Can we get this guy to do a few on MyCymbal dot com? He's a wicked drummer and I'd like to hear him play some cymbals in a rock metal format. Rather than "Hey yall I'm George Slepick I'm gonna play some jazz."
Nice collection of cymbals. I like how crisp the hi hats are and cymbals sound great mainly the 18" & 20" crashes. The ride doesn't really have that much stick definition going on to me but from what I hear now these cymbals sound better than the cheap shit that's out at the moment.
die becken sind der größte scheiß :D alpha klingt so steril und ekelig :D würde für den ganzen beckensatz da im video keine 10 euro ausgeben :D macht kein spaß so ne scheiße zu hören :D
im trying to decide between these cymbals or A customs. i play hardcore punk, i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions because i am having trouble deciding lol
@martin34426 Damn. It's not even a question. A Customs. And don't buy them new, check around eBay for like at LEAST 50% off brand new, and the cymbals will have no signs of use on them most of the time. Always buy top-of-the-line used.
the only crap thing about demoing these cymbals is that no drummers out there demo these cymbals in a more versatile setting, covering all genres of music, because these cymbals are actually quite nice and can be used in other applications other than metal..i know that these demoed here are all cymbals for metal and hard rock but the alpha line also makes thinner, lighter and much more versatile cymbals..if i can't find any here on youtube, i'll demo a set myself and post it for everyone ! ,
this is the best demo, but only for most of the cymbals. for example, the ride sounds a lot better than the way it does in this video. the rest of them are just fine... awesome cymbals
@imdarrellkthx i totally agree with you , i played A customs for the last 8 years... i don't know why everybody loves paiste so much.. i just think they sound cheap imo. i play meinl byzances (extra dry, dark and vintage), and i just can't understand why people always tell me to switch over to paiste.
@brockstringer Yeah man, there is a reason Zildjian has been around for as long as they have been, and have been at the top since they've been around. People just don't like them because everyone else does.
@imdarrellkthx i actually dont like zildjian because they cant take a hard hitter, and i have never broken or seen a broken Paiste, or Sabian, that is why they are awesome, but that is just me, you are probably i softer hitter dosnt mean that zildjian is the best brah
@TourettesUnicorn If you had proper technique you wouldn't break cymbals. I'm a hard hitter, and i've never cracked any zildjians besides the low end ZBTs. I've seen PLENTY sabians cracked to the bell, theyre thin. Overall, if you have good technique you can hit as hard as you want without doing much damage.
@imdarrellkthx I've actually had a talk with Matt when, he was in town for a show, He said pretty much that its all in personal opinion and not what everyone else thinks you should sound like, Which i apologize, I should have Put that in my Statement, i never said i hated Zildjian, they're just not for me :)
WOW! I think for those cymbals, the batters need to be changed to clears... the coated batters are too muted and jazzy and got overpowered by those incredible metal Alphas.
Ich hab neulich gesehen, dass Alex Vesper (Drei vom Rhein) auch in der etwas älteren Ausgabe von dem Tama-Jahres-Katalog bei den "Artists" zu finden ist. Hab ich neulich zufälliger weise entdeckt!^^
I have the 22'' alpha metal ride and its amazing has a great bright pingy sound on the body perfect for slayer type of songs and the bell on it is just explosive, perfect for those off beat ride patterns (like lamb of god).I would definitely compare these new Alpha brilliants to the Meinl MB20's just with a way friendlier price tag haha
@MrRoyWesten well generally brighter rides are lighter, this is a heavy ride which has more stick definition than a lighter, brighter ride, it's all about what genre of music your playing and beyond that, the sound the drummer is looking for
@CJMdrummer666 I play all sorts of styles but mostly metal, but I don't like that muffling sound. And the one I really prefer is the signature ride that Nicko McBrain (from iron maiden) has, its just so beatiful bright and light!
@MrRoyWesten Well, I think hes testing the 24" Rock Ride, I ordered a 20" Rock Ride and I gotta say, they bell is high enough to pierce tank Armor and the body is nice and warm
Stop speaking German and just hit the bloody thing!

Ersteinmal empfand ich das Video als informativ den Becken gegenüber und bedanke mich auch!
Der Sound ist klasse und der Schlagzeuger top!
Nur interessiert es mich, obwohl es nicht zum Thema der Becken passt, womit das ganze aufgenommen wurde.
Ich würde mich sehr über eine Antwort freuen. LG
