Meinl Byzance Custom Studio Cymbal Pack Review

Get this Meinl cymbal set here: imp.i114863.net/mg3kX7
Studio owners - if you're looking to upgrade your recordings in a big way, check out this exclusive cymbal bundle from Sweetwater. Meinl let us assemble our dream team across their six Byzance lines, and this package is what we came up with. You get hi-hats that are crisp and controlled, crash cymbals that melt into a mix, and a ride cymbal that's the perfect blend of dry, pingy, and washy - especially under a mic. Not only is each cymbal in this Meinl Byzance set a blue ribbon winner on its own, but we chose each piece because of how it interacts with the others. We're also throwing in a free Byzance Trash Crash and some fun accessories to liven up your recordings.

you know what is even more important than having good cymbals? having a good drummer. that's why i prefer watching Nick review drum gear

[@joshwatts766]

Nick can literally sell anything. I’m sold. 😂 legend.

[@hoytbenson6016]

I think these are my favorite cymbals Nick’s reviewed

[@diegoalarcon4528]

That snare though 🥁🔥

[@JakeStaffin]

I've always been a Sabian guy and that's probably the only cymbal brand I will buy but these Meinls sound really good, especially that 18 crash.

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

The ride is gorgeous, the crashes and the hihat are brilliant 👍🏻👌🏻

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

The hihats , the trash crash and the 18 Crash do sound amazing 😉👍🏻

[@tmaddrummer]

Nick I often wonder if you are related to Sal Mineo....... you are a phenomenal player, and your video demos are the BEST! Thanks and Blessings!!!

[@isaacstout427]

I don't even play meinl, I just enjoy these vids a whole lot

[@asarsalari]

Forget the cymbals.. I'm here to watch Nick.. Killer groove

[@Quartiano]

Nice and relaxed playing so great

[@piuskempter2241]

Nick is really cool, I like him so much

[@alfalso434]

Those are sweet! I think I have found my new set lol!! Nice demo too!!

[@fortuner123]

all sounds very nice.

[@OctaviusAzura]

awesome playing!

[@drngaawai]

Such a good video. So freaking good and thorough. <3 it

[@zeroturbulence1359]

This is about the only cymbal demo I've seen where the cymbals were hit correctly. But of course it's because it's Nick.

[@HadEnough745]

Nice cymbals but not cheap..

[@joemcintire4895]

GOt these cymbals. They are awesome!!!! Anyone know how to get the full track from the jam at the ending? Would be fun to get the drumless track or something similar to play on. TIA

[@Z71Coop]

Good god Nick is a great drummer!
