Full Cymbal Series Rundown - Timothy Roberts Cymbals

Love em all bro!!!! The half flats and the smaller Duco really tickled my fancy!

They were so good and unique on their own I had to watch this same video a few times. Every means deserving!

love the mini-bell prisms and the tributary rides. but... no hi hats?

Th smaller Duco and Half-Flat in the main position definitely did it for me. Incredible sounding and the right amount of trashiness!

Beautiful cymbals man

The half flats … LOVE em!!!

IMPRESSIVE!! (if ONLY major manufacturers sounded as good...)

Loved them all!!! I got my first flat ride a couple of months ago, a 20" Meinl Jazz Club Sizzler, and it hasn't been off my kit since, but the trade off is little crashability, and no bell. However, your half-flat rides are really intriguing - great work, Timothy.

fire

beautiful instruments brotha!

I need to get better at jazz to deserve some of these amazing cymbals. Tributary and the Labyrinth were my favorite. Might even go for a Prism.

have you ever considered using kuppmen carbon fibre 7as / 5as? theyve been getting more popular as of late and i think a lot of people would be curious how your cymbals sound when using them

Half flat with a tributary patina would be insane! If I ever get the money I'm gonna commission this!! Love your cymbals dude!

Simply awesome Tim!!

I think my fav is the Landmark. But all of them are so amazing Tim!!!

You look like you're having so much fun playing those flat rides.

Hey Tim, "Hot Sauce" from Cleveland here! Firstly, you're a bad motorscooter as a player, your technique and feel remind me a lot of Carter McLean. These are ALL amazing cymbals!!! Great video and keep doing what you're doing brother!!!

The third Labyrinth is great!!!

First Prism flat ride is great! Great definition and excellent china-like staccato crashability!

did you learn how to do all this by experimenting? It's great ur offering stuff you can't get from most big companies. small bell with a tributary patina would go crazy. someday I'll commission a set of cymbals like that from you.

Beautiful cymbals

Roberts has big ears and his cymbals are sweet. He's the real deal and a special craftsman.

Hey Tim, why didn’t you spotlight the hi-hats?

super cymbals. but you talk too much on this video

The half flats are amazing! Definitely my favourites

That big half flat is insane - reminds me a lot of my 22 inch meinl vintage crash but then with better stick definition - AWESOME!

Like the Pokémon of old, you just gotta collect them all. I was fine till you pulled out the Duco, damn son don’t you know Christmas is coming and my kids are gonna want some shit under the tree other than a cymbal for me? You and your crashable flat ride voodoo nonsense. Thanks for another installment of “how John winds up divorced over drum shit”

The Duuco series hits my ear/heart! Yeah! Baby!

They all sound fantastic, you make really nice stuff, killer drummer too!

The Tributary series is crazy good wow!

Bellissimi piatti. Grande lavoro!

Dang! Darn! Dang! They all sound wonderful, Timothy. After the new year I will look into getting one for the store and put it on the showroom floor.

You should add some Flat crashes to the prism series. The rides already crash really well, but for the crashes you could do smaller sizes, and you could prioritize the crash over the stick definition, and make them crazy thin, super heavy tapers on the edges. Flat chinas would be cool too, meinl makes one that sounds neat.

Beautiful cymbals… and playing! Thank you!

I’m gonna go against the grain a bit, and say the Duco’s are my favorite. I’m a huge fan of Turk style cymbals (my Meinl Transition Ride is my favorite cymbal), and that half lathed/half unlathed cymbal was absolute magic. Bravo, my friend!!!

Nice! If you like Brian Blade (one of the best cymbals sounds) and Bill Stewart you are in the good track. Love your work. Greetings from Chile!

I want all of them. Well done!

You have explained in the past how to get the separation of stick and wash that makes for a great jazz cymbal and defines the sounds of the best old Ks. Why can't the big cymbal makers like Zildjian and Sabian ever make cymbals like that? Paiste has sometimes done it with some of their cymbals.

Such a great video, and fantastic playing too! Love the half flats

I love them all!
If l had to choose a favorite series, l'd go with the Landmark.
Great stuff, Timothy!

Checked some out today at 2112 in Raleigh... A M A Z I N G

Probably the best demonstration video I've seen yet on various styles of cymbals. Really good work!

What about a 22" china ride in the prizem series, with some rivets.kinda like meinl byzance,or paiste masters.????

those flat crashes are insane

This is the video I’ve been looking for! I was wanting some explanation about the differences between your different cymbal families. I think I like the landmarks the best because I love Brian Blade, but each group you played and made me think, “wait, maybe this is a symbol I need….” I’ll be getting one for sure, but probably not for a little while. Won’t be cheap to get one of these up to Canada with our little CAD dollars;)

what was the size and weight of the lowest in pitch cymbal on YOUR far right from the demo of the landmark line please?
