Jobeky Low Volume Real Feel Cymbals Review 

Didn’t expect them to be so quiet. Hopefully they send you a whole set to review.. would love to know more about the high hats and ride. So far I’m impressed.

Your videos are comprehensive, well-spoken, paced, and helpful. Thank you.

I have a full set of the Jobecky Dark Bronze. Also it advertises as "no plastic boxes" but all came with a plastic box. I wrote to Jobecky about it and all they had to say was "Don't worry, the plastic boxes won't break.". I'm pretty pleased with the performance. I got 6 cymbals including a Splash, a TWO piece Hi-Hat and a 20" Ride. The looks are great!

Nice review, and I am impressed so far. Jobeky, if you are listening, send Justin a complete set to put to the test. Would love to hear a session jam with all of your entire lineup.

A great way to stop the cymbal rotation is an Aquarian Cymbal Spring I used these with a Visu-lite (not sure of the spelling) electronic China cymbal back in the day to stop the rotation and it worked great.

Hey Justin, I have a 14,16 inch crash , a10 inch splash and the 18 inch China. So far I really dig them. If you spend the time to dial in the settings, you can get the triggering pretty much equal to a Roland cymbal imo. I do agree that the biggest downside is the lack of a rotation stopper, which I’ll most likely diy a fix for. Cheers

Thanks so much for this. The video, like your others, is most useful. I've been holding off a LV purchase until now but think I deserve a late Xmas present to myself! Seasonal greeting from the UK. Cheers Chris - one of the people requesting this review!

Please do a full review of the bundle pack, crash, hi hat, and ride.

Hej Justin. I have bought these in 14" hihat,14" crach, 16" crash and 18" Ride.And I am very satisfied with all of them.I had som problems with the hihat at first, but then i took the felt disc that was between the hihat controller, and the top hihat away ,and now the responce works wery well,after some adjust on my Roland TD 17 modul.With the Crash and Ride cymbals, i haven`t spent a lot of time, to get them to work well. To avoid them to spin arround, i have bought Aquarian Cymbal spring with a felt disc on the top(Bought from Drumtec.de) Thanks for your videos.

Jobeky seem a very cool little company - they are giving drummers what they ask for without much BS. Their full kits are surprisingly affordable compared to to some of the other 'real look and feel' brands. I'm just an amateur who uses a cheap e-kit for recording but I must admit I'm kind of surprised that some of this gear is within my reach.

Great video. Jobeky sent me a couple of their brilliance series real feels and I love them and had similar results using an Alesis Crimson module.

Okay, so I'm running Arborea LV Cymbals with my Cymbal Triggers ON THE CYMBAL STAND before the Articulating Arm and mounted directly on there with the two screw holes using clip ties to secure it. I am NOT getting ANY double triggering, or false triggers, or ghost notes other than what I'm playing through my Module. The vibration from my cymbal strikes are more than enough to transfer even the dynamics to the Module easily. This is better than the Zildjian Gen16 for my setup because not only can I play my LV Cymbals with ease but I can also trigger my MIDI notes if recording OR I can MUTE my cymbals with Cymbal Mutes, use the Headphones for more quiet triggered practice, etc... It's very versatile and you do NOT need to mount your Cymbal Triggers on the Cymbal to make them work GREAT like mine! Also I DO mount my Hi Hat Bottom Cymbal ONLY with a Trigger and I DO take it off from time to time for the most natural play with my Electronic Drums and Module BUT I also use the Alesis Pro X Hi Hat Controller WITH my LV Cymbals by putting the Hi Hat Controller on the Bottom Mount directly on the Cup and then the Spring. On top of the Spring I put my Mounting Plate and Felt and Bottom Cymbal, and use the Clutch as ususal. This works GREAT and has EXCELLENT TRIGGERING and sounds! Very ultra sensitive and fun to play with the Spring Assisted REAL CYMBALS! No mutes here, just bottom trigger and custom controller!

Wow! Very quite, huge difference! Merry Christmas!

To me , it really seemed quieter than the rubber and I really like the look of them and as you demonstrated , they make a nice crash . But first , I would have to keep that from spinning right from the start . Besides it driving me crazy it would damage the cable. The ride and hi hats may hold promise and the price seems right. Until I know more I will just stick with my VH10, CY12s and CR13. Great info as always ! Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year to you !! Keep up the good work !

Could you please do a video on a full set of jobeky low volumes cymbals so we can get a good guide of how they feel and trigger compared to like a roland Vh10 or 11. Thanks.

Very timely review because I was thinking about getting a set of the ride, crash, and hats. Thanks very much!!

Nice man. This looks cool. Didn't seem louder. Just a different frequency. I'd like to see u review a whole set

You could probably jury rig a "spin limiter" by threading wire through 2 holes positioned side by side and anchoring the other end to the holder end of the stand.

Aquarian cymbal springs work great to stop rotation.

Hey Justin, nice work as usual. But I really can't dig the rubber ones... Can you do a review of a L80 with the Stealth trigger? I already try 3 different ways to trigger my L80 set. Now I was wondering if the Stealth system is a good way. Thanks in advance!

Justin. I like this line the best....for me. The ATV are undoubtedly the best because of the 360* playing and they look good. But the are astonishing expensive. $500 for hats. I could buy some Meinl 15” for that. All electronic cymbals are loud. If you have a bass player next to you on stage he will be aggravated by the sound. The Jobecky real feel are quiet and very inexpensive and they look good. If and when I buy them I will buy the Aquarian spring . Same goes for the ATV Pro. Very expensive. Crappy module. I like the 3 position cones. Great idea. But Jobecky has a great 6 piece set for about $1200! Shells only. I love the poplar ocean fade color. Awesome really. You get the 3 ply heads . I assume the Drum-tec real feel will fit on the Jobecky drums. People who own them give high praise. Add a TD-17 with SD3 and....wow! What a great ekit.

Hi! i bought some of these cymbals! I put rubber tips on one of my Drumstick pair when i want to be quiet. It’s working very well! I put some big washer on bottom to add some weight. I really love the feel. Like Justin said, thé cymbal spinning a lot and i would love to have a 360 edge triggering.

Hey bud good to see you finally got around to trying something like this , c mon lol they feel much better than rubber don't they lol ????👍

zildjian makes rotation stoppers for their gen16 cymbals, they would probably be compatible with the jobeky's i think

Hey Justin, I bought a set of jobeky cymbals and at first the contact was way too loud cause I play it through my PA system with my band. I almost got rid of it until I added cymbal mutes to dampen the contact. Huge difference. It was floppy at first so I zip tied it through the holes. Also use a Aquarian cymbal spring to prevent spinning.

Good video, Im in the process of doing my cymbals although I gonna just use paizo or however you say it.way smaller footprint. BTW great video. Might you make a video on Drumlite and maybe possibly on more ways to get our kits looking more acoustic. Im with you ...MAKE MY DRUMS BIGGER THAN 8"!!!! LOL

Hello Justin, I’m contemplating getting the China 18 inch in silver to play with my td50, I think for the price is a good buy, I was going to buy the atv China but it is almost ridiculous to pay $450 for a cymbal, I got the 10 inch splash from Atv and I think is just ok, do not like the fact that they spin too much as well. For electronic drums having the feature is not very useful. Anyway great review as usual thanks

Ay thanks man for this review.

When you began hitting the cymbal, I started cracking up. I don't know why I expected the sound to be like a cymbals with all the rubber around it.

your l80 cymbal test killed my soul

Nice, I'd really like to try it. The ride and hi-hats too.

Impressive you and the cymbal

I love my set of Jobeky LV cymbals. One thing though, how do you get it from rotating?

Hi.all the lights weights.low noise of sounds, cymbals ...super .great products of the years.....Asia 's , are hunger for it.china' s cymbals too.you are so good.great things .to share with......thanks...

Wow, I have just realized that building e drum kits are easier than ever! Expensive, but easy.

I'd like to see a review on the go edrum LV 360 side by side with jobeky

has anybody tried this on an alesis controller? Nitro, command, strike etc... ? My worry with the nitro end of the scale, which is what I have, is that there is not enough trigger setup options in the module, there is just threshold, sensitivity and crosstalk, I don't ever recall seeing a re-trigger cancel option in the module. The 3 zone ride looks interesting if it is compatible.Thanks

Great Review! I'm looking to buy a set!

Justin, have you tried the other Jobeky cymbals such as the Brilliance Real Feel, or the Dark Bronze? Jobeky was sending the Brilliance Series (or was it the basic brass series, dont remember exactly) but now looks like they are sending their drum kits with these LV cymbals. Wondering if the durability or triggering is better with the LV. Havent seen a comparison video between the 2 yet. Thanks :)

I want to see you cover Magnatrack triggers for LV cymbals. I have some L80's I want them on.

Congratulations Justin for your chanell...very useful informations....did you noticed if the holes of this cymbal damage the wooden tip of the sticks ??

I would not like that rotation either. I've changed my setup also. I'm continuing to use my acoustic set but with Roland triggers. I've ordered the td_17 because of the price and new features. I'm going to use my acoustic cymbals too. But I'd like a cheap electronic cymbal too. I see Pintech 10" on Amazon for like $ 20. I only want crashes. I'm using EZ2 and presonus iTwo. The little cymbals could sound like huge China's or a splash. I would use the sounds from ez 2 . Does that idea sound correct? Thanks, Greg

Like this.love all cymbals.spend all my moneys on it.$5000 .can buys, how many cymbals ? One sets of four cost ? Totals, will be ?

Wouldn't the rotation be stopped by angling the cymbal down slightly, using the additional weight of the trigger to resist spinning?

Looks quite nice, I hope you get to test the hihats. Do you think they might be able to compete with the VH-11?

Actually Goedrum has the same thing And it doesn't need a rolling stoper Because it is full surface Just like a acoustic cymbals

Hi Justin just a thought. Do you think the surface of the cymbal could rough up your sticks potentially damaging mesh heads

The Magnatrack 16” crash’s rubber rim can be taken off without false triggering. The choke device on it works really well and the triggers take up so little weight and space. That said, Magnatrack is not ready for prime time and the customer support and service is lacking greatly with orders that take as much as 2 months to arrive. It seems more like a side hobby than a business which is a shame because their triggers are better designed than anything on the market.

Can you do a video on drumsticks - how are those Firegrain ones? I’m thinking of getting some pairs.

If I can sell my TD-25 Module? I might buy a Set. 😉

Anyone know if Jobeky real feel cymbals are compatible with the Pearl mimic pro module? I can’t find this info on the Jobeky website

My church just got a Jobeky drum kit with this cymbals,they sound good but not as good to my EFnote 5 ones.

I guess this is ALL about "looks" first which is does score well on.

Awesome vid

One thing was not clear to me. Which one was actually louder? The rubber cymbal looked like it was the loudest because of more "bassy" sound. But then again the metal cymbal could be louder through high pitch.

Cymbal triggering with 2box is much better. Swell is more natural as well.

Interesting. Pretty silent. But the spinning is a no go. I am looking forward they send you the entire set for a test.

Hey Justin, Would this worth with an Alesis Strike set? What preset would I use?

Hi Justin. Thanks a lot for the rview. How well does it sepearate Edge/bow sound ? do we need to hit the edge with a certain angle to get the edge sound ? Thanks

Do you know if there is any import tax on these coming into the United States?

Hey Justin could you review the Jobeky prestige line of drums? I really like the look of these drums but can they trigger as good as Roland or atv drums?

How do these compare to the Pintech LTE cymbals?

They cant use the notched groove on the inside of the cymbal like Roland does because they can get sued for intellectual property. And they obviously cant do the yamaha spike through the hole, cause thats Yamahas intellectual property. I did something very similar with a paper clip which you can hardly see through one of the holes which works well for me.

Does this cymbal cause any of the sticks to chip? Wouldn’t want the mesh heads ripping because of a damaged stick.

hi, i hope you're staying safe in lockdown. do you have any tips on the setup for jobeky real feel hi-hats? i just can't get the open hi hat sound anywhere close to acoustic sound. maybe they're just not very good not sure

Can you use low volume cymbals on a cable snake???? On td17kvx

I’ve recently converted my Sonor force 1500 to an electronic kit and bought the Jobeky cymbal pack. Really struggling with the hi-hat. It just sounds like an open hi hat permanently. Have set it to vh-11 on the td-30 as recommended but that doesn’t help. Any ideas?

Try it with an Aquarian cymbal spring. It make stop the cymbal from spinning about.

How working with Yamaha DTX PROX?

I was wondering, since these are metal, would there be any crosswalk issues if they were placed on a rack?

Are they quiter than other lines of jobeky e cymbals?

Pleeeease tell us about your gong drum how did you mount it??

How do you keep it from spinning and getting the wire tangled? My OCD was going crazy.

maybe a yamaha cymbal rotation stopper would work on these

There sick

can the rubber rings be taken off or do they have to stay on?

Crash. Hihat.ride.china.and more......go for all brands.done.collecting soon....

Has anyone found a good way to keep these cymbals from rotating while playing?

Actually they are not so cheap, from what I've seen

i take it from your setup video the rest of the kit didnt end up arriving,shame

Jo Becky

Save up your money and buy a set of Zildjian L-80's.

Hi

Greetings friend, my name's Chris Defiance, and I wanted to ask you if you know any talented guitarists and/or drummers that might be interested in being an alternate, fill in, or permenent member for my old metal band. We're currently looking to play some shows in and around texas, and also looking for a few other bands to tour with later this next year. Our music is on RU-vid and my band is called Foretold Defiance, sorry to spam, lmfao... also if you know any bands looking for a frontman please send them my way, looking to do some new projects also, thanks for your time - 👍🤘✌👻🌶

Yo

0:25 is the exact reason why I still refuse to waste my money on a Roland module. They just sound terrible.

1:41 why are you so angry with these cymbals

If your Rolands do swells better, mine will do swells better. This is a deal breaker.
