Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Cymbals Review

[@michaelortiz8214]

Nick's sign of the horns when he says "heavy metal" at 7:54 \m/ lol Great sounding cymbals, appreciate the review!

[@waqqodonkey]

Nick's a metal head!!! \m/

[@Celtica111]

Your playing is always inspiring to watch nick, not only bang on time, heavy groove and tasty fills. You play the drums so melodically, adding so much colour to every boring cymbal/drum demo. 😊👍🏻great job man

[@hingadingadurgen1446]

Zildjian is going Meinl on us.

[@PLDrums1]

Well if they are, they're doing Meinl better than Meinl.

[@Eldaino999]

boom!

[@Drumaier]

special dries were introduced on 2001

[@ikilluL8eron]

paulo101 ahahahahahahahahahahahah bull shif

[@RamonHernandez1]

Zildjian went dark cymbals before anybody was even interested on that kind of sound. at the time it sadly didn´t take of for them

[@Rockin_Ross]

I have a 22" K Custom dry ride and it's my baby. It just works well all around. On a video note: Is it just me or does Nick always look like he just woke up and sat down to do a video?

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

I loved that opening backing track!

[@frednovaes5888]

Good lord !!!!! Love the drum, the cymbals,your drumming....bless you

[@BBT609]

LOVE ZILDJIAN!!!

[@DemetriusConley]

BBT609 Zildjian all day! 😁

[@dereksmith2621]

LOVE that ride and hi-hat!! Gimme, gimme, gimme!

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Nick is a beast...love his joy!

[@ricohorton]

Nick you make anything sound good.

[@michellewright99]

I really enjoyed this demo / review. Never took time to learn the drums, but I love them. Love to see someone enjoying the craft. I just learned some music lingo as far as the trash sound goes too. Thanks!

[@oshikiri999]

It's never to late to learn!

[@Rockin_Ross]

Great video! I just recently picked up a 22" Custom Dry and can't play it enough. You've got me looking into the dry crashes now.;-)

[@ldcsam1]

Nick, You are an amazing drummer. I love watching your videos/demos of all the great products at Sweetwater. I live in Oklahoma City, OK, and I plan on making a trip to Fort Wayne later this year and spend the day at Sweetwater. It would be an honor to meet you. I am so glad the world has the opportunity to see and hear your amazing talent via KZbin. Keep up the great work, and keep those vides/demos coming.

[@sweetwater]

Thank you Larry! When you do come up to Sweetwater just give me a shout. I would be happy to meet up with you. Take care, Nick

[@nathandrums0]

Did you ever visit?

[@TheSpencerLevi]

Man do I love the sound of the Mapex Armory set.

[@musashi1562]

Great video! Nick is very good in introducing new product. Great drummer, amazing music and sound. All perfect for me! Thank you :)

[@acrwalter]

Perfect I wanna these! The universe gonna bring me these!!!

[@iangubbins]

Some lovely playing!!

[@MMediaP]

I'd mix these with a brighter sounding set... They'd be a great addition.

[@RoeShamBoe]

why is the "Uploads" playlist for the channel at the bottom of the page? it should be at the top so the newest video is prominently displayed

[@remygaron8311]

Nick yoû're doing wicked it reviews keep it up and thank you👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@martinkent_]

I want to get a pair of 15" K Light Hats and 15" K Custom Special Dry hats and mix the tops and bottoms. Also there's something about that 21" ride...

[@frichickenisha9906]

Killer!

[@acursat7121]

Hi, Nick. I am a really big fan of your product demos and I think you are a great drummer. In addition I love the Play- in and Play-out Music of your Videos. So I wanted to ask you if it is possible to get the Music from your videos?

[@documentingordinarythoughts]

Love it!

[@jdrumz321ify]

Does the 18 in crash put out enough volume for live rock?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, C Drummys! Good question. To some degree, it depends on how loud the guitar players are in your band and the size of the venue. For most gigs, this crash is plenty loud, but you may need to use overhead mics for larger gigs. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]

[@ozzku]

The other cymbals aren’t really my cup of tea, but that trash china is awesome. Just enough trashiness that i’m looking for in a secondary china.

[@roccobovenzi7018]

I just bought a wuhan western 19” thin crash that sounds dam near like that 20” crash for 100$

[@WatchesnguitarsDK]

They're so dry I got thirsty. The Meinl Sand series sound like the happy medium between these and "ordinary" cymbals (AAX og something similar).

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

When did these dry cymbals become a trend

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Probably about as long as Jazz has been around. I wasn't aware it was a "trend" After all, the ride is your typical, dry, dark sounding ride. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@olympiawashdrummer]

Weckl used them a lot - but now endorses Meinl

[@marcusmattox4775]

what song was this

[@declanwrightmusic]

What types of drum heads are you using?

[@EvilSewnit]

Declan Wright Aquarian Classic clear on top and bottom and a aquarian texture coated on top of the snare and a classic clear snare side on the bottom of the snare.

[@frankiesalazar8964]

Would these be good in church?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Frankie. These are great cymbals. The dryness of these makes them a little quieter. That would make your pastor really happy. They are fairly trashy, though. I think they’d work well. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@richardgoldman8761]

Stick with K Custom Fast Crashes. The hats are cool tho.

[@dye182]

Cool cymbals other ten the price they sound like efx ozone’s but double the price

[@Drumaier]

Special dry line is great but not a whole set of them. The ride and hats are the ones that makes more sense here since they sound controled, the crashes could not exist and nobody would care.

[@jacobjones6642]

I thought the same thing til I got the box set and man, the 16 and 18 have grown on me quite a bit. I have a 19 in trash crash as well

[@joshuaestrada6042]

I would give it to metal drummers

[@niccolomadrid5512]

joshua estrada No,actually us metal drummers enjoy bright long decay cymbals or cymbals with an in the middle tone.But I could do well with that pair of hats.

[@niccolomadrid5512]

Basically something that can cut through.But I do own a 19 inch crash from this brand called arborea.It's pretty dry but has longer decay than most dry cymbals and cuts through pretty well.

[@richcrawbuck3396]

I'd like to play progressive metal with these tough guys.

[@niccolomadrid5512]

Rich Crawbuck The Matt Garstka approach?Nice idea.Best executed though with k custom hybrids or Meinl duo byzance series.

[@k333ma3]

3:35 mario theme

[@alefejamarino]

Wow, you have a spetacular pattern recognition hahahahaha

[@soundknight]

vintage

[@WallY07wAc]

that's cool and all but take off those fans from the toms LOL (for the slow people, it's a joke)

[@Escapism7133]

Not my cup of tea. Too trashy and the decay is way too fast. I would miss the brilliance in the top end in a mix. I could see how having one or two of them in a setup could be cool though. Definitely wouldn't go with a full dry/dark cymbal setup imo.

[@BBT609]

patrick.cs ID have that 20 inch as a compliment to my drum kit!

[@rosalawooz7587]

patrick.cs fully agree👍🏼 way too trashy IMO

[@drumman806]

Excellent point. I would integrate them with my K darks and my A customs. This gives me a wider range of sound and variation.

[@joshuaestrada6042]

woah super dry

[@benwarrenflynn]

Not a trash crash

[@louishebert6422]

C’est dark et loud longtemps...loll😀

[@josuevela4288]

K zildjian China

[@dye182]

Also stupid that cymbal companies make cymbals like these with no real musical tone or volume then charge insane amounts for them. These should not cost what they do

[@freecitizen2760]

Nope.

[@JWCFB]

Too trashy for my liking.

[@oshikiri999]

These sound gross. Couldn't even see the loungiest of jazz drummers going this dry.

[@joshuaestrada6042]

these cymbals are super trashy too

[@toynazi]

That ride sounds AWFUL.

[@ScottyMcYachty]

Yeegh... I hate the way these cymbals sound.

[@waynelenig3645]

Nick is a great drummer but they needed a jazz guy to demo these. Also dry cymbals are pretty jarring when they are bare. They need to be accompanying something.

[@claystaggs8908]

I'm sorry but just not for me. Seems crazy spending alot of $ on something that sounds so crappy

[@cpl.hollowpoint5352]

Worst ride ever.

[@AndrewEwing1995]

these cymbals sounds like crap. I like more brighter sounding cymbals.

[@giantl9196]

Like Zildjians a custom series?
