Un peu 'dry' à mon goût mais faut avouer qu'elles ont de la gueule et ça donne plus de précision sur des trucs rapides. Moult félicitations en tout cas
@@skyDN1974 18 will ne back on stock really soon, but 20 will stay as special order from now on, so if you wanna get them ASAP, please send me an email to contact@kevinparadisdrumming.com. Cheers !
Zero sustain. Sorry, but your custom line has been very underwhelming so far. Megabell rides that lack projection and distinction between bow and bell, ultra-short sustain, medium volume crashes. what the hell is going on here.
What is going on is you discovering you don't like my drumming, and that is fine ;). I do not agree at all on your point. I think there is no interest in doing yet again the same Mega Bell Ride that all brands are doing all over again, and the same harsh crashes that overcome all instruments in live conditions, ring forever, and prevent a great use of overhead and rooms mics in the studio. The Mega Bell Ride has plenty enough projection to the point that in the recent drum cam I have recorded, I don't even need the close mics on them to have better precision and loudness. The bell is loud enough without being so loud that you need tones of compression to tame it. That is a problem that is absolutely killing the use of any traditional Mega Bell on the market today. You of course want a "2 cymbal in one" effect, but you don't want the bell to be so loud that you can't put some volume on the close mic to bring definition to the body without having a bell that is absolutely way louder than anything else in the mix. These crashes has the right amount of volume both in studio and live applications, and at the contrary of the cymbals design initially for Heavy Metal and being used in Extreme Metal today, they won't be invasive in the mix, or too bright. So it is a job complete for the brand and me, a job that won't please all the taste, but we did bold choices based on an analysis of the current cymbals available on the market, and I 100% stand by it.
As a matter of fact, I have tested them live before to valid the prototypes, and they have plenty enough projection and volume for live show, even in Benighted music, no matter the size of the venue.
Dude, there's already a million cymbal series on the market that specifically does what you want. I don't _love_ these either but disliking someone's signature cymbal line because they don't do what literally a metric crap ton of other cymbal lines do is kinda stupid. If you want Paiste Rudes, play Paiste Rudes, if you want Zildjian Zs, go play Zildjian Zs, don't need for more of those on the market since you have an abundance of options already. These have their own niche and they will find their fans.
@@warrenoids I fell like to be 100% honest, I shall add 2 things. 1- you also have some crashes that try to do what we also tried to do with T-Cymbals. In a certain way. Like they are not really meant to be used in Extreme Metal, but both Meinl and Sabian have some product that also provide some power, and a dark and trashy tone with controlled sustain. For example, I used to have HHX Xtreme crash, 17/19 brilliant finish when I was a Sabian endorser, and I liked them a lot. Problem was that their sustain is even shorter when used in an Extreme Metal music context, (too dry this time I think), and that they were still a tiny bit too harsh. So with T-cymbals, we tried to have something a bit different. A proper Dark and Trashy Extreme Metal crash. 2 - I absolutely know that this is not the mainstream choices, the standard choices and that a lot of drummers will be surprised by the tone I choose for my signature cymbals, but if our goal is not to fail and sell nothing, it is not either to create an easy choice that can be a top seller. It is just the sound I want for most of my music, and the sound we wanted to create.
That 18 and 20 crash together sounds so good!
I like raw and thrashy sound. The execution helps to bring out the sound better
man these actually sound so good
loved to have helped you out for your new logo!
Cymbals looks sick!! Congrats on the release! 🔥
Very cool bro, I look forward to hearing these on the next benighted record 👍
Congrats with your own cymbals series! 🤘
Trashy is good!
La Storm crash 20", vraiment j'adore celle-ci!
Un peu 'dry' à mon goût mais faut avouer qu'elles ont de la gueule et ça donne plus de précision sur des trucs rapides. Moult félicitations en tout cas
I think for your genre they’re very good!
When will the 18 + 20 be back in stock? Love it

I really loved Your china cymbals, but these are not my cup of tea. Your 20" ride is sweet as well.

these things are gonna get eaten alive in a live scenario, especially in brutal music. Overheads or not....
