My set consists of cymbals from different series. I chose them based on sound, not appearance. 14” hi-hat Let’s Hybrid Brilliant series. Oh, that dual tone of the hi-hat! Very beautiful notes, like in a clock. This hat is informative, with good dynamics. 20” ride Chimera, with a black bronze patina. I need a ride that doesn’t crash, has a clear ping and a bell with a clean sound. This one hit the nail on the head! It’s also quiet enough and easily fit into our overall mix. The crashes are traditional: 16” and 18” crashes of Izmir series (younger brother of Neoclassic). Clear, predictable and so classic sound. And the small, but mighty, 8” splash from the Thunder Earth series. Fast, bright, dynamic.
We chose the set together with my technician - it’s important that the sound is not only pleasing to me, but also perfectly suits the team.
