25 Years of A Custom Cymbals - A Drum Chronology by Kye Smith 

Thanks again for having me on board for this guys, it was an honour to be a part of the celebration!

Kye is phenomenal, he deserves way more attention

4:04 "These kelloggs were not supposed to look like this"

I never thought it was possible to make such a smooth transition between TØP and gojira

I see the A Custom china has been artfully hidden as far away as possible 😂

It was nice “Riding” with you. Get it cause the 25th anniversary cymbal was a ride cymbal

What a excellent video. Nice touch with the subtle camera angle showing the drummers on the wall during their songs.

Thank you Vinnie C. for all you did to help develop these cymbals. You are owed a huge amount of praise along with the master craftsmen/women of Zildjian.

Legends.. all of them...

Men how can you not love A Customs, i love every single one of those songs, for me the best lines of cymbals ever are A Customs, K (dark and lite) and Meinl's Byzances

YOOOOOOO!!! My boy Rob Bourdon is represented!👌

A little off topic, but congrats Zildjian on uploading in 4K quality. I remember when all we had from this channel was 240p

It's crazy how well these cymbals fit with every genre!

WHEN I COME AROUND AND SAY IT AINT SO

That was fantastic

Didn't expect Metalcore to be in. I was like HOLYSHIT at parkway drive

Couldn't have picked a better drummer for this Kye always kills it with stuff like this 👍👊

omg I heard say it ain't so by weezer like 5 years ago I never knew the name and I swear to god it's been stuck in my head the whole time thx kye.

Definitely the prettiest cymbals around, both in sound and look.

A little disappointed they left out Jay from Slipknot but stoked they had Mario from Gojira.

Tre cool A custom rocks zildgian I love you!!

Omg! Just as I was looking at Paiste 2002 now I see this! Love A Customs! Zildjian user here! Love it!

Simply Kye Smith , Excellent.

Those cymbals are shinier than any Olympic gold medal I've ever seen holy fuck

Great video! And great drummer And of course, great cymbals

Btw, the drummer on If I Ever Lose My Faith In You was Vinnie Coiliuta.

Kye Smith,congratulations!!!

When I saw Against Me! I screamed. There are so good! Great job Kye!

Say it ain't so is on here and I shall be happy forever

14" A / A Custom hats have the most distinctive open slush sound of any contemporary hi-hat IMO

Is it just me or is this the first video he’s made with a double pedal

I use a 16" a custom thin crash over a 16" a custom medium crash as hi hats and they are the shit

Some absolute belters in this one!

So I know Longineu Parsons of Yellowcard switched to Zildjian at some point in his career, but I was under the impression that at the time of Ocean Avenue he still played Sabian...

My favorite drummers in this Video Pat Wilson Weezer Tré Cool Green Day Lars Ulrich Metallica Travis Barker Blink 182 And of Course Dave Grohl Queen of Stone Age

Kye Smith! Holy shit! this is what he was up to? Props to you man!

Amazing drummer. The guy just showed us that he can play anything.

There should be a Spotify playlist for this.

Great video! Good to see Zildjian support a cover artist.

More Kye Smith!!!!!

Love watching you play man that was some great drumming man!

Romance is dead with one Fucking foot... crazy

Very creative! Well played.... Bravo

Well deserved for Kye, he's a beast!

This is brilliantly done @kyesmith

so many bangers

This displays how versatile these suckers are😲

Wow. Just now realized so many of my influences as a drummer also play A Customs...prolly why ive always had them :) :)

Awesome!

Wow!!!!!!! Perfect !!

Kye ur great man! Keep grinding!

I love u kye fav drummer I have the same setup

joe sirois plays sabian. pretty sure he always has. definitely did at the time let's face it was released. you can see them in the impression that i get video.

This video is great!. I doubt Ronnie Vanucci recorded with A Custom hats/ride, just my 2 cents. Amazing video, I love my A Customs!

Very cool!

Wow !! So amazing !! You even know how to used double peds..

Props for including big homie Greiner

What a talented dude

fantastic drummer

Well I guess that just about "covers" it! Rad job Kye and Zildjian!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I've been wondering what is the cymbal sound in the intro of every video? Keep making awesome videos and cymbals Zildjian. My dream is to someday be a part of the family, but for now I am more then happy to buy my zildjians for the time being.

this is so cool! (i hope he got to keep those cymbals)

Kye Smith makes even shitty songs sound/look good. I'm speaking mostly about Creed.

Excellent video! But in the first song you forgot to name Vinnie Colaiuta.

You rules man!

Nice work

Sick Videooooooo!

Thank god Matt Helders is on here

MY MAN KYE!!!

Great video!

You need to do a 5 min video of park way drive

The best drumer in the world

Wooooo!!!

Kye Smith you are a perfect drummer!i think you like very much tre cool,travis barker,josh dun!do you play in a band or something?and have you ever gone to a conservatory or took some lessons when you were kid?

Yeah! no 5sos #5sosIsNotPunk

Kye using double-bass?!?! Why was I not notified?

now that's a medley!

I got an idea for a video: combine every drum chronology that uses zildjian cymbals

I love how it ended with Gojira's "Stranded"!

No offense Kye, but this is probably one of the best mix of songs in one of your drum chronologies

very cool. Great job

Nathan Followill played Paiste on that song and record.

Best ending ever!

Really wish you would've shown the china a bit more... Mainly interested in how that sounded more than anything tbh

Awesomely done! Should be 'Followill' at 3:41 though.

Ok this makes me want to spend my money on a customs again now

Love my A Custom crashes. By the way, how does one find out what cymbals were used on a track?

I thought Ronnie Vanucci (The Killers) played Zildjian K cymbals... Was he playing A Customs when recording Mr. Brightside? Sweet video by the way!

this is fucking sick

I'm a huge fan of yours, but you really messed up at "Do I Wanna Know" lol. BTW super cool mix

Kye Smith is my actual dad

O yes

I didn’t know Tony romo could play drums!!

Neat

Awesome. My only a custom was a rezo crash, what happen to thoses?

If I'll ever loose my faith i'll go crazy

Speaking of patrick wilson can you do a weezer 5 minute chronology

also i didn't know you're a fan of parkway, sick!

Green Day, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Killers, Kings of Leon, Muse, Arctic Monkeys? So what you're saying is that all my favourite bands use Zildjian cymbals?
