Millenium Still Series Cymbal Set

We have a band room around 4 by 5 meters. It's better to keep instruments more quiet in such a small space for better readability of any single instrument. These cymbals help a lot in this case. They are impossible to play loud.

Pros:
- they are quiet (like really-really quiet). I can smash the crashes with my full power and they still will be quieter than toms/snare drum
- they are cheap. I put them on the drumkit and I don't care if bass player or guitarist plays them
- they are light! easy to carry around
- look a bit like cheese, if you like cheese like me, that's a bonus

Cons:
- the edges of the holes are not very neat. I actually cut my skin on an index finger by simple carrying ride cymbal with it (using it kind of like a stand). That's usually not a problem with normal cymbals
- the sound is more on a hissing side, hi-hat sounds especially nasty when open. In my opinion, they are not good for recording or any kind of live situation (at least for music I am playing). Might be good only if loudness is an issue, but you might also just take lighter sticks/play quieter and not sacrifice sound quality of normal concert cymbal set.

Overall, good inside a small room. Not good for recordings or concerts.

There's no denying, it's a bang for your buck.
Bought them to replace cracked zildjian low volume ones. These seem to be have some kind of a high frequency fizz that z's don't have and overall sound that comes out of them isn't as pleasant as zildjians for my personal preference. However I'm more than happy to buy the whole set of these for the price of one z ride! A little piece of gaff tape seems to tame the hiss really well. Bells pretty much don't exist on low volume cymbals, so these aren't an exeption either. Hopefully they'll last a while!

In my opinion the Millenium Still series cymbal are excellent for players who may not have to opportunity to make a lot of noise. These great sounding cymbals are a cheap way to lower to volume of your home studio drastically. I was planning on purchasing the Zildjian L80s for a long time however upon reassuring myself that i was making to right decision, I can across the Still series. The first thing i noticed was that the Stills were €50 less expensive and included an extra crash. As a person who uses many crash cymbals this drew me in right away. After reading numerous reviews about the cymbals I decided that they were the way forward and i am very happy to have purchased them. They are great for use in apartments or other areas with many neighbours in close proximity. Can even be used in some small, quiet gigs, especially the hats have a nice tone. Thin, Light cymbals. Not for recording. Great for practice. Very quiet. WOULD DEFINETELY RECOMMEND!!!

I bought these for home rehearsal with mesh batter heads and standard resonators. The mid-high frequencies put out by these were such that I couldn't hear a thing I was doing with the drums themselves, and they left me with temporary hearing damage for a while after a fifteen minute session. The problem is much more obvious on the hats than the others, but all cymbals are far too obnoxious for me. In many respects, they are 'louder' than 'real' cymbals, to my ears, most likely due to the squealing frequencies involved.

I decided to go for another very popular premium brand and they are much better! I can hear what I'm doing on the drums just fine and can use them without ear protection quite comfortably.

The Millenium cymbals, while cheaper, do offer a close representation for the feel of 'real' cymbals, but I'm sad to say that there is where all plus points terminate for me.

As it stands, I have this set of cymbals doing nothing now and I'm not all that keen on the idea of even giving them away... so I might turn them into a work of 'modern art'.

So glad I finally bought these! After a couple of months of having these in my basket the coronavirus lockdown boredom pushed me to finally make the purchase.

So impressed. Firstly they look great, I know it's not really about that but the silver finish looks amazing.

I'm so surprised by the sound quality, they're excellent, they feel and sound like real cymbals... but at a volume I can talk/sing over easily.

I plan to use these for practice but after playing them I think they'll work well for home demo recordings as well. Admittedly I've never tried any other brands but at this price and sounding this good, I'm happy and won't be looking to upgrade any time soon.

One of the best musical instrument type purchases I've ever made. Great value, great sound.

I use these for practise with my band. When I got them I thought they felt light and possibly a bit flimsy, so made a mental note to be gentle on them (I can be a heavy hitter). I had no need to. They're far stronger than I expected and are still looking great after 6 months of 3+times a week practise for 4hrs minimum.

The sound of them in isolation seems very thin and I found myself wondering if they would cut through a band, but they do without the ear-piercing to go with it but for anything more than an acoustic/gentle jazz they would certainly get lost on stage.

We did make some scratch recordings for reference and somehow they came through the mic's (recorderman and kick) with great balance against regular acoustic shells and snare.

It would be great to see some fx cymbals for the 'All options' feel, however for what I use them for I'm more than happy and will probably buy a 2nd set for home use when funds allow.
