There is also a lot going on in this track (Not to mention the distortion almost on every bass drum & crash hit) so one can’t really determine the true sound of the cymbals. All that said I still think they sound pretty good… They are Zildjian after all. “The only serious choice” Right? 😉
I just don’t think Travis barker using the Pitch Black cymbals is anything to be blown out of your seat about. He’s more than likely using them for looks. They match his black suede Remo’s after all!
