hammer on that splash!!

[clanofhyrule]

meinl cymbals can take a serious beating if your cracking these things, there is something wrong with your technique.

[theunknowndrunk1]

Good to hear it! I hope the lessons have been inspirational for you to improve as a drummer, I apologize for my harsh comments. Keep on drumming!

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@theunknowndrunk1 Its Okay, no Problem :D

Yes, it was an inspiration for sure, I dont know where I would be without my lessons today, I think not too far

Yes, I will, You, too ;)

Greetings

[theunknowndrunk1]

You have no technique and your cymbals are tightened too much on their stands which is why they break. You play like a retarded gorilla. take some lessons....

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@theunknowndrunk1 Hello my friend :D

Yes, thats right, I HAD a bad technique :) Look when the Video was uploaded ;)

And I take lessons since i started to play my friend :)

Friendly Greetings from Germany!!! :D

[DogAteMySticks]

i think i know why you broke them....

LOOSE THEM !!

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@DogAteMySticks And i know why I broke them...

INSANE BRUTALITY AND NO TECHNIQUE ;)

But I watch out now

And this is not, how i set up my cymbals normally, its just for the video mounted on an extra stand without looking for the tension ;)

@AaronSk8Man gatita tu mama

[ejnarm3]

hmm... i think i like these :D

I am looking for a medium dark and warm sound which, if i hit hard enough, goes light and high...

... xD

[LaveaFirmis]

you seem to have a worryingly large amount of broken cymbals, I stopped breaking them regularly after about a year of drumming and "touch wood" I haven't broken one for a good 3 or 4 years and I play them hard

also if you are over tightening your cymbals like another comment I saw, that is the worst thing you can do to them next to hitting them with sledge hammers, they have to move quite a bit to dissipate the energy of your hits

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@LaveaFirmis I have a better technique now than nearly 1 Year ago when i uploaded this Video :D

Thank you for your advise altough

[LaveaFirmis]

@Dragonwatcher2008 fair doos do you crack cymbals very often now then?

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@LaveaFirmis No, i havent cracked a cymbal in the last 6 Months or sth like that, it keeps getting better ^^

[LaveaFirmis]

@LaveaFirmis thats cool then nice one

I'm worried one of mine will crack soon though because I play them a lot at gigs and practice and some are 5 years old now. I dont have the money to replace any AAX lol

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@LaveaFirmis If you take care of them, they will make 20 Years more :D

[LaveaFirmis]

@Dragonwatcher2008 ha ha I wish they would but cymbals dont seem to be made like they used to, however they do sound better.

and I fully admit I get a bit too into the moment at gigs and hit them too hard than realise and have to back off

they re doing well though :)

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@LaveaFirmis Nice to hear!!

[145DrumMaster]

I think you broke that.

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@145DrumMaster yes youre right

[SuperChamona]

@Dragonwatcher2008 They sound good broke. I like how it decays the sound a bit. I don't like cymbals too ringy.

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@SuperChamona Thanks!

[scratchy02]

How old are these cymbals? how dit they break?

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@scratchy02 They were about 2 Years old and they broke by hitting them.

[Sparklaus]

I loved that splash! Great set!

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@Sparklaus Thank you ;D

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

I can tell you why most of your cymbals got dents in them... your tightening them too much on the stand.. Let the cymbal breath, let it wobble....

[JeffreyDrumpants]

dude, i think its time for YOU to get new cymbals

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@JeffreyDrumpants I still have new ones xD

[vicfirthdrumsticks17]

what a 16" crash, i ve the same but it sound much better :)

[Orizest]

This goes to everyone going to buy some nex cymbals, and watching this video.

You can't watch Videos and expect to kno what kind of cymbals you want.

i can tell you: the easiest solution is to go to the next drum shop, and test the cymbals.

All these videos might be very nice, but when you compare the sound from the video with the real life sound, you will see that these videos are unnecessary.

Go, and check your favorite cymbals

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@Orizest I know, but I just want to give a example how they sound to get a overview and a short impression

[JmRDrummer]

stagg sh's are way cheaper and better go for them

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@JmRDrummer I use some Stagg SH Chinas, too. :D

[JVC7400]

thank you good video

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@JVC7400 No Problem :D

[conman1136]

did it crack easly

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@conman1136 For me: yes, But I really hitted them hard when I had'nt such a good technique.

[Vermillion25]

Im thinkin of gettin the 18, what do u mean stiff, like when u nail it do u feel its too thick? Help me out here brotha!

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@Vermillion25 No Problem, I mean just that I think its hard to play it dynamic and loud at once. I Think its ok, but you really should test it and play it in a store, cause its always a matter of your likes and dont likes, so check it out :D

[Boosh0091]

Are you happy with your classics? I was thinking about getting some.

[Dragonwatcher2008]

@Boosh0091 I am Happy, but the Crashes are very stiff, if you know what I mean, so my Meinl Classic Crashes are both cracked. Just go and test them :D
