  • Hey drummers, check out the Meinl Byzance Vintage Benny Greb Sand Series 4-piece Cymbal Package! Hammered into form in Turkey, the Meinl Byzance Vintage Benny Greb Sand Series 4-piece Cymbal Package truly holds to tradition in so many ways. But at the same time, they offer you unbelievable modern versatility. Each design aspect of these cymbals took into account the need of drummers to not overwhelm their band's mix. Across the board you'll hear a warmth and dryness that, while giving you crisp definition, never washes out the other musicians. And they sound great in practically any setting from jazz and blues, to funk and rock.
    Thanks for watching - get this cymbal pack at the link below!

    This is hands down the BEST cymbal demo video that I've ever seen. INCREDIBLE explanation of products and the playing was so so so good! Well done. I love Sweetwater! You guys truly go above and beyond.

    I can't comment on the full boxed set, but I have the bigger 22" ride from this line and I love it. I use it in a very eclectic pop and soul cover band that gigs a lot (generally 5-8 gigs a month...), and I was kind of afraid the washy-ness of the ride might be overbearing but it's not at all. The warm overtones of the cymbal really serve to sort of "bind" the sound together, and it just smooths everything out. I had been using a much more staccato K Zildjian ride, but I really prefer the more washy Sand Ride now. I use it in a very hard rock band as well, and for very low volume piano blues, with brushes...it's really good for everything. I've had it less than a year, and my only concern is it's durability. I work a lot and I hope it lasts. So far, no complaints. Highly recommended.

      @@SagaContinu Very well. It’s the only ride I used for about 5 years. I now also use a Zildjian K traditional 20” that is pretty washy too, but a higher note. But I still love the 22” Sand Ride, and would recommend it. Low earthy note.

    • @sam69826
      @sam69826 4 года назад +1

      I can recommend the Meinl Cymbal Cleaner.
      overall cleaning the Finish on top can be quite tricky but the Cymbal Cleaner works pretty good

    • @JustysFrank
      @JustysFrank 3 года назад +1

      These arent meant to be cleaned. If you want to clean the brilliant finish area on the other side, cymbal companies sell polish. Don’t clean the top or the raw area though. That will remove the finish.

    Nick! Why are you triggering your bass drum, and funkifying bennys symbols? Just kidding, but what is going on with that bass drum sound?

    • @ynotw57
      @ynotw57 4 года назад

      alandanielw I’m guessing mic placement brought out a lot of click, and heavy gating probably enhanced it. Not sure if that’s what you were referring to. I used to own a DW Collector. The kick was all punch, little character.
