Sabian always falls short for me. I'm a Paiste guy, but I'd never use them for a genre like jazz, unless we're talking about the masters series. I'm surprised at how great meinl sounds, only issue for me is how dry they all sound

[TerryDrumCovers]

Paiste all the way with Sabian second. The Meinl sounded good but a bit dry.

[martonkardos]

I definitely liked the Meinl and the K custom setup the most (and still that 16" K felt pretty weak), the Sabian rides and hi-hats sounded relatively good, but I didn't like the Sabian crashes at all. Probably the Paiste setup was the most well rounded most versatile one out of the bunch.

Thanks for leaving the name and sizes of the cymbals on screen the whole time: I love these kinds of comparison videos and appreciate how much work goes into them but I find it less helpful when they only show the name briefly.

Ziljian Hi hats, Paise crash sound the best... Nice playing

[loucontino]

Just remember you don't need a full set by one maker to create a balanced sound for the music you play. Thickness, pitch, resonance and sustain all can be found across many manufacturers and blended to make your set up. My best advice after 47 years of drumming is go to a drum shop and try out various cymbals for yourself. You Tube and even the Manufacturer's website are no real way to hear all the nuances of a cymbal and that includes playing the side, underneath, rolling and choking the cymbals as well. All of these cymbals sound wonderful and deserve your consideration.

It would’ve been better if all of the cymbals were the same sizes. It doesn’t make for a true comparison otherwise.

For me:

1.- Sabian
2.- Meinl
3.- Paiste
4.- Zildjian

[Fernanpoison]

I use sabian crash, paiste ride and hi-hat meinl, and I'm looking for a zildjian crash ride

[ChannelSteph]

The K's sound great to me. Thanks for making the video.

[walpurgisnacht]

If your going bright then Sabian HHX. If you are going dry then meinl. Paiste is too gongy

[mohopbela]

Thks for your hard effort for this comparison. Appreciate it so much. Keep up the good work guys...

[dgmwitz]

AAX, HHX and Paistes were the best imo

[jareddoran]

Unpopular opinion, but Meinl was far superior to the others. Yeah they were much dryer, but their tone was far more consistent. And while they're dry in this mix, they sound powerful in person. Believe me, I've heard them in person. And if you're not a fan of their dry stuff, they make a plethora of other cymbals that compete very hard with Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste, and even the Turkish brands like Istanbul, Bosphorus, TRX, etc. I'm probably just biased, but the Meinls in this video sound way better than the others

[muriloninja]

2:24 in and the Paiste sound the best to me so far

[jkf]

The Ks customs were probably my favorite all-rounders, although the Meinls were surprisingly close. I think that the Sabian sets suffered somewhat from ill-chosen rides. The HHX set would have fit together better with a Raw Bell Dry Ride or Groove Ride, and there is certainly another Sabian ride that I would have liked more than the Paragon.

чёт кажется мне, шо звучание тарелки ещё зависит от: подачи, техники, звукоизвлечения, комнаты, микрофонов, настройки частот, выходного динамика да и самой тарелки: большинство топ серий же руками доводятся в той или иной степени

как тут через ютубчик то определить, щупать вживую нужно

[bigd--channel]

Nice video displaying the sounds. But I did not like any of them. I will stick with my VINTAGE ORIGINAL 1968 thru 1974 Era Avedis Zildjians

[scottyscott]

Just imagine if you could mix and match cymbals!! Lol you’d have a great unique sound cymbal-wise lol

[DemetriusConley]

Sabian stays in my heart as always, I love Sabian! ❤
