand, and you would make it sound awesome.

[@1dudecrush]

You should try the Meinl sticks. I don’t even play their cymbals, but ever since I tried their sticks, I’ve left the VF camp. They’re just simply better.

Ride Cymbal. That's gotta be my favourite. Do like the 16" hi hats too. They both really do cut through nicely. Also love that hi hat stack you got in there at the end!!!! Top man. Great content!!!

[@gneff52]

Meinl definitely seems to make the best sounding stacks, and I've never been a fan of large sized hi hats, but damn! Those sound good

You have been a huge inspiration on keeping me motivated to practise and learn, id love for you to do a vid on your drumming journey from where you started, all the hours you put in, gigs youve done and where you wanna go musicly, keep doing ya thang ✌️

[@nephibisgaard1452]

Love the grooves. That 16 inch re-created hi hat is beautiful. Alot of dark, trashy cymbals happening. I like bright cymbals my self, but always looking for different things to incorporate into my style.

[@UPdan]

I made a "Zackshake" cymbal by taking a 20" cheap meinl ride, drilled 12 holes in it, sandpapered to top, darkened and added 6, yes six, nuts and bolts in the holes. Sizzle baby.
