This is the video I’ve been looking for! I was wanting some explanation about the differences between your different cymbal families. I think I like the landmarks the best because I love Brian Blade, but each group you played and made me think, “wait, maybe this is a symbol I need….” I’ll be getting one for sure, but probably not for a little while. Won’t be cheap to get one of these up to Canada with our little CAD dollars;)
They all sound great! I want them all. I'm always a fan of the Labyrinths, but intrigued by the Tributary and Duco cymbals. What a wide range of sounds across all of the lines. Great video! One take, too! Loved the Scofield groove at 5:37 🙌
Loved them all!!! I got my first flat ride a couple of months ago, a 20" Meinl Jazz Club Sizzler, and it hasn't been off my kit since, but the trade off is little crashability, and no bell. However, your half-flat rides are really intriguing - great work, Timothy.
Hey Tim, "Hot Sauce" from Cleveland here! Firstly, you're a bad motorscooter as a player, your technique and feel remind me a lot of Carter McLean. These are ALL amazing cymbals!!! Great video and keep doing what you're doing brother!!!
I’m gonna go against the grain a bit, and say the Duco’s are my favorite. I’m a huge fan of Turk style cymbals (my Meinl Transition Ride is my favorite cymbal), and that half lathed/half unlathed cymbal was absolute magic. Bravo, my friend!!!
You should add some Flat crashes to the prism series. The rides already crash really well, but for the crashes you could do smaller sizes, and you could prioritize the crash over the stick definition, and make them crazy thin, super heavy tapers on the edges. Flat chinas would be cool too, meinl makes one that sounds neat.
did you learn how to do all this by experimenting? It's great ur offering stuff you can't get from most big companies. small bell with a tributary patina would go crazy. someday I'll commission a set of cymbals like that from you.
have you ever considered using kuppmen carbon fibre 7as / 5as? theyve been getting more popular as of late and i think a lot of people would be curious how your cymbals sound when using them
You have explained in the past how to get the separation of stick and wash that makes for a great jazz cymbal and defines the sounds of the best old Ks. Why can't the big cymbal makers like Zildjian and Sabian ever make cymbals like that? Paiste has sometimes done it with some of their cymbals.
To me it's just big business. It's not cost-effective for them to make cymbals that are all balanced, well tuned, and interesting. They have to crank them out hundreds at a time.
@@ReverieDrumCo That makes sense. What is the actual difference? Do they just not hammer them enough because more hammering equals more time and money?
@@ReverieDrumCo I don't know your time line on how long it takes to complete a cymbal, but I have been searching for quite a while for a 22" swish no rivets , comparable to paiste masters,or meinl china ride.light enough for low volume situations.in the event you are able to complete one by the time of the Chicago drum show,hang onto it and I'll be there sunday.i have a couple of buddies that both have booths as well that will be there. I have reached out to both paiste and meinl and never got a reply. !!!! Usually when I've seen one on line it's sold B4 I get the chance to pull the trigger. If they were consistent in weight and sound there wouldn't be a problem,but they very a lot and there for the search is been never ending.Sorry for the long message,, I'm dam near 70 years old and when I seen the products your putting out, it really sparked my interest.i think your the guy that can build what I'm looking for. See you at the show.
Like the Pokémon of old, you just gotta collect them all. I was fine till you pulled out the Duco, damn son don’t you know Christmas is coming and my kids are gonna want some shit under the tree other than a cymbal for me? You and your crashable flat ride voodoo nonsense. Thanks for another installment of “how John winds up divorced over drum shit”
They were so good and unique on their own I had to watch this same video a few times. Every means deserving!

Half flat with a tributary patina would be insane! If I ever get the money I'm gonna commission this!! Love your cymbals dude!
Heck yeah! That would be awesome.
The half flats are amazing! Definitely my favourites

Nice catch! "Over Big Top" from En Route, probably my favorite tune from that trio. Thanks a bunch Eric!
Probably the best demonstration video I've seen yet on various styles of cymbals. Really good work!
Thank you!
I love them all!
If l had to choose a favorite series, l'd go with the Landmark.
Great stuff, Timothy!
Thank you!
Nice! If you like Brian Blade (one of the best cymbals sounds) and Bill Stewart you are in the good track. Love your work. Greetings from Chile!
Thanks! I love those guy's sound.
I think my fav is the Landmark. But all of them are so amazing Tim!!!

Thanks! I dig those meinl clubs. The ones I've played are nice.
Such a great video, and fantastic playing too! Love the half flats
Glad you enjoyed it
The Duuco series hits my ear/heart! Yeah! Baby!
Flat rides, too!

wow, thanks! I've got a long way to go on the playing but I'm working on it!
Checked some out today at 2112 in Raleigh... A M A Z I N G
Thanks! I'm happy to have them in that shop. It's one of my favorites.
Love em all bro!!!! The half flats and the smaller Duco really tickled my fancy!
Thanks Aaron!

I'm getting more and more of that feedback. The next month or two I'll be making a bunch more Ducos. Thanks for watching!
You look like you're having so much fun playing those flat rides.
I certainly am!
Dang! Darn! Dang! They all sound wonderful, Timothy. After the new year I will look into getting one for the store and put it on the showroom floor.
Thanks!
Beautiful cymbals… and playing! Thank you!
Thanks!
They all sound fantastic, you make really nice stuff, killer drummer too!
The Tributary series is crazy good wow!
Thanks!
That big half flat is insane - reminds me a lot of my 22 inch meinl vintage crash but then with better stick definition - AWESOME!
Thanks!
The half flats … LOVE em!!!
First Prism flat ride is great! Great definition and excellent china-like staccato crashability!
those flat crashes are insane
beautiful instruments brotha!
Th smaller Duco and Half-Flat in the main position definitely did it for me. Incredible sounding and the right amount of trashiness!
Thanks Aron!
Roberts has big ears and his cymbals are sweet. He's the real deal and a special craftsman.
Thank you!

That's a great idea!
I need to get better at jazz to deserve some of these amazing cymbals. Tributary and the Labyrinth were my favorite. Might even go for a Prism.
Thanks!
Beautiful cymbals man
Simply awesome Tim!!
I want all of them. Well done!
Bellissimi piatti. Grande lavoro!

Yep! A whole lot of trial and error. I basically taught myself with some help from my mentors. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful cymbals
The third Labyrinth is great!!!
have you ever considered using kuppmen carbon fibre 7as / 5as? theyve been getting more popular as of late and i think a lot of people would be curious how your cymbals sound when using them
I haven't! I'll definitely need to check those out.

Hey Tim, why didn’t you spotlight the hi-hats?
That's coming in a future video!
what was the size and weight of the lowest in pitch cymbal on YOUR far right from the demo of the landmark line please?
@@lawrenceyolles9541 it’s a 22 that weighs around 2500 g
What about a 22" china ride in the prizem series, with some rivets.kinda like meinl byzance,or paiste masters.????
That would be killer! I'll have to try that.
@@ReverieDrumCo sir,will you be attending the Chicago drum show in May??

love the mini-bell prisms and the tributary rides. but... no hi hats?
I'm saving those for a future video!

haha! Your comments are my favorite!
IMPRESSIVE!! (if ONLY major manufacturers sounded as good...)
That doesn't matter anymore because the drumming world has Tim!!!
Wanna buy some janky Sabian "manhole covers" that rumble & roar CHEAP??? (big whoop Hand Hammered variety...) @@brent3760
haha thanks brent!
super cymbals. but you talk too much on this video
Yeah.... my wife says the same thing! haha
