So, while shooting the Tribute -cover I was also choosing new Impression crash cymbals to add to my set. Since all the video and audio gear was there good to go, I recorded these to hear how they sound thru the mics. ( And daymn, I was supposed to add one crash but I had to keep two of them :P )
I'll publish this soundcheck clip to give the manufacturer/dealer some love back and hopefully it will help other people as well. Enjoy.
Cymbals in the video:
14” prototype hihat

Played with Balbex G5B hornbeam sticks.
Recorded with Rode NT-5 overheads. A little compression used, mostly just to bring the volume up.
