Order placed! I'm so glad this is finally out! Thank you to you and Zildjian for making this happen. I have loved watching the progress on this. Congratz man, continuing to cement yourself as a pillar of the heavy drumming community.
Cheers from this old man who’s been looking for a ride to do exactly this for some years now, with no luck so far. Looking forward to snagging one when Zildjian get their butts in gear and make more.
All the good feels, absolutely stoked for you. Props to Zildjian for helping, but good on YOU for making this happen and getting to where you are now. That pretty play button is coming in no time.
In terms of aesthetic, this video is insanely satisfying! The camera quality and the editing are so good! Congratulations on the cymbal, sounds insane 🤘🏻
Be blessed Craig! I’m happy and excited for you and for the ride and the new kit and for the fact that things are going to get better too🤟🏼 keep it up dawg
@@AndrewDRoyappaMy LDS is one of the biggest shops in the US, so I’m hoping so! I’m also pretty sure this cymbal, or a version of this cymbal, will be put into production. There’s just too big of a market for a ride like this.
@@liamfitzdrumsthey do the finish work (lathing, machine hammering, holes for the trash crashes, probs more stuff that I'm missing) at the German factory I believe.
@@mars_over There are 2 companies owned by 2 brothers; Murat Diril and Ibraham Diril. Both brothers use to work for Meinl and helped to create the Byzance line (they also helped to make the Paiste Twenty line) prior to leaving to make their own cymbals. Now, as far as I know (and I might be wrong), but Meinl actually buys blanks off of either one of or both of the brothers and stamps their logos on them.
@@liamfitzdrums wow, this is seriously interesting. I guess its maybe cheaper as far as production costs go? But still kinda weird since they charge an insane amount for most of their shit
Congrats, Craig! Although I know it's a long shot but.. are you selling your Meinl 21" R&D Ride by any chance? Interested buyer here. Talk soon. Cheers!
I'm so stoked for you dude! I'm ordering one next week as soon as my big paycheck comes in. I have been waiting for this announcement ever since you left your last sponsorship! Do you get a cut of the sales on the cymbal? or is it just a "we will give you what you want when you want it" kind of deal?
LETS GO UNCLE CRAIG

Thank YOU
Well said!
Just ordered mine 20 seconds ago!!!
Finally, somebody made this ride !Congratulations this is the dream! Very happy for you bro. Much love from Indiana. RESPECT
Great concept for a cymbal! Buttery crash with a crisp bell… Chefs kiss!
You literally read my mind, crashable rides are wassup. 21 is the new meta for rides and it's a K. Very usable bell. Checks all the boxes.
just purchased one! Been super stoked about this finally coming out!
Was gonna say, that take was so clean. “It’s just a paradiddle” *in Craig’s whingy voice*. I love that I know the song just from the drum part 🙌
Cheers from this old man who’s been looking for a ride to do exactly this for some years now, with no luck so far. Looking forward to snagging one when Zildjian get their butts in gear and make more.
That left crash is yuk can’t lie but that ride is unbelievably sick.
Congrats Craig! Well deserved. Great cymbal for a great drummer!
How in the f have you not heard of the Art of Drumming?? Their videos are excellent
Jesus of Nazareth the visual quality of this vlog is unbelievable. I love what a perfectionist you are it resonates with me soooo hard. Love you bro.
All the good feels, absolutely stoked for you. Props to Zildjian for helping, but good on YOU for making this happen and getting to where you are now. That pretty play button is coming in no time.
Those handheld shots during the fortuneteller playthrough were so sick
FUCK YEA! CONGRATS MAN!!!! Honestly a perfect crash/ride. I heard when you were comparing the prototypes and OG's. Sounds phenomenal
In terms of aesthetic, this video is insanely satisfying! The camera quality and the editing are so good! Congratulations on the cymbal, sounds insane 🤘🏻
Can’t wait for the play through video!
Be blessed Craig! I’m happy and excited for you and for the ride and the new kit and for the fact that things are going to get better too🤟🏼 keep it up dawg
Having your name on any flagship cymbal is an amazing feat. Congratulations on making this happen!

Theres only gonna be a few hundred in the world, you sure your shop is getting one? 😮

@@TomSawyer209 Super limited release as of right now. Pretty sure Craig mentioned that if they sell well it will be a less limited release.
great ride! love the crashability
Stoked for you man!

I have a 21 K sweet ride, and just ordered a 21 A sweet ride. But I will still order this one😆👌
Congrats! This thing will sell out within days. Zildjian is crazy limiting this bad boy, same goes for Tama and Brann's snare...
big congrats. I want.
This is an awesome day to witness. Well done mate
Didn't know there'd be that few of them made. Hope there is still strong interest in them!
MEINL COULD NEVER
Meinl don't even make their premium line. They source it from an outside company called Murat Diril and then they stamp their logo on it.
@@liamfitzdrums wait what?
@@liamfitzdrumsthey do the finish work (lathing, machine hammering, holes for the trash crashes, probs more stuff that I'm missing) at the German factory I believe.
@@mars_over There are 2 companies owned by 2 brothers; Murat Diril and Ibraham Diril. Both brothers use to work for Meinl and helped to create the Byzance line (they also helped to make the Paiste Twenty line) prior to leaving to make their own cymbals.

Do you get a cut of the sales on the cymbal? or is it just a "we will give you what you want when you want it" kind of deal?
Hell yeah CRRAEGG!! ❤❤ congrats man
Congrats!!
ORDERING MINE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW
Incredible achievement dude!
