#Heartbeat cymbals full#
The 20 down to the 16 slightly more full in the mid-range area but more powerful sounding because of this in relative terms to the 22, providing a focused sound and a bit brighter too. If you also like watch cymbals wobble after you’ve hit them, this one is for you. The 22 it was big fat, almost gong like, with a wide spread and a little rough and trashy. What actually happened in terms of sound, based on these particular cymbals anyway, was that it struck me there were three notable levels or sub-groups apparent in the sounds available From the smaller models, I would expect a more (to very, depending on the size) in your face kind of attack with lots of definition and a short decay. What I would therefore generally expect as a ball-park sound-wise is, from the larger models, a wide maybe darkish sound with a big spread after the initial strike. This means on the weight/thickness scale of crashes, they fall pretty much at the bottom. Wash: lots of full spectrum wash, quick decayĪs you’ll have seen from the title, these review cymbals are all paper thin models. Hammering: hand hammered before and after lathing They’re slightly more affordable than the previous packs on this list, meaning you won’t need to spend as much.It’s been a few years since we last looked at any Dream cymbals and particularly anything from the Bliss range. These cymbals will work great in a gospel setting as their dynamic power gives them an edge. The ride has a woody ping with an earthy atmosphere.
They’re dynamically responsive, producing a full tone when played softly. The crashes are both very quick and powerful. They’re fairly dark and complex thanks to the hammering on the surface. They have a cutting chick along with a great washy open sound. The hi-hats have a great balance of power, speed, and projection. It’s a great tool for quick accents within drum fills. It has a trashy tone thanks to the holes drilled into it. The 10” AAX Aero splash is a huge benefit of this set as it isn’t common for cymbal sets to include splash cymbals. The set includes a pair of 14” hi-hats, a 10” splash, 16” and 18” crashes, and a 21” ride. Moving onto some more classic sounding cymbals, the Sabian AAX Praise and Worship cymbal set is loaded with some great cymbals that will work wonders in any church setting. They might seem a bit too dry for some drummers while others will love them. Similar to the K Custom Dark cymbals, these cymbals are a great choice for playing contemporary Christian music. It’s extremely versatile in its tone and sounds great when crashed on. The Transition ride is Mike Johnston’s signature cymbal. It has such an affective sound that is deep and looming, great for finishing off drum fills or crashing in big choruses. The 20” crash is what Mike Johnston calls “thunder butter”. Not everyone is a fan of Meinl’s 18” extra dry crash, but it does its job well. The 18” crash has a lot of similar qualities. They sound seriously dry when played open, meaning they’re not too loud. The hi-hats have a full-bodied tone with a strong chick sound.
#Heartbeat cymbals series#
Each cymbal is from the Byzance series which is Meinl’s top cymbal line. The main theme is dryness, with every cymbal having a short sustain.Ĭoming inside the box is a pair of 14” hi-hats, an 18” extra-dry thin crash, a 20” extra-thin crash, and a 21” Transition ride. Every cymbal has been specifically chosen to create a musical array of tones throughout the set. This cymbal set was developed by Meinl along with Mike Johnston, a world-famous drum educator. You won’t hear them clearly in praise breaks and shout choruses. They’re a bit too subtle for high energy gospel settings. Overall, these cymbals will work perfectly for playing all the famous church songs. This is great as crash riding is a staple in contemporary Christian music. It produces a great sound when being crashed. The ride cymbal is the best in the set and has such a beautiful tone that you’re going to want to play it all the time. Their open sound is very washy, creating a great platform for choruses where you don’t want to play the crash cymbals.
The hi-hats have a distinctly warm tone and mix within grooves. They’re not too loud when crashing hard which is great for any venue where sound is an issue and you still want to play with high energy. The crash cymbals take mallet rolls very well, producing a warm swell that subtly increases in volume.
They’re subdued without sacrificing any tone or richness. Each cymbal is made from a cast bronze that gives them a distinctly dark tone. Included in the cymbal pack is a pair of 14” hi-hats, 16” and 18” crashes, and a 20” ride. These cymbals have a mellow tone with a fast decay that makes them perfect for that Sunday morning session. When thinking about playing drums in church, the K Custom Dark series will always come up as a topic of conversation. K Customs are Zildjian’s most famous line of high-quality cymbals.
