Compairing 5 sets of Jazz cymbals
Музыка
Here you can see and hear me plaing 5 different sets of Jazz cymbals.
Each one consists of 2 Ride cymbals and a pair of hihats and has been put together with a certain "theme" in mind.
First therealways is a recording of the cymbals seperately, and then I´m playing them along to a part of the song "The Al Trane", written by John Riley and taken from his book "the art of Bop drumming".
The recording has been done with two overheads and one bassdrum microphone and I´ve not used any effects or other sound treatement to capture the sounds of the cymbals as naturally as possible. Also all the levels (including the play alongs´) are exaxtly the same for each set of cymbals. Therefore you can not only compair their sounds, but also their volume. I´ve used the same sticks all the time and tried to play with the same intensity.
Hope you like it...

Finally someone who can play cymbals demoing cymbals. You'd think it would be more common but apparently not. You made all of those cymbals sound good. Each one. That sound lab prototype was beautiful. Thanks for this.

The modern Ks were my personal favorite, I really dig the renaissance 22 ride, and that prototype has a great sort of trashy vibe - not to mention that I am a fan of dry dirty hats. The Hollow Block Stamp 20 ride on the Motian set was really nice as well. Great playing and feel as well.

@@nram3930 That prototype actually sounds a lot like Bill Stewart's dry complex rides, love it
Great video, lovely playing too, thanks for that
this is insanely good ....the concept, your playing. thank you mate👍
Really helpful comparison, and nice drumming! 🥁 Hard to pick my favorite, but I think the Quiet Set paired together really well.
Really nice demo. Loves the pairing you’ve done. Great work. Thanks !
thank you, one of the best video I have seen on cymbals... very Nice research …the sound of the K ns is magnificent !
Dude awesome playing!!!
The 18" old Stamp sounds AMAZING!
great playing!
Wonderful...thanks!
Beautiful playing 😊. I have the 20” left side ride such a great cymbal and compliments the other. Just about to take delivery of a 22” K Constantinople Renaissance
Quiet set sounds great. Hard to find those hats though. I have the 22” K Con REN on the right. A 20” K Con medium thin low on the left. And 14” A Avedis hi hats. I love it. I sometimes use a 20” light flat ride on the left.
Dude you have a great ride feel.
beautiful
Just perfect 👏 Thanks for this. ;)
Enjoyed the playing and the presentation. Great drummer w/ great time and chops. And these cymbal sets all sound good and provide a tonal palette from wet to dry. What everyone tunes in for is the vintage, unobtanium stuff. The third set - old k's with johan hats. Most of the rest of the stuff is in a store somewhere. But everybody's chasing THAT tone. You have two KILLER vintage cymbals but they are totally different. The 18 OS is darkly bright and crisp without a lot of wash, and the 22 NS with the rivets is holy grail jazz ride sound with good medium bright attack and just a hint of trash followed by the rivet wash reverb. They are both amazing, but I'm not sure the 18 complements the 22 like it would some other rides in your collection. Don't get me wrong, the 18 might be the best, most valuable cymbal in your collection. It probably is. Your Zildjian 20 hollow block stamp from set 4 and your 18 OS from set 3 would be interesting to swap between sets and compare. Some amazing cymbals throughout. Congrats mate
Nice touch!
Thx for expressing 'articulation'. Don.t ever given up you.re great as a univdrummer
Just received a K Ride.. and a K Custom Left Side Ride. Both sound great.
That 22’ K Con Renaissance is it. ❤️
I have a 20" light cons, love the buttery sound. I have also a 19" sabian hh crash that have a similar but clearer tone compare to the cons.
waiting for your upload!!
The 1° end 4° sets... ... wonderfol ...
Great 👌 thank youuu
The first group sounded the best, at least for those songs.
I sold my 22" Sound Creation Dark Ride in the early 90s. What an idiot
Quiet set
I love that K con 22" Renny ride. just add some 14" new beat hi hat
I'm not usually a fan of A's, but that hollow block is sweet.
Oh, that old 22" K!
I like the Modern Ks the best.
Uhh I,ve always preferred A,s for even Jazz. The K types are very washy but A,s are shimmer.
what type of drum set is that? love the setup
god damn k con light is so buttery i will nibble my fingers off
did you know there is no cymbal emoji available, while there IS a trumpet emoji 🎺

The 22" K Ns is just perfect. How heavy is it? Do you want to sell it?
That was awesome! May I ask what what is the snare here?

The volume of the music overpowered the sound of the cymbals. It was hard for me to compare them.
Motian, like in Paul Motian?
