Using the Cursed Cymbal...on a gig

[@pzilla3612]

If you ever get a signature cymbal with Meinl, you need to name it “Minle”. The Meinl Minle by ZackGrooves.

[@Que934]

What kind of cymbal tho?A stack?

[@TU42Fuzzy]

LMAO

[@hannesdrumss]

@@Que934 Hopefully a ride or some crunchy 16“ hats. There are already way too many stacks I want on my kit lmao

[@frederikdallthomalla3184]

Imma get that if it becomes a thing

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

@@Que934 nah, it has to be like the original, a brass trash crash

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

Honestly the cursed cymbal sounds okay as an effects cymbal imo.

[@325bpm6]

it does sound neat

[@ryderdrums]

[@TheOriginalDJarbiter]

I was also thinking, if you want something that’s kind of a hybrid between a China and an open hi-hat, I don’t know many other options. I only have an e-kit though, I don’t have a huge drum gear knowledge library.

[@ArrowThrills]

Or the cursed cymbal can be used as a excellent clap stack or cymbal stack.

[@ChristianOldsBruh]

This has to be one of my favorite minle cymbals in their whole catalogue

[@brendanmorales4504]

These story time blogs slap bro. Great pacing, good cuts/editing. Also great sound.

[@ZackGrooves]

Thanks a lot Brendan!!! You da man 💪

[@FoolishFrankie]

4:13 I hear Nathan shedding those overtones!👀🔥

[@RockinExperience]

I can relate. I have this cheap piece of scrap cymbal from a CB kit. It's flimsy, bent, thin, wobbly, trashey, and crashed. However, when it used at the right time, it is absolutely perfect. I have had a few of my drummer friends borrow it. It's so unique. It's effects change depending on how you mic it too. It's bizarre. Yet sounds incredibly exotic.

[@mcstench8913]

thats sick

[@Gerydt]

You’re so inspiring bro, even watching dumb videos like this is inspiring, you are a big influence in my drumming, so thank you :)

[@ZackGrooves]

Thank you my brother

[@BurrenSHdrums]

Zack is like fire through the darkness

[@sambarker6141]

@@ZackGrooves Zack you wouldn't be based out of North Carolina would you? If so, do any of your bands need a bass player? If you have business contact info let me know

[@The73rdSecret]

Bad cymbals are actually useful. I like their trashy sounds as a counterpoint to the shinny sparkly nice ones. I used to have a fun stack I made with both a bad crash and a hihat bottom cymbals

[@bentheturntableguy182]

I got some awful hi hats along with my drumkit, that happened to look just like Zack’s “cursed cymbal,” without the dents though. I got some nicer hi hats, so I began using one of the old hi hats as a crash. I went absolutely hog wild on the thing, and now it is very much like Zack’s cursed cymbal! 😂

[@koshey245]

I used my Mapex hats as just ride hates because it's all they're good for lmao

[@brown9671]

I mixed my old and new one and it was kinda cool, the swishy type of hi hats but not sloppy

[@greg439]

You honestly outdid yourself on that outro. Keep it up fam.

[@Mattochan]

Confirmed. That wish cymbal really do bring the bad juju.. be safe bro lol.

[@chrisfalcone5211]

Dude I absolutely love your videos😆, that cymbal really is cursed 🤣 I'd burry it deeper.

[@mydixiewrecked315]

i'd take it to a jeweler and have him melt it down into the shape of a cross-just to protect the gear you have, as well as, your own life!!!! and place it upon your keychain.

[@fortyseven915]

So happy for you being able to get yourself a Challenger. Your success is well deserved!

[@hardcoreoma]

[@BusDriverLife]

Watching this video on my break at work..awesome video bro! Bad weather is..bad! 😆

[@fishfug]

yo i absolutely dig you’re content bro rock on

[@delightfulcele]

YOOOOOO I live in the town next to Greenville, thanks for not going any further with that cymbal!

[@awesomeguy8292]

zack looks so sophisticated with his glasses on

[@b.p.879]

Speaking to playing on cheaper gear, I'm selling my old 2007 Starclassics and getting a Superstar classic 7 piece kit. They're a step down from the Starclassics but they sound amazing and are a great price for me, and I'll be able to afford better cymbals!

[@thaloniaswjonn]

as someone whos been using a superstar classic for 6ish years gigging and recording, they are very underrated!! very versatile and have been used on records from hard rock to small group jazz!!

[@ArrowThrills]

I'm confused

[@cartert147]

6:09 bro transformed into my cranky old math teacher ☠️

[@tylermoseley935]

I've been waiting SO LONG!!!

[@Dariddda]

Dude, I've been watching your videos since 1994 and only now I realised I was'nt subbed... so there you go, reached a milestone.

[@-Mikep.Fisher]

6:52 “DJ bust a Nut” 🤣

[@TheLtownrocker133]

During the 6 years I played drum kit, I used a sound percussion kit and never changed the heads once. Somehow they never broke and they didn't sound that bad. Was playing rock/metal so that dull kinda tom sound fit okay.

[@jacobblue3027]

Get the full nub cymbal set for a gig bruh!!! Sounds dope 🔥🔥

[@ghostchill1164]

I'm happy you were the person to inspire me to finally get my own drum kit! Thank You Zack!

[@kage7658]

Big inspiration thank you

[@Its-Thomas-Time]

“Or else I’m gonna kiss your dad” is such a big brother threat 🤣

[@l1nk987]

Thanks for making life easier over the last few years, it’s been depressing over here in Sydney Australia with the Covid lockdowns, you’ve given me and others reasons to smile, you’re amazing mate!

[@ArrowThrills]

Damn I feel bad for you.

[@itsdonaldo]

Pretty Cool, I had a cymbal like that and put rivets in it. I like it now.

[@Palm_Mute]

I was a little surprised when I saw that part you played in Greenville. I’ve walked across that stage about a dozen times lol, it’s a pretty nice place.

[@frederikdallthomalla3184]

Mad necklace in the studio. Love the video and def do the cheap cymbal setup.

[@_TheMichaelOrlando]

You had the GOAT Domo Max in this video! One of the greats

[@jfields343]

Love the "aftermath" vid shot. That was a beautiful sky! And no that symbol is badass not cursed lol

[@camenders]

amazon vid? WHERE IS IT SIR ZACK!!!!!

[@samhpercussion]

Unrelated but the man you are drumming with at 3:51 is actually my drum set professor! My ears perked up when you said Greenville but that's actually crazy

[@spacejumper0593]

Yes finally, just waited for it. Hell yeah, EPICO!

[@emmafissinger7422]

so i clicked off the video as u said, "AND DONT FORGET" and i was like NOOOOO and i hit the back button to hear the rest and I laughed my ass off I went back for that xD so worth

[@auburnsmith5610]

2:05 nice glasses dude

[@69adrummer]

Red sky at night, sailor's delight!!

[@tosinmcboy]

My bro ZACKGrooves I cannot stop laughing because you when talking About THE Minel CYMBALS

[@Albeit_Jordan]

Pro tip: if you actually use those cymbal stand nuts/screw top things, you can play during a windstorm and/or hurricane without getting decapitated. Well, without getting decapitated _by your cymbals..._

[@subwoofr]

❤️everytime you post I watch. It doesn’t matter what video.❤️ PEAK CONTENT

[@legendintraining6379]

You’re awesome, the videos you make are just the perfect balance, you are why i want to play the drums, thank you

[@ilonagunszebn]

[@mcstench8913]

i freaking love your drumset, its so nice

[@spacejumper0593]

Yo…What happened to the Amazon cymbal video? Is it coming someday Great video though EPICO!

yoooo the clip at 5:04 was cheek clappin

[@roflojd]

Bad gigs happen even in good weather mate. Great video!

Nothing educational can be had about cheap cymbals. Drums, yes. Cymbals, never!

Dang! One hit on that Wish cymbal, and ALL OF THAT happened! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We need minle merch. Just a plain hoodie with "minle" written in sharpie across the front 😤

[@pduber]

Don’t stop there, get a kids set with them cymbals.... play that on the gig!! Pace!

[@vojtahoral780]

Its great idea to show how a great drummer can make cheap gear sounds amazing pls do that 😄

[@origamigek]

I was worried there'd be no kiss in the video but my boii doesn't disappoint

[@mikulusaurus]

03:53 I laughed out loud at that cymbal smack

[@therealjbk]

minle cymbals really sound different

[@hiptoalieu]

WAIT...Greenville South Carolina??? I LIVE THERE!!!

[@Millsmillsmills]

Literally just opened KZbin and thought, “I hope zack posted”

[@danielkim9959]

Hey man, I'm guessing you have one of the older Sony APS-C camera (6300,6500) and if you want to get longer 4K recording times, there's this thing called "Open Memories" which is a firmware you can install on the camera. That allows you to enable a setting that lets it reach higher temps before shutting down. That combined with using an external power bank should help w/ the heating issues. There are a bunch of tutorials and stuff on YT about it. If you don't want to use any of the 3rd party stuff or diy methods, and you have some of that sweet Skillshare sponsor dolla$ then Sony's newer stuff like the ZVE10 or a6100, 6400, 6600 don't have any 4k recording limits bc of more efficient video stuff or smth. They use the same E-mount for lenses so all of your current gear should work w/ them. Hope this helps!

[@danielkim9959]

Also love your vids, I'm a classical cellist kinda guy but I've been doing a lot of airdrumming thanks to you lol.

[@mainbreakfast]

Bruhh. I didn’t know you were in Greenville recently 🙃🧐 I wish I could’ve come see ya

[@DanMarcelino]

I think this cymbal is going to be worth a lot soon..

[@connor9024]

Not to be weird, but like the other day I was cooking for a band and their venue was changed last minute because of the threat of the storm, it was outside and was moved to an indoors venue (which I didn’t know about so I was looking like a chump walking around a deserted stage holding a dozen sandwiches) but with the length and intensity of the storm in this video, Im pretty sure it was the same storm, hurricane winds and violent lightning for like 20 minutes, then boom back to normal so just know that that storm was fucking up bands all over the country

[@JosephQaqish]

5:43 Waiting for this ❤

[@lenneke_]

I still love that fucking outro omg ots soooo good okay love ya bye.

[@grantbrinton1024]

The way it fell straight into my hand when I got the notification💀

last second really caught me off guard🤣

[@KeepTheGates]

Joke's on you, my dad is dead. Kiss him all you want.

[@WaWaWeeeeeeeWa]

The biggest problem with cheap cymbals is the hh. The feedback on the cheap ones is really shitty because of the material being too thin, after a year of drumming with really cheap childish hh I switched to a fair one and finally I'm getting the physics I need, it really does changes everything. I I were you, I would invest most of my 20$ there ;)

[@everypersoneverywhere7955]

Give that cymbal a big old kiss from me.
