    I just bought the Brilliant's. I think they all sound incredible but the 16" crash is the best I've ever heard. I've been a casual (cellar dweller) drummer for almost 50 years and have played most of the brands out there. None have ever come close to this. It is crystal clear and cutting.

    all I've used for years are high end sabians (aax-plosions, hhx evolutions), but recently I cracked my main crash and decided to try something different, so I grabbed the 18'' and 19'' dark crashes, and they are the best crashes I've ever used by a mile. the wash, the feel, the way they open up when you play them... an absolute dream to play and are PHENOMINAL recorded. cannot suggest enough.

  • @jeffbridges6110

    Great sounding cymbals. If I were to pick a mix-n-match set from these cymbals using my ears , it would be as follows: 14" Dark Hats , 16" & 18 " Custom Crash , 20" Dark Ride . Then I'd add an 18" Classic Custom Trash China , and a 10" Dark Splash. That would be a wonderful set of cymbals.

  • @Jarhead6820
    @Jarhead6820 Před 5 lety +1

    The Dark crashes sound higher in pitch than the normal one’s. I considered buying either of them but settled for Zildjian S. Problem with those is that they have to much sustain for my liking and you really have to play into them to get their bright sound. These are cutting and them gone. I like it. Might buy them when a I get my new set.

  • @jonedwardsdrums7189
    @jonedwardsdrums7189 Před 4 lety +4

    I use an 18" Classics Custom Medium Crash and the 18" Classics Custom Dark Crash.. same size but so much character in the both of them, I do prefer the Dark series, I also have the 14" hats and I freaking love them!

  • @healyhurst8159

    Winners:
    Hats: Brilliants
    16" crash: Brilliants
    18" crash: Darks
    20" ride: Brilliants
    I wish some of these cymbal companies would let us mix and match our own cymbal sets from similar lineups. Mix Byzance with Byzance, Pure Alloy with PA Customs, and different Customs with different Customs. I would absolutely go for a set with the above mix of Brilliant and Dark.

    I play in a small area, so these would have been the good rock/big band/country with even the dark series. Zildjian now makes a dark set too, ,thankfully we have these good videos! I went with Zildjian S and I family, but these Meinl custom line always sounded really awesome. They are still loud, because Megadeth's drummer now uses some dark customs.

    Have basically the entire dark set besides my polyphonic ride and a thick Zildjian crash, cymbals are stupid nice. Really good for the price, and work super well for my style of music. I'm on more of the deathcore side of shit especially recently, and I can't recommend these enough for any metal.

    Great playing! I just don't see how you can play like that lol, it's like your fulcrum point is non existent. It looks as if your sticks may go flying out of your hands at any second. I usually have about 3/4 of an inch of my sticks coming from the bottom of my hands. Everyone's different but once again great chops ya got there bro!

  • @BobbyJetty1502
    @BobbyJetty1502 Před 3 lety

    The darker series sounds thin and cheaper this is just my opinion. The regular brighter classics sound more like the a custom series from zildjian. I would think that the standard classics custom would be much more versatile and for the money very worth it

      I use the Meinl cymbal cleaner, gets them looking back to original and doesn't mess with the finish or logos (if that matters to you) but there's probably other cleaners out there that are similar, just not sure if the same. The also have a protectant and a polish. The protectant keeps them cleaner longer, at least in my experience.
