ARTIST TESTIMONIALS

Steve Smith

I like the quality of the samples They sound realistic. They really do sound like real ZILDJIAN cymbals.

Ash Soan

I can’t think of anything out there that offers the same realistic playing feel.

Roni Kaspi

The feel is very natural. I love the bounce that you get from the cymbals.

Dexter Hercules

The ALCHEM-E playing feel is as close as possible to a real drum kit.

The response of the triggers and the tactile playing feel of the cymbals makes you feel like you are playing real drums.
