Here's a new video from Matt Halpern doing Zedd's "Straight Into the Fire." Matt's Meinl Cymbal set up from left to right, if sitting behind the kit, is as follows:
- 15" Byzance Traditional Hi-Hats
- 8" Byzance Splash
- 20" Byzance Extra Thin Hammered Crash
- 22" Byzance Symmetry Ride
- 18" Byzance Extra Thin Hammered Crash
- 18" Byzance Dark China w/ 17" Jazz Medium Thin Crash Stack
- 20" Byzance Extra Dry China
Here's what Matt says about the video -
"Hey everyone, Matt here!
I've been a fan of Zedd's work for a long time now. In fact, a few years ago, Zedd actually did a remix of my band Periphery's song "Icarus Lives," so I thought it was about time to make my own remix of one of his songs!
The song in this video, "Straight Into The Fire" is from Zedd's new album, "True Colors". The whole album is chock-full of great tracks, and this one immediately jumped out at me for a drum remix. I hope you like it!

Thank you to my friend and fellow Meinl Cymbals artist, Anup Sastry for allowing me to film in his home studio. We had a blast putting this together, and there are more video playthrough's to come!
