Sound pretty clean. Remind me of Paiste sound
MAN that snare is tight!! I love it.
Sabian once went Big & Ugly, now Meinl goes Bright & Shiny haha
to be honest, I like byzance traditionals better, these ones really sound like Paiste and I've been always avoiding such sound.
anyway, I can't even imagine how flattering it is when a company like Meinl asks you to represent their new cymbal line. you totally deserve that Austin, huge respect from a Russian fan and best of luck!
exactly my thoughts.
They remind me of the Paiste PST7's, which I returned. Bought a 18" of these and also got ride of. I'll stick with my Meinl Cymbals Byzance B16DUC series
That snare is tight!!! love it.
These remind me so much of the Paiste 602's and the Modern Essentials. Fabulous and shimmery.
Richard Pine 100%
It’s the same cymbal. I was in a music store the other day and they had a 16” and I hit it and it sounded exactly like my Paiste 602 modern essentials... I had my cymbal bag in the car and brought it in to the store and compared them.... virtually identical
And half the price
Fantastic product review, Austin. Thank you for the good talk, and for the great demonstration. Definitely gives a clear picture of what they are, and how they differ from for instance the Byzance Traditional series.
+Maximiliam Andersson Thanks Max!
I'm glad meinl decided to get more clean cymbals into their line. I don't know about you guys but I'm not a big fan of the dry crashes in the byzance line. (The rides and chinas on the other hand are fantastic)
Your username.
This whole recording sounds amazing but that snare is tuned perfectly.
man! really good sounding cymbals, those hats are amazing!! but you know what? I love even more the way you snare sounds! please, give us a little tutorial of what you use and the way you tune that snare!
I know that this is a cymbal demonstration video but god damn that snare sounds killer!
Dang that 22" ride sounds great
Nice review, Austin!
Could you, please, make a video about YOUR approach to drum TUNING.
Cheers
I just got these hats. I really love them. I enjoy that bright, washy sound
If anyone else hears that slight high pitched undertone, it’s darker in person and sounds so much better. Videos can’t do them justice!
Best review I have seen so far. I bet you were happy when they decided to send you a set, a lot closer to the Sabians you used to play. To me, they definitely have a Paiste sound. Somewhere between 2002 and Sigs.
Snare reminds me of the the track 2 Princes..but yours sounds a little better.
Isn't "Pure Alloy" an oximoron?
I believe so!
lol, first time reading the name, I thought so.
Well you could technically have a "pure" alloy if what the alloy consists of has no impurities in it, but yes, it's an oxymoron because an alloy is a mix of metals making it "impure".
I realize this is a cymbal review but which snare are you using in this video? Beautiful. 😍
They're the closest cymbals to 1970's Black Label Paiste 2002 IMO.
Nice video🙌🏻
The hammering and look of these cymbals is very close to Paiste Giant beats.
I still miss the MB20, mb10 and Soundcaster custom, they were great and popular cymbals, why Meinl eliminated that lines?!
They didn't. The Byzance Heavy Hammered cymbals are the mb20's renamed
If you like the soundcaster fusion line..... in person the pure alloy custom are similar bout 80%
Your cymbals are recorded very well. What kind of overheads do you use?
Got the 14 hats, 20 ride and the 16 crash.
hats and ride sounds amazing.
Crash could be more aggressive. (for me) ;)
Paiste 602's and the Modern Essentials... The Same...
Nice....I never really liked the earthly sounds of Meinl , these are more my type.. what would be the price ranges , any idea ?
Anyone came on this video after seeing rdavidr?
I love that ride :)
That 20" is so nice
Love the vids man keep it up!
They're trying pretty hard to go after paistes market. Allot itself is probably close to signatures but he hammering and cumbal profile are closer to 2002 black beats.
Hey Austin,
What do you think about Zildjian K cymbals? I just want to get you're take on them.
I love the snare
Wish they made a 17 inch crash. I love 17s give me the control of a 16 but open up with the explosion of an 18 when laid into, imo. Nice bright cymbals.
Reminds me of Paiste Giant Beats and Formula 602 Traditionals. Hehe
meinl 602's, meinl is smashing everyone's cymbal game except Istanbul for contempory recording, Constantinople jazz or kerope neo-funk n soul, new special drys in electro (but i definatey prefer the extra dry thin stuff to the new special dry sound wise)... i think meinls pretty much winning last year and this year or at least neck n neck with the ever popular zildjian
They do sound like paistes. But I also think they sound kinda like classics customs. The crashes at least
Good stuff? I miss seeing your videos...... not as frequent. Is it because you're so busy with studio/gig work?
Nice Cymbals. ANYWAY Benny Grebs new track couscous has some mental parts in it. its crying for a study the greats THANKS.
Des cymbales que j adore et que j envisage d acheter , crash 18 et 20 mais pas sans les essayer
Meh. I don't get the point of this line, the Byzance traditionnal already covers the need for general purpose cymbals, and they still have the Meinl sound. Those are much more generic, they sound like Paiste's. Sure it's a new option but it lacks personality.
Was just about to say that they kinda sound like paiste 602´s. But I love paiste so I like these.
I'm agree, sound like paiste cymbals.. I liked these cymbals
Not quite. They're made of B12, so they're not exactly going for Paiste's sound. They're evolving an alloy that they've been well-known for for years since the Soundcaster series. I guess you can say these are more akin to Paiste's Giant Beat series, but considering those are made of B8, these still stand apart on their own.
You're right, but you need to take in mind, that the Pure Alloy Series is way cheaper then the Byzance Traditional Cymbals.
Oh I didn't know they were cheaper, that's kinda cool.
Those are nice.
Is this B8 bronze? They sound like 2002 paiste.
They're made of B12, so they're not exactly going for Paiste's sound. They're evolving an alloy that they've been well-known for for years since the Soundcaster series.
dobosar87 they're B12, same as Zildjian's S series and the same as Meinl's Soundcaster line. I imagine they're just the Soundcasters but repackaged differently.
To me at least, they sound somewhere between a Paiste 2002 and a Paiste Signature Full. A little more complex than the 2002, but maybe not quite as nice as a Signature. Excuse the Paiste references, because that's all I know. They are actually a B12 - so that puts them in Signature territory. Anyway, yeah. Very nice cymbals!
Pure Alloy are b20, while 2002 are b8 alloy
@@markomarkovic5729 According to Meinl, they are B12. Look it up.
@@lucianisidro On Thomann's website said it's b20. Overpriced in any case. You can buy Turkish made cymbals for much less money, at least here in Europe. If you look at the Meinl Wikipedia page, you'll see that "Byzance series are hand hammered in Turkey". There are many Turkish brands, such as Diril, Istanbul Mehmet, Anatolian, Impression, Murat Diril, Aegean, Istanbul Agop, Bosphorus, Masterwork, etc. And they all make topnotch hand hammered b20 cymbals (they don't bother making entry-level brass crap) and sell them at lower price than Meinl, Sabian, Zildjian and Paiste. And Turks invented cymbals, so they know what they're doing.
@@markomarkovic5729 I've been a Paiste man for 40 years - ain't gonna switch now! I have some nice Paiste Twenty Series cymbals, including ride and hi-hats, which are handmade in Switzerland from Turkish blanks. Otherwise I use Signatures, 2002s and Rudes.
@@lucianisidro I don't stick with just one brand, nor bother with what it says on the cymbal, but rather use those that appeal to my ear. Paiste is unrivaled when it comes to mid-level b8 series, especially older lines such as 400, 404, 505 and 802 (old Alphas). My problem with the big 4 (Paiste, Meinl, Paiste and Sabian) is that their top lines cost too much because of the brand name, and the same quality (and better) can be found with Turkish manufacturers at a much lower price. Just my 2 cents.
What snare is that though god damn that sounds sexy
Thank god. I generally like what Meinl has, but that whole dry series sounds like a stereotypical trashcan lid in all the wrong ways.
Ryan Crane yo whomst mans is this
Duuuuude they do sound like 602s
They may sound a lot like Paiste but at least they don't torture your wallet.
Sounds like Zildjian K Dark series
feeling the same !
let's be honest, these are big band cymbals.
so basically Meinls version of a Zildjian A or Sabian AA? Someone already said this but traditional Byzances have alot more character and to me sound a lot better, but I do lean toward darker cymbals for sure.
AG Drummer it's more like Meinl's version of Paiste 2002s, Meinl's "Zildjian A" series would be the M-Series of cymbals, which are machine hammered B-20 cymbals :)
Renegade Hipster Ah that's right the long lost M-Series. I forgot about those lol These Pure Alloy's sound very "clean" like Paiste for sure though
Paiste 2002, except $80-$90 less per cymbal,,,,,
The look nice but they're pretty meh.
All sound great Miked
