Ralf Gustke: M-Series

Описание: in order to introduce the sound of our new cymbal series, we recently booked a studio for a day and had our artist ralf gustke record a couple of new audio/video clips. we've set up a drum kit and the only thing that changed were the cymbals. all of those clips are now mixed and edited and ready to go online. we hope those clips will help you to get a better understanding what every series is all about as far as its sound and will help to make the right decision.

to begin with, here is the clip demonstrating our new m-series cymbals.

other clips which we've recorded feature the new soundcaster fusion series cymbals, new byzance series cymbals, classics, mcs, and hcs series. all these clips will go online within the next two days. i will make a short announcement every time we put a new video online.

at the end of every video you see the listing of exactly which cymbal has been used in that clip. ralf's playing kicks ass in every video.
