In this video, we have set up a hybrid electro-acoustic drum kit, combining the Agean "R" Low Noise Cymbals (recorded with a pair of stereo overhead mics) with drum-tec diabolo electronic drums, connected to Roland TD-25 / TD-30 and ATV aD5 sound modules.
You can find all of the components from the video in our online shop:

agean has really completely changed the game of silent Cymbals. These Cymbals combined with the Diablo sound literally as an acoustic instrument. Agean. You MAKE IT!!!
Now finally they did the right Cymbals to use with E Drums. instead of investing 20,000 in a studio it is smarter to buy a Diablo + Agean Cymbals. Congratulations AGEAN you really make the best silent Cymbals ever!!!
the last clip with the TD-30 was literally the best electronic kit sound I've heard in a looong time, nice job
Thank you very much Marton! :)
amazing playing mate great feel
Thank you very much! :)
sounds and looks very cool!
These Agean cymbals sound great. I wish I could use them, but still too noisy for my situation. Great playing, as always!
Amazing!
You look like you’re enjoying those cymbals! I am too. They sound so good
Absolutely, they are great to play and sound/feel real nice. Kind regards!
They definitely blend the best with the aD5. The aD5 has a dry, natural tone that works well with the Agean cymbals.
Your videos never cease to amaze me. I need to upgrade my crimson 2 it sounds horrible compared to these. But your fills are absolutely amazing and you're the best drum guy I see on here trying diff kits and I need to order your heads
Hey Kenny, thank you very much! :) If you need any product info or assistance, please don´t hesitate to get in touch through info@drum-tec.de directly, the guys will gladly help you out. Kind regards!
Wow i like these cymbals, the feeling of the cymbals must be a lot better then the rubber e cymbals. I also like the sound of these cymbals👍 think the are great for jamm sessions and small gigs like I used to do.
The Agean stuff is amazing. I'm leaning heavier and heavier into this hybrid setup.
Low noise but very musical, pleasant, so, acoustically mic approved too...
This Ride sounds like zildjian constantinople medium thin low 20!
You make me want to get on the kit and rage!!
:-D hope that's a good thing!
Sounds excellent. How are you monitoring the levels of the cymbals into your headphones? Are you using a separate audio interface?
exactly the question I was going to ask Scott??
Hey Scott, yes. Both the signals of the two OH mics as well as the sound modules´ stereo outputs can go into an external small mixer/audio interface for integration/monitoring/recording. Kind regards!
Thank you.
Could you try the Agean cymbals with the Zildjian Gen 16 Module. Would love to see how that would sound.
Hey guys, this is on our list next :) kind regards!
+drumtecTV dammn that would be killer
Hey folks, after some testing we sadly cannot recommend using the Ageans with Gen16 pickups. The Agean´s holes are slightly bigger than the Gen16s, so the pickups won´t fit nicely & create a rattling trashy sound when the cymbals are played. In addition to that, the mounting of the pickups makes the cymbals sound "choked" and they lose a fair amount of their nice natural sustain. So our recommendation is using them with overhead mics. Sorry for that & kind regards!
+drumtecTV too bad...danke trotzdem
drumtecTV its all good at least you tried. How about getting your hands on the Sabian Quiet Tone series?
Hello DrumTec! How you have mix the sound with electronic drum and Agean Cymbals? With the Yamaha MG06 or other? How the sound of toms, snare and "grosse caisse ;-)" don't go to the overhead mic?
Winner! TD-30
Keren sperti biasa
Hey guys! Do you have the traditional finish low
volume cymbals from Agean? How do they sounds/compare? Would love to see a video on those!
Hi there, yes coming up soon! :)
Awesome! Very much looking forward to it
Thank you as always for video, please tell me from what sort of wood made this drum and what is the base drums? is it Sonor brand?
Thank you very much! Only our pro & pro custom series e-drums have the Sonor shells. You can find more info on all drum-tec products over here:

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de, kidn regards!
HI, do you know if it's possible to put aegean R cymbals with the zildjan dcp system? The gen 16 sound is not very good, but maybe, combine aegean with dip would be better. I search a system for using acoustic drum with electronic cymbals for professionally using. I often play in small places and the traditional cymbals sound is too much took by the singer microphone. Thanks for your help.
No, it does not work. You better use a pair of overhead mics for the cymbals, this makes the setup a lot cheaper & easier to handle (otherwise you would need the Gen16 pickups AND module). Apart from this, any acoustic cymbals will sound considerably better through a pair of stereo overheads, then through a direct pickup. (try holding you ear directly to a cymbal...) ;-D kind regards!
Hallo Drum-Tec,
welche Größen haben die Crash´s und die Hi-Hat in diesem Video?
Hallo Thomas, die Infos findest du ab 0:40 im Video eingeblendet! :) Viele Grüße!
Oh ja, übersehen...Dankeschön!
Do you think it will be possible to build an adapter for the gen16 pickup and mount without changing the sound?
Hi Glen, no probably not, as the Agean cymbals are also thinner than the Gen16 cymbals, so their sound gets choked real quickly when applying anything like a pickup. Kind regards!
What do you use for recording the cymbals on a software like Logic Pro X, I mean does the mics are plug-in ? Thanks
Great video Rolf, but didn't you have difficulties with recording the cymbals? Than you here the drumsound (raw sound from the pads to) How did you filter that my friend? You drumming skills are allways awesome my friend! I hope you do some more videos with playing on music, that was awesome to. 👍🤛🍺
Hey Rob, thank you very much! No problems there, the mesh heads from the drum-tec pads are so silent that you don´t hear them anymore when mixing overhead & module sound :) kind regards!
Good question.
drumtecTV im very happy to know that drum heads don’t have interference on cymbals microphones.
Hi Joao, the heads are audible on your overhead mics. But if the OH mics are placed well, the mesh sound from the drums is so silent, that you won´t hear it anymore when you bring the sound module in the mix. Kind regards!
Thank you Drum Tec. I'm from Brazil and I've never been to Europe. I'm scheduling a trip to France and Germany just to buy my Diabolo with you. Is it possible to visit the Showroom to do my shopping with you?
Which model Agean cymbals are you using? Or is there only one?
Hey Douglas, in this demo it's the Agean R Series. But there's also the "Flat R" and the "Natural Jazz" series:

Kind regards!
Are the cymbals loud enough for small gigs?
Hey Roel, they probably are, you could still mic them up with a pair of overheads if you need more control & volume. In comparison with an acoustic kit, they are rather silent though. Kind regards!
Are these symbals quiet enough to play in an apartment?
Whats the depth on the Tom Tom?

Kind regards!
Ist es damit möglich, in einer nachbarfreundlichen Lautstärke zu üben?
Die Agean Low Noise Becken sind deutlich leiser als normale Becken, dh prinzipiell ja! Kommt aber auf die Nachbarn & die räumlichen Verhältnisse an ;) für eine Mietwohnung sind low noise Becken allgemein wahrscheinlich zu laut. Viele Grüße!
drumtecTV Und die umgerüsten Toms etc wie verhält sich das? Mit einem klassischen E-Set wird das zu laut sein, die sind halt nicht auf Lautstärke optimiert.
Besuche doch mal www.drum-tec.de/pads für einen Überblick über unsere (sehr leisen mesh head) e-drum pads, um dir einen Überblick zu verschaffen. In Kombination mit Roland e-cymbals definitv leise genug um in Mietwohnungen zu spielen :)
How do you record the electric drums with the low volume cymbals

if you're wearing headphones, how do you hear the cymbals ?
Hi, either you use an amplifier for your e-drum sound module & no headphones at all, or you plug 2 overhead mics + the stereo output from the sound module into a small mixer / audio interface for monitoring with headphones! Kind regards
drumtecTV OK thanks for the help!
No pearl mimic?
Hey Matthew! We were thinking, that you probably won´t be looking for a cymbal alternative necessarily when using the Steven Slate library from the Pearl Mimic :) The setup would nonetheless work with any sound module obviously. Kind regards!
Makes sense pearl mimic cyms r amazing
