Nice review, Austin!
Could you, please, make a video about YOUR approach to drum TUNING.
Cheers
Nice….I never really liked the earthly sounds of Meinl , these are more my type.. what would be the price ranges , any idea ?
man! really good sounding cymbals, those hats are amazing!! but you know what? I love even more the way you snare sounds! please, give us a little tutorial of what you use and the way you tune that snare!
They do sound like paistes. But I also think they sound kinda like classics customs. The crashes at least
let’s be honest, these are big band cymbals.
Best review I have seen so far. I bet you were happy when they decided to send you a set, a lot closer to the Sabians you used to play. To me, they definitely have a Paiste sound. Somewhere between 2002 and Sigs.
I’m glad meinl decided to get more clean cymbals into their line. I don’t know about you guys but I’m not a big fan of the dry crashes in the byzance line. (The rides and chinas on the other hand are fantastic)
I still miss the MB20, mb10 and Soundcaster custom, they were great and popular cymbals, why Meinl eliminated that lines?!
Woot!
Paiste 602’s and the Modern Essentials… The Same…
Thank god. I generally like what Meinl has, but that whole dry series sounds like a stereotypical trashcan lid in all the wrong ways.
Meh. I don’t get the point of this line, the Byzance traditionnal already covers the need for general purpose cymbals, and they still have the Meinl sound. Those are much more generic, they sound like Paiste’s. Sure it’s a new option but it lacks personality.
Interesting but it would have been useful to know which cymbals were thin, medium, heavy etc. I can guess of course but would rather have had that info….. Nice kit sound.
I know that this is a cymbal demonstration video but god damn that snare sounds killer!
This whole recording sounds amazing but that snare is tuned perfectly.
MAN that snare is tight!! I love it.
Nice Cymbals. ANYWAY Benny Grebs new track couscous has some mental parts in it. its crying for a study the greats THANKS.
I love that ride 🙂
The hammering and look of these cymbals is very close to Paiste Giant beats.
You’re drum sound sounds supperrr good, huge improvement, it’s getting better
Sound pretty clean. Remind me of Paiste sound
That snare is tight!!! love it.
Those are nice.
Good stuff? I miss seeing your videos…… not as frequent. Is it because you’re so busy with studio/gig work?
Hey Austin,
What do you think about Zildjian K cymbals? I just want to get you’re take on them.
Love the vids man keep it up!
Is this B8 bronze? They sound like 2002 paiste.
Paiste 2002, except $80-$90 less per cymbal,,,,,
so basically Meinls version of a Zildjian A or Sabian AA? Someone already said this but traditional Byzances have alot more character and to me sound a lot better, but I do lean toward darker cymbals for sure.
Fantastic product review, Austin. Thank you for the good talk, and for the great demonstration. Definitely gives a clear picture of what they are, and how they differ from for instance the Byzance Traditional series.
