Zildjian Series Comparison Video

[@tobiasderer]

Thanks so much for appreciating what I do! Don't forget to subscribe & please THUMBS UP the video! Check out my music with UMC here: bit.ly/2Wdk0UR

[@MichaelSouhoka]

The groove, as well as the opening and ending title styles are no creative. You've copied the style of Paiste Cymbal Morph video which has been performed by Josh Devine, drummer of One Direction. It seems that you've played too rushy and too quickly, so I can't pay attention clearly to the differences of all series. Because of this, I am getting tired and dizzy to hear it especially for the part when you hit the crashes several times (riding the crashes) and therefore... all those rides and crashes feel the same.

[@MichaelSouhoka]

Better slow down a little bit just like Jared's demo here. Because he's playing pretty clear, I can spot the differences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ2plWBonap3jtk

the A custom and S Series stick out for me, I really like them

I have A custom hats and this guy just made love them more,but the S just has the crisp sound

[@zacdrake]

Just my opinion, but the older zbt's just suck!!! Maybe the new ones are better...they look more like the ZHT's (which are discontinued). The S series hats and crashes sound pretty good and will pass in most situations. The S ride (that my friend has) has an extremely annoying overtone that simply offends my ears and doesn't blend musically with any genre of music that I play.

[@LunarDesignsGFX]

Zac Drake I have all S series cymbals and they’re really good except for the ride, when I try to crash it has a super annoying overtone to it

[@majastergaard5596]

with me is the A costume and S series that suits my taste .... i even have the cymbal package with the Zildjian S series with 16,18, 20 and hi-hat .... these are some really good cymbals ... .have also tried the K series ... but it's too dark for me.

[@akhristov]

@@majastergaard5596 I was not a fan of K Zildjians when I first started drumming, but they've become some of my favorite cymbals over the years. I do dig A Customs, and Zildjian did a great job on making the budget "S Series" sound good.

[@williamfox1394]

I just got my Zildjian S series today. They sound great, but the 18 inch crash is just a little dry, but I know it'll grow on me because they sound amazing.

[@UpNorthRob]

so tired of cymbal demo vids where the player forgets the cymbal sound is the focus and starts jaggin' off all around the kit. Nicely done vid...clean, straight up, you let every cymbal do it's thing! Well done, Tobias...Thanks!!!

[@WagnerBros]

When I first saw this video, I though that the A customs were my favorite. However, those are my favorite by looks as well (love the brilliant finish) and so I hypothesized that maybe I had unconscious bias towards the sound quality. So, on another day, I listened to them without watching, and looked at what the set was after he played them. Turns out, when I can’t see them (so truly off of sound), K series is definitely my favorite!

[@WagnerBros]

It’s interesting how the appearance of the cymbals can unconsciously alter how I hear the cymbals 😂

[@WagnerBros]

K custom session in a close second but the ride isn’t quite as nice

[@joshuajohnwood849]

@@WagnerBros Ive got that ride in 18 inch and ive never been completly satisfied. Problem is its too heavy

[@siyabongathembinkosimngome8869]

After reviewing it again my greatest challenge is we get told that not everything which sound crisp and good is good for studio,e.g ZBT's sound great but you'll never see Musicians using it except beginners

[@ronniek7748]

Great video demonstration and excellent consistent playing, perfect for this kind of review.

[@bobc2039]

Great comparison - the standard Ks to me are the best. I have a set and they have the perfect balance of articulation and build without the getting out of control.

[@23x31]

First off, very good video. My preference are Zildjian A's. To me, these have the quintessential sound that all cymbals are judged against. For the most part, Zildjian A's define how great cymbals should sound and is all I've ever used, although have played many others but own nothing other than A's.

[@ryanewalters]

Yup a full set of everything A would never be a mistake. For me I like the K hats a little more though. And if you get a chance listen to the 21" K sweet ride or a regular 22" K ride just amazing.

Well done Tobias!...this is a fantastic Zildjian demonstration video easily the best that I have seen on line!...as a long, long time, drummer I have to say that nearly all cymbal company demonstration videos are disappointing, including Zildjians', as are most shop demonstration that are posting on line...you have done what almost no one else does in that you have gone through the whole Zildjian series, played standardized grooves on, identical layouts, with almost the same size cymbals amongst the different series... well done you...I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your video demo's...Oh and this is by no means an after thought, but love your playing too!

[@seitsen]

Yeah, i have an old 18" Sabian Xs20 Medium Crash (natural finish) that sounds just amazing recorded! Cymbal companies should start researching what is it that makes a cymbal sound great recorded and start making actual "studio" lines, specifically for recording purpose.

[@ochocabra3922]

+seitsen in 2002 i recorded an album using a full set of Sabian B8's (i'm a Paiste guy, but that's what i had access to then). they sounded ok at rehearsal, no real issues, just ok. but to this day, they're the best cymbal sound i ever got on tape. and it wasn't some amazing studio, it was an empty supply room at a courier company. so, yeah, there's something about low-mid range cymbals that record like a dream

I found the K Custom Dark Cymbals to sound the best with the K lights, A Avedis, and the Constantinople cymbals coming in a tie for second place. I really dislike the bell on the Kerope ride though.

[@Drumaier]

yes that bell sounds like hell

[@shannonedens7854]

Well, it's really not meant to be played like that. It's a jazz cymbal, not a rock cymbal with clanging bell. The bell on those is very small and flat, meant to control the spread and wash of the cymbal. I wish he would have actually played that ride because it really is a nice cymbal when used for what it is made for.

[@unoPlox]

I felt the same and not only about the Keropes... the Cons and the new Avedis also didn't show their true value with that rock beat, but for the comparison purpose that's ok! As the A Heavy in the hands of a jazz guy probably would sound weird too, hehe!

[@egor-drummer]

Me too

[@NilsHedstrom]

A custom's are definitely the best crashes if you ask me! I love to have a combination of A custom and K crashes. But when it comes to rides I highly prefer the regular A's. Love the A 21 Sweet ride!

[@AMdotWAV]

Love my Zildjian S’s

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Sir I have to commend you on the editing. Just seamless. I think the S series is pretty good for the money, but that being said I just bought a used A custom 16" thin crash in near mint condition for the price of a new S. When I found it on the 'Bay....I jumped on it immediately.

[@pequeno1114]

The same groove of paiste comparison

[@ShawnxEdge]

With a few added kicks and snares

[@esau817]

that's what happen when u aren't enough crative tho

[@tobiasderer]

Let´s call it a simple beat, maybe?!

[@zamek4744]

Tobias Derer what drum kit are you using?

[@tobiasderer]

DW SSC

[@tutecast]

4:56 and 1:45. Can't decide. Very different. But love them both.

[@afqt80]

tutecast k dark

[@aavishkaar8065]

Zildjian K Custom Dark \m/

[@ak2298]

Nice! Would have been nice to play the rides without the bell a bit more!

[@dannydrumperc]

I love my regular K's every day more and more, although the Kerope and Constantinople crashes were awesome. The whole Avedis set was very nice too.

[@nocomment3600]

Seems like the A lines version of the kcons . Would not mind adding a 17 incher to my kcon set.

[@300kike]

Perfect cymbal showcase. Great job! K dark for me!

[@loganswank52]

I think the A series is the best sounding

[@Ramshackled17]

Logan Swank me too.

[@zamek4744]

For me A custom

[@stephenlandry9061]

Logan Swank I agree with you. So many to pick from. A Series are very versatile

[@CvetaevOrchestra]

Which hi-hat did he used in this video in A Cimbals???

[@TheDispather]

yes, A series are all-around cymbals,....you can play any music on them :)

[@dukeofpearl]

A Customs for me with a K hybrid ride! Perfection (imho)🕶

[@AgentNight1]

The S Series sounds amazing!

[@harrygaylordrums]

For the money they are epic!

[@rippindrummer666]

Ehhh the only decent sound s cymbals in my opinion are the trash crashes and the regular 14” hats. The crashes and the rides are meh sounding at least to my ears, they have that annoying clingy high pitched over tones that paiste 2002s have

[@ericgutierrez5568]

Sound like Paiste 2002's you say? Hmmm, aren't those the newer version of what John Bonham used? Interesting since his sound is EPIC. They would be a great and less expensive alternative to achieving the John Bonham sound. Hmmm, I'll have to take a closer listen. Thanks for the comparison :-)

[@immateardrop8897]

john bonham paiste cymbals were dark and controled the 2002s are not based off of them

[@ericgutierrez5568]

Sfm Dude, you’re so wrong. Do you even listen to Led Zeppelin? His cymbals are not dark. No one used dark cymbals when playing loud rock music back in the 60’s and 70’s. Dark cymbals don’t cut enough for such music 😂. But nice try. John Bonham played Giant Beats, which later became the 2002’s. They just recently brought the Giant Beats name back from the grave via popular demand. But they are practically identical. Research it.
