Drums, Cymbals and Percussion Instrument at Drum Center of Portsmouth

Love the hihats and the ride cymbal. Great feel and just enough volume.
Crashes have good feel but lack body and volume.
Oh yeah, they are low volume.
All in all, very satisfied with the set.

Awesome Drum

This is another awesome cymbal from the Avenir brand. Drum Center of Portsmouth did an awesome job of recording all of the lines of cymbals and showing each size which made it easy to find the exact sounds I was looking for. I own this one and a 16" crash from the Shadow line and both are great. Sound very much like the videos. Quality seems to be solid. Overall great cymbals that I will definitely be purchasing more of.

Thank you! I received the hoop in good condition.

Thank you

I love it. Fast delivery. Works as it should.

Wonderful accent cymbal for a quick washy crash. Lots of fun.

I dont know how many Zildjians I've bought and sold to get the early Peart ride sound. So many Pings and Sweets, Custom and Regular A's. But this is the closest so far. Meinl did a geat job that usually only Paiste can do (and once Zildjian/Canadian Sabian did), make a heavy cymbal still sound so good. This comes pretty close to what you hear on Test for Echo and Counterparts, and nothing like the video Meinl just put out that sounds like it has lots of faint wash and hardly any Ping, it does have some wash, but not as much as you hear in their video and has plenty of Ping in real life- and thats a good thing.

What Sabian or Modern Zildjian could not do- make a 14" version of Neils hats with the tasteful artwork by Anika. Its a keeper, the only non Paiste hats I now own. I might pair it with a Mastersound B15 bottom if I need more brighness when needed.

These drums are great! Worked with Max to figure out what would be best and he was extremely helpful! I highly recommend this place.

Great part..Gold plating is Excellent

A lot of Drum for the price! Seems well crafted, very attractive Drum. Still working on my sound a bit.

Great in person phone conversation.
Nice to talk with a human these days!
All my gear arrived packed good and in time shipping with tracking capabilities.
I will purchase from them again without hesitation!

They fit great in the countersunk factory holes in my vintage diecast Ludwig hoops!

Ok so I might be biased being a die hard maiden fan, but this snare is something really special. It sounds great, deep end resonant. And the artwork is just awesome! Love the black, red, and white color scheme. If you're a maiden fan, this is a no brainer!
