Hello Ralf, great sound. What is the weight of the cymbals in this video? standard, ight,medium, heavy. I want to order a set would love the same weight as your playing
Thank you

Great-sounding cymbals. And you have that Sonor kit tuned perfectly, it sounds incredible.

this is the pinnacle of drum sound :D not to mention outstanding playing :)

Those crashes are too splashy to have as the only type but pair them with a typical 18" Z type crash that roars and that ride and hat combo... I was making stacks out of cheapo knock off cymbals in the 70s because I couldn't afford a china but now they go for big bucks. lol

I'm looking at 16" Beast HH, 22" Elegant crash, 24" Natural Ride I think. Hopefully at the end of March

Sonor Vintage Series + Agean Natural series = Best Match!

I forgot to comment in another video beautiful drum kit. I love that color/wrap. I can’t afford Sonor but great kits.

Damn. I thought you were good on an ekit. Sheesh!

I do not find the "normal" natural Agean Cymbals you are showing in the video :( I only find the R version. Do you have a link to a set that is comparable with your setup? I am living in Germany. Even on the Homepage of Agean I could not find the Natural Fx crash.
