Nothing beats a zildjian earth ride for a dark sound

[@anthonyn1312]

Is that a Limited edition Cymbals from Zildjian? Yes or no? And why?

[@ArrowThrills]

@@anthonyn1312 not sure.

[@derekadams2250]

What is the snare in this vid?

[@DavinGlover]

Everyone is saying they don’t like the crashes but honestly I love all these cymbals. I just picked up this set and the crashes sound amazing and dark in person, but with that being said the ride is def the star in this pack

[@JeremyLeech]

@fartpooboxohyeah8611every video has people complaining about them lol.

[@ghiblinerd6196]

I don’t like the crashes.

[@demonicsweaters]

Sound a million times better than the previous "S" line. They have a cool dry tone, plus look cool.

[@daltonidaho]

I can see these being very popular! Dark cymbals at a reasonable price point. Great drumming Nick!

[@presterjack9764]

The cymbals are dark in colour but they don't sound as dark as B20 cymbals, even the "shiny, bright" A Customs. Tricky marketing

[@rlincey2907]

I like them!!!!! Great sounding mid level cymbals…. I would rather have a 17” instead of the 16” or give you the option of having a 17” and 19” crash!

[@roydied15]

These cymbals absolutely have a time and a place. The crashes sound dull on camera, however if you’re just a weekend/hobbyist drummer like myself and mainly play in the basement or garage with headphones on, they actually sound phenomenal and they’re a little quieter than typical cymbals so they’re not as likely to annoy the neighbors. I absolutely would not gig with them unless it was a really small bar setting with minimal space, but I don’t care because I play bass when I gig. The drums are just for fun and honestly, these are a hard price to beat. Recently picked up a used set in mint condition off eBay for $400 and you can absolutely do no wrong at that price point. They look and sound AWESOME with my Sonor 18” bop kit

[@geomazingarts5599]

I normally prefer sabian/meinl, but wow! These sound very impressive for the price! Very dark, very rich; I'm impressed!

[@ryandrums653]

That ride is the gem of the bunch!

[@brianh5044]

Everyone comments on the cymbals and here I am all excited Nick is playing on a Mapex drum set. 😎 I will say the dark cymbals sound so nice...makes me think of the K lineup for sure.

[@bgnPrinceton]

Nah, Mapex bass drum but the snare looks to be a Ludwig Universal brass.

[@krioni86sa]

Sweetwater are the king of demos!

[@LeviBulger]

I am not a drummer but I absolutely love the sound of certain cymbals and how they combine with certain snares. Not really loving the snare in this video, but these cymbals sound nice and crisp. That ride sounds NICE. Wish I was coordinated enough to actually play drums. Unfortunately just strings and keys for me.

[@davegordon6943]

Dude if you can play the piano and the guitar you can definitely play drums. Haha I play drums because I'm not good enough to play anything else.

[@brandonmclendon5368]

These actually sound really good

[@westonlacewell6955]

These sound amazing. Incredible demo!! The ride is sollllllid.

[@johannjohann6523]

PSS: If you can, and want to be a better drummer - learn how to read regular Treble clef and Bass clef music, not just drum sheet music (which I'm not too fond of. and I'm not saying learn to play other instruments, as much as saying learn how to read music).

[@GabrielXDrums]

@@johannjohann6523 it’s not just to be a better drummer but overall well rounded musician. Went to school for piano, took guitar lessons and learned tablature, then behind all that I was taking lessons on drums for over 5 years privately so I guess I’m good 😅 well rounded.

[@bdilly]

I came for the hi-hats. They sound pleasant for how they're priced. I'd love to have them standalone rather than exclusively in a pack.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

They sound very nice.

[@layz_gaming_4275]

Meinl: hey guys, look at this cool and unique twist we put on our line of midrange cymbals. Zildjian: 😈

[@BrokenRealityYT]

I’m having a really hard time picking between this or the Meinl Custom Classic Darks. If the zildjians were sold individually and maybe came in different sizes it would be an easy win for Zildjian. Meinl has the different sizes and more freedom with my choices.

[@Tyfuzzle]

Having recently bought some classic custom darks, I find the crashes have too much sustain, to the point where it ruins any piece of music involving choking. The ride on the other hand I love. The sustain for the S darks in this vid sound like they have less sustain, but that might just be the recording. I would go for the S Darks if I had to choose one or the other based on this video.

[@presterjack9764]

They don't sound terrible at all on the recording but used thin 'pro' B20 cymbals cost the same. You don't need beginner cymbals.

[@AldoRodSch]

Zildjian is on fire since a while ! 🔥

[@jamescline9032]

Thanks for the review! I play on more of the random sized Zildjian S (15 S thin for top hat, 15 pitch black for bottom hat, 17 S thin crash, 18 ZHT EFX, 24 S ride, 20 S thin crash and 20 S trash) I hope they make some of these in 15 Hats, 17 crash, 19 crash, 21 ride, 23 ride.

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Lets get it! Incredible demo 💯🥁

[@Que934]

Did they really do a meinl?Classics custom DARK rings a BELL.

[@oobernoober7617]

I litterally was thinking the same thing!!!

[@gregorytranchita2676]

Yepp. I have the Meinl. Sound about the same.

[@Multifarious1]

Sounds is about the same, yet these do look better.

[@wurdofwizdumb1928]

Every company rips every company. Some random “no name” company made the first “clapper” and now that’s the new thing. Same with the Mike Portnoy Max Stax and dozens of other designs I can’t sling off the top of my head

are they going to make different sizes? 19/20 inch crashes, 22 inch ride ?

[@josefelix7313]

Señor Virgilio, I love your Jazz-grooves, when you combine the snare and kick together and the dark wash with this puppies, salud!!

dope ride and pretty sweet hats "that thing right there"

Great demo. I love my S rock 22 ride 🤤🥰 It's my favorite all around ride, but of course you can't beat the bell on the mega bell ride 😂🤷‍♂️

ok these sound really good, way better then the minel "dark" version

Instantly I said wow listening from my S22ultra phone

These or the Meinl Custom Dark Cymbal pack? 🤔🤔🤔

[@phillipperez8200]

These S cymbals are just beautiful what's the price for the set?

[@tylerbailey9329]

Lovely hats and ride. Who cares if they're copying Meinl, Meinl copied the Constantinople line. Just be thankful that they're good copies with their personality. Who doesn't like more options?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Exactly and more competition the more the bigger brands have to improve.

[@mnto5879]

Love the ride. But I want a big bell version 😕 I love zildjians mega bell ride same from Minel but mannn are zildjians expensive

[@grachisol8236]

Are these going to be sold separately?

[@DavidOakesMusic]

OMG only $630 for the set? I was expecting a few grand!!!!

[@whistleblowerer6527]

A few grand for these? Cheap alloy, machine made with some dirt on them to call em "dark".

[@rippindrummer666]

@@whistleblowerer6527 the meinls are better than these and I still don’t think those cymbals sound that great other than the fx ones.

Looks like Zildjian got a whiff of how tasty Meinl's CCD's were.

[@philphilison1623]

Very staccato

It's literally just the Meinl Classics Custom Dark. Sounds exactly the same.

Hey Nick is there timeframe for when these will be sold individual I got to get that 18

Is it just me, or does the 18" crash sound higher pitched than the 16"?

still more expensive than the meinl custom darks

[@pearlguy6351]

Not bad only zildjians I own are the old school platinums im a paiste guy though

[@ozzku]

No wonder you’re a paiste guy. The platinums were absolutely a flop. They sound kinda bad.

[@jacobaround2798]

The sass

[@HolyGhostDrummer]

I think it’s funny that Zildjian does it so much better…… with their cheap stuff too 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 USA will do it better every time. All of the time 🤘🏽

[@Juniscrazy]

Which snare is that

[@gabesmusicshow4215]

I like the hi-hats and the ride, but not a he crashes.

[@ErikElling]

How thick are they? Do they work if I like thin style?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Erik! Zildjian doesn’t publish a weight spec on these, but I venture to say that if you like thin crashes especially, that you will like this set. Due to the hammering pattern, these have a dark tone and a quick decay. If you ask me, these are easily the most exciting, non B-20 bronze cymbals on the market. Thanks for the interest!

[@Am71919]

Just give me an earth ride or a vintage K

[@jadonchacon]

The hats and ride are good but gonna be honest not a huge fan of the crashes

[@redlightclinicdrummer]

I stopped using zildjian a long time ago. Those cymbals are glass.

[@RDS-3]

Anyone else bothered by the super wobbly hi-hat stand?

[@johnnysweetly3757]

These are really nice, I want to get a set of these if I ever transcend the barrier between being a dude learning how to play the drums into the land of being a drummer learning how to get better at playing the drums.

[@johannjohann6523]

Hint to good drum sound: Always buy the most expensive cymbals you can afford. New or used doesn't matter. There is a big difference in sound quality where today's drum are the best for the price allowing regular drummers to have nice drums. Also, Because of the quality of the new drum heads, you can can a mid-level kit and make it sound really good. I worked and saved to buy my drums new. Everytime, spent more on the cymbals (since they need stands too) than the drums ( and because I was dumb and sold my kits. yeah don't do that either :)

[@johannjohann6523]

PS I do like the sound of these cymbals, but have always, yes always played Zildjian A series cymbals.

[@JeffGraw]

Eh. Sound pretty plain and one dimensional. Borderline dead. And a promotional video like this is the absolute best case scenario. I thought the regular S hats were a decent "effects hi hat," even if they were pretty terrible outside of that. These just sound like cheap cymbals trying to sound less cheap.

[@MrE1981]

Crashes are garbage. Ride is pretty decent. Hats are ok.

[@Jono_]

lol that ride is a crash

[@whistleblowerer6527]

Crazy huh, who would have thought that could be a thing

[@cpodurnell3701]

They are horrible, the hats are ok. Save some extra scratch and buy A or K.
