Very musical/ complex/ organic in a vintage way of the terms

[@SetchOnDrums]

Yes. A great cymbal overall!

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

Has that old K vibe (well of course, it’s made in Turkey)

[@SetchOnDrums]

Yes. It definitely has that vibe, very complex and rich.

Dude, that was crazy... you literally created a melody with not melodic instruments!

[@SetchOnDrums]

Thank you! I try to be melodic on the drums.

Nylon tips? Would be nice to hear with wood tips, too.

[@SetchOnDrums]

Sorry. I only use sticks with nylon tip, but I will get a pair with wooden tip for future videos!

How do you get that snare sound? That‘s great.

[@SetchOnDrums]

Thanks! I usually tune the bottom head pretty high, and the batter head medium high. It’s a very affordable 14x6.5 steel snare with the original snare wires, and I believe at the time I recorded it I still had the factory heads on the drum.
