Yes, ALL 50 CYMBALS line up perfectly to a 115 bpm click
This is why I buy stuff used. For $250-300 you can easily find used paiste 2002 or signature rides, Zildjian k stuff, istanbul...
Found my HHX Legacy for about that much! It goes for almost twice that new and I'm very glad I found one, great, crashable ride despite the 22 being considered heavy
Great demonstration of optional cymbals!! I play 2002’s on my studio kit at home but wanted to add a “complex ride”cymbal just to play softer & more articulate. Max helped me find a Paiste Masters 21” Dry Ride that was just what I wanted. The cymbal still blends in well with my other Paiste set-up also.. I’m blessed to have a drum shop that helps me get the right gear for what I am wanting for my playing growth!! Shane, Tony & staff work very hard & have made this independent drum shop IMO the best in the world & happy to have them close to home 🥁
I wish that 22" Paiste Dark Energy ride didn't sound so amazing...but it does. My bank account wishes the same thing.
I play the bass, I couldn’t even tell you how to hold a drumstick. But I’ve followed the channel for a couple years now, and your videos are so well produced, I feel like coming up to NH and leaving with 2 full sets plus some 50 cymbals 🤣
Keep up the good work, and may you prosper
Thanks so much!!
Man that 22 paiste signature reflector bell just sounds so clean. Every part of the cymbal is nice and distinct
Now you my friend have good taste!!!
For this guy, Paiste reigns supreme. Really hard to beat a set of sigs, Zildjian if you want more wash, slightly darker and with less stick definition.
FIFTY?! You guys know I don't have that kind of attention span. You maniacs. You absolute fiends. Thank you.
Yeah, still the Signature DE MKII, my dream Ride
For me, this is the most helpful video yet. 60 years playing...still seeking the perfect ride for me. I just heard 3 that fill my hopes. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
First of all, I truly appreciate you guys making this video, can't imagine how much work that must have been. That being said, there were, to my ears, a lot of awful sounding rides here, even among the higher price ranges.... 😬 I suppose I would still prefer a regular Zildjian 20"K ride, or a 21" K Sweet ride. Of the ones played here I guess the Meinl Pure Alloy and the Zildjian A Medium give the most bang for the buck, they sound closest to what I think a ride should sound like and don't break the bank. The medium heavy Wuhan was impressive for the price as well.
Kinda wondering why some of these were so expensive. I understand they're boutique cymbals in here that someone worked hard on creating, but I think for the average player those just perhaps don't make the cut and especially considering the price. Far more niche if you will. With that said, thank you guys for taking the time to make this video. I love that you continue to do this for us! Even though I'm a Sabian guy, I'll have to go with the Paistes on this one.
@@lukenixon2390 I was thinking the same thing!
Paiste 20" 602 ME stole the the show for me and I didn't expect that. Other than the Dark Energy Rides (that always sound great but are sooo expensive), I've never really liked the sound of Paiste rides. That's why these videos are fantastic. My mind has been opened (OK, only slightly, but it's a start😂)
No k sweets ? Super nice rides . The TS ride sounded nice
My favorite line of cymbals!
I've been waiting for this to come up! I searched for a video like this from DCP but couldn't find one
I play on an original 80' ziljian ping ride since I started : this video showed me why I sill love it as much!!
Man, I hate to say it but wuhan hit it out of the park again with that medium heavy.
DCP is the definition of top shelf! 💯🥁
The 23" Zildjian Sweet was Sweet!!
Great bell, nice ping and still crashable.
Covers all the sounds I would need out of my Ride.
Thanks DCP that was a fun 20 minutes!
Drummers nowadays are really lucky in terms of choices/options in gear. Back in as late as the 80s, drummers' only choices for cymbals were Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, Meinl, and maybe UFIP (which I think you should've showcased here as well), and even within these brands choices weren't as wide. Now, there's a literal ton of options for different budgets and musical tastes.
Another great video. The HHX BEM world sounds amazing! I have four of these mid-upper priced ones, a 602 ME 22", a HHX 22" Medium, a 23" A Sweet and the 22" Mark II Dark Energy and will be at the store on Saturday, looking forward to playing the Paiste Masters Deep Ride 24". See you soon DCP!
Istanbul traditional dark is my favorite. You can do almost everything with it from jazz to rock. Thanks for sharing dcp !
The Paiste 22" Signature Reflector heavy ride!!! By far the best ride in the 50 cymbals!!!!
Thank you DCP for another comparison video you will not find anywhere else. Amazed by how different all of these rides sound. Much more varied than, say, snare drums. Something here for everyone. I know this entailed a lot of work. Thank you.
Dude that last one sounded like a $1000 trash can lid😂😂
A sweet 23 and Agop traditional dark 21. Just my taste
Thanks for all the rides, so many colors! Leaning to the Sabian HH 22" for my ears.
I'm so impressed with Paiste and Meinl cymbals. ❤❤❤.
Thank goodness I stuck with the Z Custom Mega Bell Ride it’s my favourite 😎
Loved the 602 and Masters Crisp.
I'm very impressed with the sound of the cymbalcraftsman cymbals!
The perfect example of the law of diminishing returns.
Many great ones here. The Paiste Masters Crisp 22 is the one I want.
thanks so much for these, guys!
Every paiste was better than everything else. Bright and clear and beautiful.
Mienle , Sabine. And Istanbul had some good ones.
Zildjen... I expected better from you!!!!
Man that last ride cymbal sounded worse than the first one
I tip my hat to how god damned perfectly repeated that pattern was. Jeez...
Of my fave three, I only own one of them. And some others I do own, I wasn't so keen on. The 20" 602 ME ride for instance I thought was good but not wow, but I have it in 22" and love it. Same with the Foundry Reserve - so my take away from this is, any given cymbal can also live and breath, or suck a bit depending on which size you choose.
Awesome work as always team.
Dark energy.
That Royal cymbal sounded pretty nice!
My Favourite here is the Paiste Signature Dark Energy Mk2 22". For more poweful moments I got a Paiste 2002 22" Power Ride and for silent moments Istanbul Mehmet 1623 Black Sea 20". A Paiste 900 24" Mega Bell was great but had too much low resonance for big rooms and drowned everything.
Fantastic vid, thanks guys! I liked the 30th anniversary 22 the best:)
Thanks for such a great comparison! Got to say the Turkish cymbals sounded smooth for the price point, love the TS Sessions, Artisan.
Sabian HH TS Sessions 22'' was probably my fave although there were a few in that price range that I liked. Crisp clear sticking and a great bell sound.
I thought there were a lot of great sounding cymbals in that 275-400 dollar range. Fir the price, I thought the Istanbul Xist & Wuhan Koi sounded great. A lot of the higher dollar rides were quite dry & had a more complex sound, but my ear didn’t necessarily respond to them. I think many of them would do very well in a jazz setting.
2002 was the most ridiest ride to my ears. And, I'm a Zildjian player. Shoulda went Paiste all those years ago.
There are about 25 of these that I'd like to own, and then I wouldn't even be drumming, I'd just be switching out rides.
I GOT a $1100 cymbals craftsman 26’ crash ride and I got a whole set of Sabina B8X cymbals for $175.00 ( ride, crash, hihats) . So many factors to consider when choosing a cymbal so choose wisely
Great comparison, some lovely rides in there, but my god cymbals have got insanely expensive 😵
Best value for me would be the Dream Bliss ride, also loving the Istanbul Dark and the Mel Lewis ride, and the Sabian Stratus and BFMWorld worthy mentions!
I love vintage As (mainly 50s, some 60s), but for new rides, i love Paiste.
Hey Adam or Tony is there a way I can buy the exact mkII ride in this video?
You sure can. Give the shop a call and we can set it aside! 603-319-8109
@@drumcenternh nice imma call tomorrow
50 isnt too much guys, i really like the comparisons that have alot of examples side by side since there are so many great cymbals
Paiste Sig Reflector Bell and Master Crisp are amazing!!
Istambul...nice cymbals!!
I still like my Paiste 2002 Classic Ride 22", many greetings from Germany.
The Sabian Todd Sucherman HH Sessions Ride is one of the best I've ever heard in person, from light to heavy, it can do it all, very musical, highly recommend!
Wuhan Koi 21 and Royal Cymbals Steller 21 were my standouts for sure.
The Dream Eclipse 21" had some interesting stuff going on> I am disappointed that the Paiste Signature DUO didn't make it on the video. I get great comments on mine and would have enjoyed hearing it with the same production as the rest of these.
Sabain aa 24 bashride is my go to for stoner rock
Zildjian A Sweet 23"
Istanbul 21” trad dark 👏👏
Thank you DCP so much for this amazing video! 🙏🙏 I really like the Zildjian A Sweet 23, it just sounds very versatile! I’ve also liked the A Custom and Istanbul Xist. Great choice as sound and price!
Glad you like it!
Oh well. 50 down. 50 more to go. 😅
BEST: Paiste Dark Energy MKii 22" 18:25
WORST: Byzance Foundry Reserve 20"(although the crash is pretty nice) 18:02
BEST VALUE IMO: Zildjian A Sweet 23" 9:14
Formula 602
The Koide 703 20" half turk is awesome. Thank you for the ride🤡!
20” bliss 👏
That Sabian HH TS sessions 22 does it for me.
Maybe its just that trends in ride cymbals have moved beyond my taste, but i didnt really like any of these cymbals.
Im still playing on a 21" HH Raw Bell Dry Ride. It was Phil's choice when i got mine. It's a wonderfully expressive ride cymbal.
Really like the Byzance Big Apple Dark, 602, and the Koide 703 Half Turk. Best cheapest option I'd say is the Sabian Stratus.
Paiste Giant Beat, Zildjian Sweet Ride and Istanbul Mel Lewis for me
Sonically, the Zildjian K Dark Medium and Paiste 602 Modern Essentials were my favorite. I reckon the best value is the Istanbul Xist 21". Frankly I was perplexed by the Koides. Who are those cymbals for? I'd seen them but not heard them yet, and....I don't get it. Is it me?
The bell of the BFM World sounds amazing! Can I get that bell with the TS ride 😂. Decisions decisions.
Some nice sounding cymbals in that lot. Thank you DCoP. 👍😁
Paiste just smashed the competition here.
I expected more from Zildjian to be honest, and I'm a little bummed (for Zildjian) that Sabian makes better "Zildjians" than Zildjian.
My favorite 2 rides are Meinl Byzance. Jazz med thin CRASH. and med CRASH. Lol
Searched many years to find a ride that crashes to my liking.
Guess I still haven't found one.🤘🥁🤘
Would be great to add the weights in the cymbal videos if possible
I am waiting for a test drive for cymbals from the Diril company.
PS I am an artist of this company. I'm just thrilled with these plates.👍👍🥁🥁
My 22" Sabian Jack De Johnette Signature Ride blows all those away especially the bell sound
Meinl byzance foundry reserve.
2 favourites were the K dark medium 22” and the Artisan Raw Bell 22”
i just cant seem to find my go to ride. ive a custom, mienl class custon, pearl wild 900, istanbul, a sweet ride, z3. i change them out constantly
I’m shocked the Zildjian K Sweet Ride’s were not part of this!
Wanted to hear Zildjian 20" Constantinople med/ thin high bell
i think ive found a new brand..just spend so much money. koide! best sound of all of them
the bell on that bfmworld sounds like an effects bell XD
There’s a ton of great rides that got left out. None of my favorites were included
My current kit has rides as crashes. Love the thin ones, very versatile.
Can't believe how expensive the Wuhans are now, there was a time where you could get the whole cymbal pack for less money than the price of just the ride now.
Many good cymblas.Several were great sounding but not particularly great ride cymbals. Many flavors, for all occasions. I would want at least 3.🤷
Stick marks on Wuhan Koi yikes
I want to work there so bad. I’m a gear head & it’s my dream job.
Hey send me that HHX BFM world ride for free
Where's the zildjian s dark?
Sonically, the Zildjian K Dark Medium and Paiste 602 Modern Essentials were my favorite. I reckon the best value is the Istanbul Xist 21". Frankly I was perplexed by the Koides. Who are those cymbals for? I'd seen them but not heard them yet, and....I don't get it. Is it me?
@@drumrnva these are really thin, more crashride cymbals, that stick with the drive behind it is the wrong context. But understandably DCP has to keep a constant in these comparisons. With a lighter stick and in a jazz context the Koide’s would perform as designed.
Paiste 2002 22 and Paiste Masters 22 crisp
The Dream Bliss was the fist to grab me.
4:18 i have this ride and its soo good and great for price
The Wuhan 21" Medium-Heavy sounded really great, especially for the $$! I'm surprised at how many of the expensive rides sounded downright gongy and unmusical. (The very last one was atrocious - are you sure it didn't have a crack in it?)
I’ve played this cymbal. It should be in a crashride comparison and labeled as such. It’s light, low profiled and low tensioned. But, it is stamped Ride soooo, fair game.
In the world 😂😂
jesus christ those meinl HCS and sabian b8 cymbals were genuinely appalling, and the zildjian i and paste reflectors weren't much better lol
They are better than BCS, SBR. You can choose according to your budget and taste. There are many cheap cymbals such as Planet Z, 101, etc. They can be good enough for the user and the occasion.
I wish that 1st Wuhan was around when I was a kid
Paiste Reflector
ERF? Really? BT reference (Never Gonna Come Back Down), or just a coincidence?
