This video sold me on the Koi cymbals. I was on the fence but I have no regrets on my purchase. 21" ride and 15" hats. I'll be adding more in the near future.

That Wuhan dark china is one of the most beautiful cymbals I've ever heard.

[knowntalmbout]

Glad these are finally getting some love. Hopefully you guys can become a dream cymbals dealer soon.

WOW. I personally rarely find a line of cymbals where I find each one desirable, but not the case with these. They all sound incredible!

[percplayer]

What a great demo! Using an array of tools so that the player can hear the differences. Wish every demo was like this! Excellent

[GoAndPractice]

4:38 did Nick just play a drum solo using the classic bell tower melody as a motif on the cymbals?

These cymbals love being under a microphone live or studio., I have the 14'' HH, 21''R, 17''&18''Cr, 20''DCCh, 10''&12''Sp, (12'' modded w/16 holes, 4 rows of 3 and one in between each of those). After over a year of gigs and recordings, I am still blown away, to the point of where I've been grabbing their Linear Smash Crashes which (to me) are equally as good. Wuhan are hands down the ''starter'' cymbal Kings, from the Western series to these Koi's any level of drummer can have great sounding B20 cymbals. Even their Lion Chinas are good, I still have an 16''&18'' that I got in the 80's (thanks to Neil Peart). As for any parents looking to buy your kids 1st set of cymbals, these or the Western series are the way to go, the same goes for any drummer on a budget. Stagg's new B20 cymbals are quite good also. Of course I'll never get rid of my Zildjian A's and K's, but that goes w/out saying yeah. Sorry for such a long winded comment, but I feel these Wuhan's deserve it.

The 20" Crash and the lathed china are just ridiculous and I want three of them...

[richmartin]

This is as complete a demo as there can be. Very well done Nick!

[trsfworld]

The groove that Nick started off the video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 great demo

[CoverBandDrummer]

Bought a whole set of these over the course of the last year. Unique, but colorful and musical. They're fairly thin, so they open up quickly and work great in lower volume settings, but mic up REALLY well (as you can tell above).

[trsd-mlvz]

I have the dark china and it is the greatest I've ever I've played many brands, series, sizes....this one is the greatest.

[DynamicRockers]

Love the Koi series, very suprised by the beautiful sound of the Hi Hat.

[RBDrums]

i really hope sweetwater becomes an istanbul dealer soon. Such great cymbals and i wish they got more recognition like these new wuhans. I love that china.

[HectorRodriguez-music]

Great sounding cymbals! My faves were the ride, 17" crash and the Conical (brilliant) china

[holmessph]

I own the 21” ride, 17” and 19” crash. Absolutely amazing cymbals. I don’t know how you can beat them at their price, fantastic!

[jasonm]

They sound similar to the K Sweet line.

[philipmorris]

Awesome sound but great playing, beautiful demonstration

[idogillan]

It is so strange.
The drums are louder than the cymbals and its hard to hear the cymbals.

[DamianS]

Why does the 17" Crash sound better in this video compared to the Koi 17" Crash I have on my Kit?
I just received the Koi 19" Crash and Koi Dark China. I definitely like the 19" Crash better than the 17" Crash.
I plan on buying the Koi 20" Crash and maybe the 18" Crash
