[themrsunshineyay]

meinl.... simply the best.

[drumboy940]

I just have bought an Extra Dry Splash two days ago, I expected to buy a splash from Meinl and it's the first and the last that I tried. I fell so in love with this cymbal!! <3<3<3

[MaxiRockTV]

witch Snare is thaht? :)

[DanteEnrico]

This ist porn for drummers :)

[Zgredu666]

ooo my..ex Dry china so awesome

[JoeMama165]

Wow these tracks sound cheesy as hell, awesome cymbals though.

[SlayerPJO]

So dry, must have a drink...so nice though

[FurlanPaolo]

A German drummer not playing Sonor...?

[dustyowl99]

omg too dry

[JulienNDrum]

Is this Tony Royster drumstick?

[igisigiHE]

hi-hat amazing;)

[Jaccobymaplesurup]

i usually like things wet but im loving those dry cymbals!

[yewwtube]

dude my old byzance cymbals aged in like 2 months from sounding like this to dogshit...

[wendepic]

@yewwtube Lawl, Ive had my Byzance crash for 5 months right now and sound has gotten better with age.

[yewwtube]

@wendepic and how long have you been drumming.. 6 months? dude i have high standards when it comes to cymbals, i wouldnt get gigs if i played your shit.. enjoy ya corigated iron sound

[wendepic]

@yewwtube I have been drumming over 6 years... Love playing jazz, funk and pop so it is perfect for me.

[julianisdope]

@yewwtube LMAO you're actually talking about getting gigs playing the way you do? I don't think its the cymbals man....god that was a good laugh watching that video

[xxxnityninexxx]

@yewwtube I have had my Byzance Traditional Hi hat for almost a year and It sounds better than the first time I played it.

[wendepic]

@yewwtube i dont really still understand your opinion in this matter because you just seem to be wrong.

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@yewwtube I agree with julianisdope. I usually never hate on videos or people unless they're being pretentious cunts. But you obviously deserve it, I've never heard of a cymbal sounding worse with age, it's not fucking milk, more like wine.

[unConTrolleDdruMEr]

they also look awesome

[SuperNotNoob]

love the extra dry china!

[XsitogrinderX]

whats the china on his left side???

[FRIESENZA]

extra dry china! ahhhh

[sixup55]

where could we get this track?????? the music??

[drumelimination]

THAT CHOP AT 2:42 IS SMOOTH AND SWEET AND ENDS IN CHINA!!! HAHA GET IT LOL

[gtrocksyosocks]

Not a huge fan of dryer cymbals, but that crash and splash are absolutely incredible!

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Byzance is the best line of cymbals, ever.

[markinhobanus]

All drumheads are RMV, a brazilian brand.

[cartoune]

Holy shit, demetri martin is also an amazing drummer!

[TheGrooveYardShift]

@cartoune hehe 

[loho174]

what brand are those drumheads?

[BERZITI]

@loho174 - YAMAHA ( made by REMO ) on toms and floors , and RMV ( Brazilian brand) on snare !

[MrPopaRoach]

This is like a porno movie music.

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@MrPopaRoach Progressive porn.

[cjcdrums]

oh my god, all these cymbals are pure sex..

[georgegcamargo]

RMV, Brazilian drum heads, Peles Rmv e acho que a caixa tambem...!!!!

[JenJennetik]

That 18" Extra Dry China is just NASTY! I <3 it :)

[914Chelovec]

какашки

[christraven]

For everyone who thinks Gustke doesn't do as good a job as Lehrmenn - the key here that you might be missing is that Gustke is playing them in the context of a song. In other words, he's not just bashing out grooves, but is trying to get the idea across of what these cymbals all sound like together. Lehrmann, IMO, is boring.

[joeschroeder007]

@christraven agreed.

[ElJefeUltimo]

Come on Ralf, you've got all these dope cymbals around you and you're sticking to the hi hat 90% of the time? Felixs Lehrmann does a way better job of demonstrating the cymbals. It seems like this guy was too focused on playing the "song" (let's be honest, it's straight up 80's porn music) than demonstrating the cymbals. I shouldn't have to click around to hear the full potential of the ride, which is fucking awesome by the way.

[arlagrisen]

@ElJefeUltimo I agree with you, but that Hi-Hat is still awesome!

[CommanderDaz]

@ElJefeUltimo I agree

[xxxnityninexxx]

@ElJefeUltimo I think this guy is much better than the other because this one can play any genre and the other seems to focus on only Jazz, Rock and Punk. This can play any genre.

[ChimPiZGaY]

Holy dope cymbals, Batman!

[FaslBo]

Is he using a brazilian drumhead? I;m almost sure that I saw RMV there...

[IxImetal4lifeIxI]

such a sick groove at around 30 seconds

[j0gan673]

Wow, some decent sounding chinas from Meinl.

[j0gan673]

Wow, some decent sounding chinas from Meinl.

[binge90]

Is that a syncopated 4/4 groove? Very playable, but I can't count it! All those cymbals sound amazing.

[compoundguy]

@binge90 if you mean the bit that starts at 0:25 i count it

1 a 2 and a 1234

[Bog2901]

Hi hats = awesome

[ProductionsSkyline]

A-fucking-MAZING!

[maciekomis]

that dark crash is one of the best crashes ive ever heard.

[bearseatingdrums]

Hoo! What a great drummer!

[afheadra]

the chineses are perfect, that sound is so epic...i love then

[mateoarv]

[marshall221000]

@mateoarv yamaha phx drums

[MsMK59]

@mateoarv - YAMAHA PHX !!! and Yamaha Ralf Gustke  signature birch snare 13" / 6" .

[babypuddy123]

[Philzwhodrumz]

0:25 = first groove in the new Benny Greb snare promo ... I prefer the way Benny plays it.

[Nightwawk94]

the Dark China sounds awesome 

[UnluckilyEnlightened]

Meinl's the best man!!!

Damn!

And the drummer is killer too!

[rith5]

First crash shot almost made run to get tissues, luckily I've been working on my self control!!

[Hammy0924]

The china to the right of the ride is epic!

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

Dryer than the desert :) They sound awesome.

[Bajskorv666]

No felix :/

[Mp5Drummer]

My Byzance Brilliant china has cracked... I want that Extra Dry. So so so so badly. Sounds incredible.

[cruzdrum]

so i know what my new setup is going to be

[SabianTamaDrummer]

snare is too dead for my liking

[kentsmedblom]

Which china is the really dark one is that the 18 extra dry? or?

[loho174]

dry china is really good.

[magico1282]

Oh God!

I love this Extra Dry thin crash! Fantastic sound!

[Swieb3r]

Where can I buy this ride for a decent price? I can't find this specific model on the Meinl website. And where can I buy the Byzance Extra dry China for a decent price?

[Philzwhodrumz]

@Swieb3r

I think that ride is the dark raw bell ride, it's in the 'dark' sub-series of byzance, have another look :)

[stromghouls]

those flat chinas, they kill.

[PayneKrunk]

these cymbals made me thirsty

[GoOMusIC1]

i like the snare sound..

[Mp5Drummer]

@sickbo121 16" on his left next to the hats, 18" over on the far right.

[anarcy7777u]

this isnt really for me, but i can hear the quality. They are good, but ill stick to the mb10s and soundcasters

[Ximmee93]

nice drums, nice cymbals, nice drumming!

[ohhyeahh21]

Amazing cymbals!

Can't wait to try them and add something to my current Byzance Dark setup :)
