      Meinl, as a company, is one of my loyalties on this planet, honestly. They make AFFORDABLE products that sound GREAT! 💯 And not just the cymbals... but all of their stuff.
      Most companies make their "affordable line for beginners" and it sounds like absolute trash. Meinl makes their "affordable line for beginners" too... (Brass cymbals and whatnot)... but they put the time into making them NOT sound like shit. They make their B8 Cymbals sound as good as humanly possible, and unlike Paiste and Zildjian, don't make you have to mortgage your house to get them. 💯
      The Classic Custom Dark series sounds great on almost any stage (other than jazz... they ARE LOUD), and I've recorded them in studio to engineers being amazed at how well they record. 💯
      All for 1/4 the price of a set of the (imo) overrated "K's"....

    This might be one of the best videos on this cymbal pack. I don't know why I didn't see this video when researching these. I got this cymbal pack without seeing this particular video and was sort of taking a leap of faith with the "limited" amount of videos I saw of these exact cymbals. I went ahead and got them because they ticked most of the "boxes" I had in mind. I bet I'll like them is what I'm thinking after seeing how you play them. They still got to come in but now I'm more excited about them. You make them sound awesome man. To be half as good or a 1/3 I'd be fine with hahaha. Hopefully get decent with them and of course proper practice. Very cool channel. Thanks for sharing.

    I actually use the 22" Dark Ride in my videos and with heavier studio sessions. Its seriously underrated if you demand a heavy, cutting ride cymbal. I've previously owned the 14" Dark Hats and loved them. I've played the crashes and the Crash-Ride, and they all sound great. The Crash-Ride in particular is a rarity in this price class, as you won't find many crash-able rides with good definition and a usable bell.

    Ive had the 15" hats and 18" crash, and really love them. The crash has a nice dark tone but it is also punchy, it just sounds different. The hats are very versatile, good for more defined playing and can get loud and washy when you open them up. Really versatile cymbals. For the price, these are incredible.

    Great review, great sound. I play Classic Customs darks too. And while I want to be playing Tool and Jinjer, I gig in a Zac Brown Tribute band in Florida and for small venues these things don't even need to be mic'ed up. That 22 inch ride had a ping reminiscent of Vinnie Paul. The 15 inch hats are crisp and dont have the overtones of cheaper metal. And the 20 inch crash is an absolute workhorse. I've heard there is an awesome stack that can be made with a Classics Customs Dark China and splash but havn't tried it myself. Drum on Drummers!

    I guess I bought the "mega" dark classic custom kit... My 8 cymbal kit came with that 22in crash/ride, 16in hi-hat, 18in and 19in crashes, 18in trash china, 16in trash stacker (my favorite sounding cymbal out of the pack) 12in trash splash, and some other 18in regular China. I dont use all of them but to me they arent as heavy as some cymbals. At first the studio engineer said no till he heard them and he too fell in love with the 16in trash stack cymbals. Also I keep my cymbals a decent distance away from my tom mics to keep the bleedthrough down since they are loud. But I find the sound is projected. I look at Amazon and they have them for $1,200 sometimes or $1,600. I got them for much cheaper but I'm super happy with them. They are unique, I get compliments on the road. Plus aside from just using a lint cloth theres not much in the way of cleaning them.
