I know this demo is about the cymbals, but can we appreciate how the recording custom drums can literally do anything ??

[@JCordoba1001]

They sound just as bad as they used to!

[@haydenwilliamson6747]

I’m so excited about this. I always thought they had potential. They just needed to work out a few kinks. They were way too heavy. I always regretted not buying them back in the day. I’m gonna get some this time

[@MrCopacetic23]

That ride and China… I didn’t know how much I missed it.

[@haydenwilliamson6747]

Boy howdy

[@VjeranHursijević]

two z mega bell rides like Gene Hoglan used in mid 90's . Gene bring Zildjian back, fuck Sabian .

[@troyseal9877]

The crashes sound good. I never liked the z chinas and the hi hats were mediocre. That being said the original megabell is the goat metal rides. ALL these new big bell rides are garbage in comparison to the original. The rides of that era were on point for metal. The 22" heavy and light power rides where awesome, the earth ride was great and for the most metal ride ever was the original z series megabell. Hasn't been duplicated since.

[@camerondean6804]

I think they sound great for rock applications. Wonderful drumming showing them off.

[@hiptoalieu]

WE NEED THE SPLASHES!

[@AP02112]

They have jumped in price way too much.

[@kevinswan8311]

Great drummer! 🙏

[@percusshawn]

Great drummer, the Z cymbals sound just as awful as I remember. It is remarkable how rudderless and lacking innovation Zildjian has become over the past 5-6 years...

[@DaveWilson831]

yep.. bronze trash can lids

[@TheDroc1990]

Sabian AAX will solve this problem.

[@rickjones507]

quite musical for heavy metal cymbals. big Z has done it again

[@hiptoalieu]

EXACTLY what I was thinking... the 18" crash is actually a REALLY good high volume rock crash!

[@MemoRiosDrummer]

I've Been Usind this series guess for almost 15 years and it was so hard to find it used cymbals of this series, now that are back, yesterday just watch the prices, an im going to stiil be using the used for someone else 8 years after they goy purchased jajajajaja damn it

[@frenziedfortressdrums]

Missed the 15” hats

[@jacklaplante4143]

That’s Ittttttt j’voulais tellement ce video la ❤️🥲🌈❤️

[@goddamnzordan]

crazy how good they sound

[@hiptoalieu]

I like the 17 and 19 a LOT!

[@user-zx6lf5so4w]

19 inch?

[@Timpanopercussion]

Yes! @ 5:31

[@bizrizedebag]

If I'm going for that kind of sound I would use the S series. And I play A and A customs. These sound just weird to me.

[@gillespittet8705]

I like the 20 inch crash and love the ride. Kudos to Zildjian

[@mitchmitchum7602]

Hi hat is setup like 💩

[@hiptoalieu]

I am really really IMPRESSED!

[@bacongl]

I still have my Z Custom 21 Inch Mega Bell Ride and 18 inch China from the mid 90s. Some of the best cymbals I ever bought. They pair well with Zil Bels. The Z Custom crashes are too heavy for me though. I prefer the A and A Custom crashes and splashes. I also use the Z Custom lower 15 inch hat with an A Custom top. Once again the Z Custom top hat was just too heavy for my taste. I am glad they brought these back, the prices were getting pretty crazy.

[@defregano]

The new Z crashes are much thinner than previous Z’s. Even thinner than A custom projection crashes.

[@gnosticnomad8389]

The best China I’ve ever owned was stolen years ago. It was a z custom 20”. Absolutely incredible cymbal. Never found one that sounded the same. Currently rocking a 17” K
