What sizes are you using?I've played HHX (Evolution) cymbals at length and own a set of K Sweets. I'd have to give the edge to the Zildjians. I play rock, blues, country, pop and R&B and the K Sweets work perfectly for all of those genres.
Check out this review:
I play the 17-18-19 inch crashes and the 21 inch ride. I'll add the 20" crash eventually, and probably the 16" too. I went with the 16" hi-hats and am super glad that I did. They're lovely cymbals.What sizes are you using?
I was going to go with 15,17,19,21 pack. How is the 19”. Some videos spund good others it spunds kind of “clunky”?I play the 17-18-19 inch crashes and the 21 inch ride.

I think the 19" is the best of the crashes, frankly. The 17" and 19" are a perfect pairing.
I shared my kit and crashes with another drummer at a show last year and got to hear the cymbals from the audience's perspective. They sounded utterly fantastic from that vantage point. It was a real treat to hear them that way.
The Meinls being the dry trashy ones!I appreciate your help. I still cant get the dry, trashy sound out of my head, but wife even agrees she likes the sound of the sweets better than the Meinl pack
My pleasure. Let us know what you choose when you decide on a set.I appreciate your help. I still cant get the dry, trashy sound out of my head, but wife even agrees she likes the sound of the sweets better than the Meinl pack
Can’t decide on which one? I really had my heart set on The Meinl Mike Johnston Pack, but I didnt think they would sit very well for Country, Blues, and Classic Rock. Any suggestions? Im open to anything. Thanks in advance!
I'm Canadian, FWIW ?If you're in the US, you go for Zildjian. If you're in Canada, you go Sabian.
If you go vice-versa, 20% of your money goes straight to the tax man rather than to the people that make your cymbal because a piece of bronze needs to cross an imaginary line.
And I’m about 45miles from the Sask, Manitoba borders! ?I'm Canadian, FWIW ?
Have you actually played both?...The K Sweet line are more versatile than the HHX Complex
I have actually. The K sweets to me are like the A customs ... but darker. They just work better if I want an versatile cymbal.Have you actually played both?...
Dang I’m sorry that don’t like Zildjian, but I hope you’ll find your sound in what you love.A Customs but darker.... Meh... Good to know. in that case, I will continue to stay away from Zildjian. ?
