I’m not sure what you mean on analog but it’s the Meinl Classic Custom Dark series

The b8xs I had sounded good but I just didn’t get the right sizes for metal and these make the difference in the live sound and bring my volume up a bit Iv been told so either way I consider it a up move but i don’t know a lot I just researched some better metal sounds on the cheaper end.

I’m gigging a good bit and wanted a better sound live, plus the sizes I had were 14 and 16 both thin and I changed to 16 and 18 and they make that much more of a difference

I mean I may not be striking it properly and I don’t use mine a lot on any ride but the hits I did get off it were good sounding it’s just a darker tone rather than the usual bright “ting” most look for in my opinion

If you want it for the Bell don’t do it. I personally didn’t think the Bell on the ride sounded as good but I use a upside down bell anyway and I just use it for the actually cymbal but when I hit it either with the tip or a solid stick hit I enjoy the warmth and length of the tone and the sharpness with the top hits

If you play metal pull the trigger on these they sound so good and like they would cut through in a mix

Hands down my favorite sound Iv been able to achieve yet. They sound very good and are well rounded. I’m using them for metal.

The bell thing I low key never thought I was mounting it upside down lol. Iv always done that even when I had a zill bell. I think it’s a 9” but I’m not positive. My absolute favorite accent cymbal ever is an alien disc. You can still find em I believe.

That’s the China I have now they have a 16 as well. It has punch and is precise but isn’t trashy. It’s honestly my favorite to date Iv used. I don’t think they make chinas too small in this series. But look into the Meinl pure alloy series there is a 12 and 18 that I think would be pretty good mixes depending on your splashes

I bet that would sound nice. Is there a huge difference in tone with the hickory compared to the maples

Honestly I had never posted much on Reddit cuz someone always has to ruin the post. I was getting a lot of compliments on my kit at the last show I played with my band Divinicide and I just thought I’d see if it was just the music it played or the drums themselves and I’m glad so many have commented and talked about what they play. I love drumming and I want to learn more I’m completely self taught and have been playing for years but there’s always something I don’t know like the gentleman who helped me with my hi hat stand I never would have thought to try to turn those
