2024 Zildjian Custom Special Dry Pack and Zildjian K Sweet Pack

I purchased the Zildjian Custom Special Dry Pack in 2019 to use on my lesson kit. I sold the (Gretsch Energy) lesson kit and got a Traps kit. I decided it was time for a new sound from the cymbals too so I listed the dry pack to be sold and picked up a Zildjian K Sweet pack. Before the dry pack went bye bye, I thought it would be fun to compare them. They both have a great sound, but sound different from each other. I also play them with other cymbals that I have to give a little more context to how they sound. Check out the video.

The recording is with both sets of cymbals on 'the big' kit. Normally I wouldn't have them on this kit but all of my recording gear is setup on the big kit so I just set the cymbal packs up there for the recording.

Yes, I have a lot of cymbals. Yes, I have a lot of drums. Yes, I have heard that said before.
