Amazing drums what a sound!

More here on the Paiste Stambul: www.cymbal.wiki/wiki/Paiste_Stambul#Stambul_NS12

Love the way you have those tuned. So musical.

Thank you for the Ajax video just got a pair thanks to your video

Vintage Slingerland snare for sure they dont make them like they used to

Great sound of a wonderful white flame finish Sonor Teardrop 6 ply beech shell set,' one of the best drums ever', thanks for sharing. I liked verry much the grooves you played', verry nice, congrats

I've got a set of Ludwig NS12 made by Paiste in their Switzerland Factory. 22" ride, 18" crash w/rivets, 16" crash and 15" Hi-Hats. I love them, but they are an acquired taste and not for everyone. They don't push the volume the way a B20 would and because of that I use them for practice cymbals. Someday I hope to work up the courage to leave my B20's at home and take the Ludwigs to a gig just to see the reaction I get.

That Edgware snare's sound is fire! Is it a 5" or a 4"? That 20" crash ride sounds really nice too man, love the bell sound. I have an Ajax branded 15 inch cymbal from the late 50's to early 60's made out of the same ns12 alloy that came with a free kit, I suspect it used to be a hi hat top or medium to light bottom (about 772gr) or something and it sucks that I don't have the pair but the thing makes an awesome mini crash ride. Ns12 gets a bad rep but it sounds nice for certain sounds and styles i.m.o., let them keep the bad reputation ... means they'll stay affordable.

Sound great !

Great groove!

whats that overhead mic

Are all 1960s zyn cymbals super zyns?

Are all 1960s zyn cymbals super zyn cymbals?

Would you sell or trade any of those Zyn rides?

Is it normal for these to dent if crashed? I have a 20" Omel and its edges look like one of those zildjian blanks they sell

I love your cymbals let me know if they are for sale?

Still have my 404 & 2002 black label crashes. I'm glad l kept them.

I have a 22" Sonar branded ride that sounds nearly the same as the Ajax ride you have (maybe a bit more pingy). It is probably late 60's-early 70's make. It's got a smaller bell than the Ajax one. I got mine as part of my 1st drum kit as a youth.

I have the Beverley 8120, the 14x6,5" version of the cosmic 21. It sound better than the Supraphonic I have had.

Stambul NS12 were made from the early 50's to 1971 when Paiste switched to B8, Stambul's were replaced by the 505 in 1978.

Better than brass for sure, louder isnt it?

Sick beat. Love nickel silver cymbals but keep it a secret will ya

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

SONOR destroys all ! !

I've owned a few Super Zyn and 5 Star Super Zyns, all generally wonderful cymbals... foolishly let them go to buy other cymbals that weren't really any better, just different. I'm intrigued by that 'early' The Super Zyn, that one would date back to the early 1950s...!

Would love to buy that 20" crash ir trade a 20" red label crash for it.

The drums AND cymbals sound damn-near perfect! :) A had an huge collection of Italian Tosco cymbals at one point, including some unobtainium "MM Linea" (hand-hammered) series. ALSO awesome cymbals!

Sabian made the Carmine Appice China out of NS12, to capitalize on it's trashy nature. I also own a Super Tyrko 20" ride that was NS12. Awesome-sounding cymbal! There's really no such thing as a BAD cymbal alloy. It all depends on whether it appeals to you or not, and fits the context of the music. Not everyone likes B20, or B8 either. Many years ago, I reviewed Paiste 101 Brass cymbals for Modern Drummer. While I wouldn't use them live, their dark character and reduced volume made them record real well, as "dead" cymbals usually do.

With touch of, good morning good morning 😉

Klingt mega!

Cool Comparison. What are the exaxt differences between the Champion and the Testdrops? Shells shouls be the same but lugs, hoops and bearing edges might differ (complete roundover vs. sharper immer cut?). Both Sound great though!

Sounds nice Dirty-Dark-Trashy.. Love it ! AJAX ...

hey man, what is the difference between "super zyn", "5 stars zyn" and "Zyn"?

Got the same one but then its called Winston DM-100

Lovely!

Love my suit of German made Paiste Stanoples. These sound great too!

Sweeeeeeeeet! Only seen these in the Premier catalogs until today

Never heard a 2002 24" crash and 16" ride before. Very nice! Have you thought about renting the cymbals to recording studios? Those would sound killer on some jazz and prog rock sessions 🤘

Sounds good!

Nice technique mate... very strangely like watching myself....as I do the little flicks to the left on the hats whilst riding the cymbals and I have my firecracker tuned way up high almost Timbale like... but yeah... solid as a rock yet loose... which I stole off of Clyde Stubblefield... haha. Great vid 👊😷👌

Beyer ribbon mic? Used on tom and floor Tom in machine head recorded by deep purple in grand hotel suisse whit rolling stone studio mobile , over head Neuman u 57 , shure on top head snare , Neumann on bottom., d112 on bass drum , another ribbon for ambient one near drums on soffit and one far drums

Those drums sound just fine to me. Lovely cymbals. I have a 5 Star Super Zyn ride . Fab rock ride, and with a Meinl cymbal tuner (effectively a magnet) it is the perfect jazz ride.

GREAT Comparison . i am pulled toward Teardrops . more overtones more color if you will . have you checked out the new Vintage Series ? How exactly did you use the H4n ? and how di you master it ? thanks , hope to hear back Adam !

NS12 cymbals get so much hate online, why do they sound so hip to me?

Awesome/creative setup!

What is that for a china? On right side? ...stambul 17" ? ...please let me know ;) ...thanks! And good work!!!!

Drums sound dead snare is good but the toms and kick too muffled

cosmic 21 is the winner here:)

damn sounds sweet

How’d u get that kick sounding so big it sounds like a monster 👍
