@andyham6094 2 года назад

Been waiting for this one. Best cymbals in the world to my hands and ears. Meinl traditional and brilliant byzance cymbals are just the all around versatile cymbals I use for everything. For practice I use the extra dry and vintage line for lower volume and dry sound. My favorite cymbals are the 14 inch byzance traditional thin hats, 18 inch brilliant thin crash, the 21 inch byzance traditional polyphonic ride, the 22 inch byzance vintage pure light ride, and the 20 inch byzance traditional China.

@opiedrums6969 2 года назад

To me, Meinl is the only company that has every sound scape covered. Others try but just don't do it as well. I like that they went with their own sounds and then came back towards the traditional sounds and nailed those as well.

@Ashlord 2 года назад

Absolutely agreed. They have the traditional cymbals and they have dark, ugly and trashy sounding cymbals.

@Jack-52 2 года назад

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

@SmangItDrums 2 года назад

I've owned and played just about every series from Meinl (except for the Foundry Reserve), and I can say that they're the real deal. Their cymbals have consistently been great, the quality has been outstanding, the customer/warranty support has been second to none, and their commitment to innovating and covering every side of the tonal spectrum has them being heads and shoulders above the other manufacturers. This video was well done, with both the cymbals and even the drums sounding top notch. If I have one criticism for the video, it's the exclusion of the HCS Bronze series. It's easy to exclude them because they're less expensive and made of B8, but considering they're Meinl's only B8 line with its own range of specialty models (trash splash, trash crashes, trash chinas, and bells), it only makes sense to include them with the rest of their lineup.

@gaffroman 2 года назад

Have to agree. My 15" foundry reserve hi hats are my pride and joy. Love my sand ride, but I have to say they have to age to sound their best - the new ones like on this video don't sound the same, needs a few years of patina on it! Other than that, 18" dual crash, 20" extra thin hammered crash, 20" equilibrium China, fat stack, baby stack, and 8" brilliant splash, but I have my eye on a few more..

Fantastic stuff boyz -- thanks for doing this. I have a set of the Meinl Traditional's (the same set you all used but I think my ride is a 21") that I've had since 2013. To my ears they're the most even and overall pleasing sound to me that can pretty much work for almost any style depending on the player. Record really well which is important to me. From this vid I also really like the Brilliant and Pure Alloy Custom. Interestingly, for ride cymbals I favor the Dual or Dark line, so,...I will probably mix one of those in here soon. I also like the Sand ride.

Meinl is the only company that accounts for every cymbal line to mix and match when they design their cymbal sounds. The only complaint I have, that would be absolutely awesome, is a raw bell hybrid that was 3000 g's or more. The raw bell ride was a cutting ride, but it was dark and usually in the 3600 g range.

@buhlir Год назад

@strong_voice_of_truth 2 года назад

I remember when they were junk 3rd rate cymbals ( at least the ones I saw in the 80s). They have really come a long way. Impressive sounds.

@Hannibu 2 года назад

Yes, back in the days they only made budget cymbals which sounded cheap. The first Meinl which sounded good to my ears were the Raker (late 80ies) and Amun (in the late 90ies). With the Bycance they entered the top brands of cymbal manufacturers.

Those Pure Alloy Customs sound fantastic and embody everything I want to hear in a crash cymbal and more. Nice cutting attack with a quick, breathy, and complex medium-low undertone that lets you know it's there before getting out of the way right on time. Because of the way you guys are really attacking the crashes, this is the best Meinl crash demo I've heard to date. Fantastic job as usual. Also, I don't know if it's the mics, the Weathermasters, or both, but those Ludwig toms are throatier and more attack-laden than any Ludwig demo I've seen you guys make!

@jackbrimm9833 2 года назад

This is a brilliant idea, brilliantly executed. Thank you for providing such a valuable service. Sure, a drummer interested in these cymbals will still want to play them live in a store before making such an investment. But this video is much superior to the usual sound samples on manufacturer sites, which either give you an identical pattern played on the cymbal with no other drums or cymbals in the sample (Paiste), or give you that plus the cymbals played along to a generic rock track (Sabian). This video lets you see and hear the cymbals played by a live drummer you can witness with your own eyes. Crucial project, perfectly executed. Ten out of ten. Cheers!

I am currently using the A custom line but with quick beat hats and loving that especially the 21" sweet ride. However, after listening to that Byzance Brilliant ride I might have to invest asap.

@@escadrums2 also each cymbal is hand hammered so even the same exact size and model will sound different from each other based on weight and slight human differences in the hammering but mostly the weight. I would never buy a Meinl cymbal off a site like sweetwater or guitar center cause you are just hoping to get lucky and find the right sounding one. They are all gonna sound great but some are drier than others or trashier or heavier or thinner and so on. I only buy my meinls on mycymbal Memphis drum shop or other sites like that where you can hear the demo of the EXACT cymbal you are purchasing and buy that exact one in that demo.

loved the video like any other videos you guys make. I find all the drum content you guys make entertaining and so good even if I don't care for the topic haha. The foundry reserves are definitely my favorite Meinl cymbals. I have to say though that I personally was a little disappointed to how they felt. They sound buttery but don't feel buttery :( Also quick question in your guy's drum comparison videos is there any audio processing being done in the "full mix"? If there is I know it is very minimal but was just wondering if there's even the slightest being done.

@drumcenternh 2 года назад

There is processing done in the full mix. I am careful to preserve the character and detail, so I do as little as possible. Mainly there is subtle EQ to get the sound closer to what it really sounds like in the room since microphones hear things differently than your ears do.

@dave_sanderson 2 года назад

Great video! I've got Meinls across all Byzance lines except Dual and Extra Dry and this video speaks pretty accurately to the differences between lines. One or two of the cymbals here I have and they sound a little different in my space (to be expected) to the recordings here - as a tool to understand the ranges this is excellent. Any prospective shoppers should also be aware there are some gems hidden within these ranges which aren't featured here (22" Raw Bell Ride for instance) which are kinda like unique outliers. Again, really excellent work team!

For someone who has been a long time Sabian aficionado, I think this great video and demonstration of Meinl cymbals has me more interested! Do you have any general series and pairing recommendations for someone with a combination of AAX, AA and HH series Sabians? I've typically gone for the bright sounds, but I'm not really certain I want to make the jump to Meinl's brilliant cymbals as I really enjoy some of the vintage and darker, washy sounds, and so far I'm not digging the brilliant sounds of Meinl, such as the classic customs.

I would never have considered listening to Meinl cymbals if DCP hadn't done a video on them because I only took Zildjian, Sabian and Paiste seriously. Didn't know what I was missing. I especially liked the Traditional, Brillant and Jazz lines but they were all impressive. I'm actually shocked at how good the line sounds. Thanks guys, for always producing such great and informative videos. And the Ludwig kit was incredible. From a sound perspective it's tough to beat their Classic Maple line.

Agreed on all accounts! Meinl has some seriously great cymbals.

In my opinion i think having the classic custom dual crash , the 15 inch dry hi hat , the byzance extta thin hammered crushed ride and thr fx cymbals of your choice is the most versatile choice so you can play most genres

15" foundry reserve hihat, 18" jazz extra thin, 22" dual crash ride or 22" extra dry medium ride, 19" dual crash. It's the setup that i'm in love with. Should i include 10" vintage trash splash? 😁

Obviously throw in the splash!

Man generally Sabian resonates with me the most but I gotta say, those Pure Alloy and Classics Custom Dark sound so badass. So much energy in them.

As a Sabian user for many years, once you go Meinl, you never go back.

I live in a city where every single music store has closed but one Piano store that sells you guessed it pianos. So these demos and others are critical for me to decide on gear.
