Millenium Still Series Cymbal Set reg. 5-stars Reviews

Amazing

They do what they promise, great reduced volume but enough for playing drums...and sounding good.

Outstanding practice cymbals for little money

Really nice cymbals for practice. Get the job done, no less, no more. Value for sure compared to bigger brands!

Adăugate unui set de cinele clasice, aduc un plus de culoare excepțional!

Good quality quiet cymbals!

I set up at home and it's not too loud as I expected! Sounds not too bad!

A great choice for reducing volume, at a great price.

Having multiple kits that require reduced volume, I've always gone with pads as a quick, cheap option, but I decided to spend a bit more with reduced volume heads and reduced volume cymbals, so I can include that as a future option if needed.

These cymbals will always draw comparisons to the more expensive Zildjian and Sabian versions, but I believe these are the better choice, unless money really is no concern.

The build quality is great, they're aesthetically pleasing, and the price is just too good to pass up, especially if you compare the price of the set compared to buying them individually.

In terms of sound, they're really quiet, (I tried them out at one in the morning with no problems!), and they should be played with good, balanced sticks; as the stick attack is almost as loud as the ring of the cymbal itself. They have a satisfying and complete sound. There are no real awkward overtones or nasty metallic buzzes, with the ride cymbal sounding particularly smooth, with the smaller cymbals being slightly more tinny.

The only stand out negative, are the logos. This is an issue on most Millennium/Zultan cymbals, even on the most expensive 'Zultan Heritage' range. They use some kind of ink and process that flakes off pretty easily, even without striking the logo with the sticks. The cymbals arrived with the logos looking slightly scuffed already, so don't expect the logos to last, even if you handle the cymbals carefully.

Overall, very happy!

Worth of money

It’s a nice product. Compared with other brand price is affordable.

Hi hat cymbals quite louder than other cymbals but it’s value for money product.

Sound is really comfortable with the self practice .

Stick rebounding is perfect feel like pro cymbals

Awesome! Just awesome!

One of the best purchases I've ever made. If you want a complete kit of cymbals for practice and you don't care about sound, this is THE choice. The only negative thing I've found is that in my experience they "choke" the sticks a lot more than my bronze cymbals

Drum roll

Nice sound and I like this golden color...with the silver crashes together I have many different sounds and combinations

Me and my neighbours love them

I should have bought these a long time ago! They feel great. Sound is perfect for the kit if have to practise on in the garage.

And they actually sound really good too! Can achieve similar effects (hi hat splashes/ bell hits) like you would with normal cymbals. I feel every drummer should have a set of these!

Skeptical of quietness, but happily proved wrong

Swapped out my rubber cymbals from my old Yamaha DTXtremeIII, because I wanted better feel. I took a punt on these because they were so cheap. I am so happy I took the plunge:

Very quiet: they can seem a bit loud on playing, but the sound dissipates very quickly: kids cannot hear them in their bedroom directly above.

Great feel: very light because of lack of material, but overwhelming real feel when compared to rubber pads. A true game game changer in the evolution of quiet drum tech.

Great looks: aesthetically, they look fantastic, even for a budget product. Why would you even bother going with the more expensive Zildjian, other than branding snobbery.

amazing value

This cymbals do the job for way less money that other competitors.

They sound absolutely fine!

Great Replacement for Roland CY-5 Cymbals

Bought these to replace the stock Roland CY-5 cymbals that came with the kit. My children's drum tutor uses them and recommended we get a set as they provide a much more authentic feel and sound whilst keeping the volume low. Very pleased with the product and would highly recommend.

Beginner drummer feedback

The sound is great, it is not as good as regular cymbals but still, this is the best bang for the buck on the market right now. I wish the ride bell was bigger, but it would have been much louder in my opinion, still a good bell sound for practice. Nothing much to say about crashes, they sound great in my opinion. The hi-hat is a bit loud, this is coming from a person who is living in an apartment, but if you are in a house, you won't disturb anyone. Highly recommend them!

Great Practice Cymbals

Use in my apartment to practice and to not disturb the neighbors

great cymbal set i recommend this and a good price on this set

Great for home studying.

I recommend them if you want the natural feel of cymbals with low volume. I use this with my mesh head kit Remo Silent Stroke

Amazing budget set

When lockdown kicked in i decided to invest in a set of these (with some mesh heads) and set up the kit in the attic. Just for reference i'm a heavy handed hard rock drummer for 15 years.

Volume: I find it very good, it's much quieter than my normal (medium and heavy) cymbals but that's expected.. No complaints from the neighbours over 6 months.

Feel: Not bad at all, perfectly playable.

Tone: If you keep in mind that these are not for your studio recording, i think it's fine. A little harsher, a little more high frequencies, less body. As expected. Only the HH feels a bit too harsh for my ears.

Durability: No problem over 6 months with my heavy hands.

I'd recommend these to anyone who wants to have a set of quiet cymbals.. You can go for the big brands and pay 3x the money, get 1-2 dB noise reduction and a touch more tone.. but i don't see the point as i'll only use them for practice in the attic and maybe maybe an occasional acoustic gig.

pleasant surprise

Nice cymbal tone. beautiful finish. Great for home studying.

I recommend them if you want the natural feel of cymbals with low volume.

Great cymbals!

Amazing for the price. They sound as good as low volumes can get, and they look pretty good too (no practise cymbal logos here). They really are low volume too.

My only gripe is that the hihats aren't very heavy, so they feel a little odd and don't quite close all the way, even when messing with spring settings.

But for the price? They're perfect.

I don't see why you would buy the more expensive ones

These cymbals are quiet, do the job very well. Very important : THEY ARE THE REAL SIZE! Not like other manufacturer's (we all know who I'm talking about) 13" hi-hats, 14" crashes, and 18'' rides (Yikes!). When you practice at home the size of the cymbals is one of the most important things to consider. The cons: hi-hats are the loudest. You can somewhat mitigate that by putting a small towel or a cloth between them though, also because of the lighter weight the ride especially but also the crashes swing more than the real thing. Aside from that, very satisfied, will recommend these to anyone who for some reason can't practice on the real cymbals, these come very very close to them. And also you get an extra 18" crash, how cool is that!

Exceptional low volume cymbals

No matter the low cost Millenium low volume cymbals do stand out. Hi hat extremely good sound quality the rest need a stronger stick approach. All in all they do cover really good the needs for a home studio practice set up as they will keep your neighbours calm and stress free. Totally recommended

Great Low Volume Cymbals for the Money

I bought these along with the Millennium China Cymbal so I could practice during the 2020 lockdown.

I wasn't sure what to expect as they are not particularly expensive. But when they arrived I was really surprised.

The build quality and finish of them is really high.

The sound is exactly what I expected from a low volume cymbal. And they are surprisingly heavy too.

If you are looking for a non expensive set of cymbals to practice without annoying your other half and the neighbours, these are definitely the cymbal for you.
