Have the 16 Avedis and 16 Lights. Love them both! Went with the 15 Sweets to break it up a bit. Avedis are my favs.

Somehow, the Avedis cymbals have always sounded unpleasant to my ear

They all sound amazing. I used to play a lot of Zildjian A-type bright cymbals, but in recent years, I've been drawn to the dryer, darker jazz stuff. I currently use a set a 14-inch regular-old Zildjian K's, but would love to get my hands on those 16" Sweet K's. Though they blended the best of the Avedis and the Light hats here.

Nice job playing all these hats. Good video
