Funny that when I clicked on this video I never would’ve imagined that it was going to be one of the best sounding demos of this pack on youtube, including all of the usual big channels that demo drum gear. I can actually hear the cymbals clearly in this. Great job man!
Thank you! Really appreciate that and thanks for watching. My first product demo, sometimes you don't know how they will turn out lol. I hope to do more soon 🤙
The 20” extra thin hammered crash is my favorite crash. You should check out the Meinl Jazz Thin crash if you haven’t already. And the foundry reserve hats
@@JoshParkerDrums yea I’ve owned it. It’s great if you crash your ride a lot. But it wasn’t for me. My biggest gripe with Meinl is I haven’t found a ride I truly love from them. So all my hats & crashes are Meinl but my rides are still Paiste. I want to try the Meinl Raw Bell ride or a thin extra Dry ride tho
@@JustinHubbard84 That raw bell might just be it for ya man. I tend to agree man, finding a ride bell that cuts just right is a process for sure. Good luck with the search!
I love the trashy dryness! Great playing! I wanna hear old Papa Parker playing those puppies! My brand of choice is Istanbul Mehmet, Zildjian, and what ever my next set ends up being - maybe someday I'll find some Spizzichinos if I win the lotto!
Josh, you probably don’t realize this but you have a very nice accent! I don’t know any brand names of symbols… I just like to listen to drum music! Take it or leave it LOL! Just in case you stop by and see this… Josh I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🧑🎄🎅🏻 🎄🎁 and a very safe and Happy New Year! 🥳🎇🎉🎆
I have these - they are awesome. Noticed you are playing with Evans hydraulics. How do you like those? Thinking about a smaller/quieter kit since i play in small spaces but play mostly rock - thinking about going 18 - 12 - 14 but putting hydraulics on the toms and maybe an EMAD on the bass. Have you ever tried to tune a smaller kit for rock? Any thoughts or suggestions. Great video btw - these cymbals are the best around imho
Hey Jon, thanks for checking it out. I think the hydraulics would work for smaller clubs for sure because they naturally deaden the tone/volume overall. You'll still get that rock type "thud" though. Even so, you could use moon gels if you need to really dampen everything further. An emad works for everything in my opinion. You could even go with a coated emad to try and soften a bit too. Muffling inside the kick will play a big part as well. Good luck with your setup! - Josh
I would say my dream set of cymbals is the Zildjian K sweet pack. But unfortunately, with me being a intermediate drummer, I don't feel I deserve them yet. Lol. But great demo video, you got some killer fills man.
Dum change, cymbal change. Im a long time Sabian player and have a library of them. Considering the Meinl MJ pack. You just "testing" new drums and cymbal or if the a permanent change?
Hey man, thanks for asking....pretty much a permanent change. I did keep the Zildjians but playing these Meinl's in vids and out gigging. I also keep the Yamaha's setup for vids and gig out the Tama's. I'd recommend the Meinl's for sure, but they are def darker and dryer than the Zildjian's I'm used to just fyi
Epic dude, I’ve been wanting to get a large symbol pack, just for a price I can afford lol I was looking at the meinl brass family pack, 9 symbols for about 350, would you recommend getting them?
Hey all! What's YOUR cymbal brand of choice?

Great demo mannnn@!!!
Desde 2018 estou namorando esse box do Mike, esse som trash nos pratos da Meinl são incríveis! Parece perfeito!!! 🇧🇷
Love this
Thanks!
that review convinced me to buy this set! Thanks!
I was looking for someone who play those cymblas a bit more "rocking" ;)
Happy new gear day!
The 20” extra thin hammered crash is my favorite crash.

Hell yeah man, for sure will. Those foundry hats are real nice, also heard great things about the polyphonic ride 🤙

Appreciate that Ruben, thank ya man!

This is great stuff man. I think you need even more sponsors lol.
Hahaha I wish these were from an endorsement : ) Thanks for checking them out Phil
Nice bro!!!! Love em!
Thanks Bryan!
Can i use this set in more rock and progressive songs ?
I would say so, however they are dry and not "brilliant" so depends on what type of sound you're going for overall.
I would say my dream set of cymbals is the Zildjian K sweet pack. But unfortunately, with me being a intermediate drummer, I don't feel I deserve them yet. Lol. But great demo video, you got some killer fills man.
Thanks for checking it out John! Those Sweets are really nice, especially the splashes. Hope ya get em soon man 🤙🏻
How do you like the 21" ride as a crash, crash/ride? Is it more of just a ride cymbal?
You can really lay into this thing when crashing. Has a nice wide wash, maybe a little shorter decay.
