Fun fact: Neil Peart used the same 22” Zilco ride cymbal for every Rush album and tour from when he joined to when he switched to Sabian. That’s 30 years of Rush’s busy mileage on one ride cymbal.

Italian avant garde jazz drummer Marcello Magliocchi had a 48" cymbal made by the company UFIP with four bell-like protrusions in the four areas of the cymbal.

I would LOVE to learn how to recognise the different sounds of drums and cymbals in songs. For so long I've been "drum blind". All the crashes and bonks and boofs sounded the same. It wasn't until I watched your drum streams and videos that I discovered how much drums actually make the songs! It's given me a new appreciation for music. And jazz! Is amazing! More vids on anything jazz, please!

I love that you actually play the handmade artisanal instruments you have and they’re not gathering dust somewhere. If I was someone who made instruments, the fact that it was getting played and loved would matter to me more than any collectibility.

I recorded a 30" Zildjian ride about 20 years ago. Guy who owned it is a bit of a collector.....has lots of old stuff. Anyway, the details are a bit shady at this point, but he was under the impression that the ride he had was the heaviest ride cymbal Zildjian had ever made. And boy was it heavy. If memory serves, it was more or less a "medium A" in style, and you know, it sounded pretty darned good. I recall it recording fairly well, and I did noodle around on it a bit during soundcheck and recall it feeling pretty decent. It was, of course, ridiculous.

Something that amazes me is that I watch this man's content no matter what the hell he's talking about. I've never played drums in my life. But he manages to me make things I have ZERO interest in fun.

Get yourself a cymbal so big, it start supplying its own reverb lol. You can hear it around the 26-28 range

"Really tiny bell, like for any ride" That's what she said, hahaha

Sir, I recently found your video by suggestion ... I really like your enthusiasm. I'm 60 years old but I am a beginner. Been at it for 5 years now but you don't learn stuff as fast when you're older ... cymbals are (or were) sort of an afterthought for me (mine are all Zildjian beginner models - all of them sound flat and kinda soul-less to me) but hey .... I'm lucky I can move across the kit on 8th notes! I have a lot to learn, but now I'm cymbal shopping. Stuff sure costs more nowadays! :) I do love the "crisp" sort of dry sound .... except when the ride is hit on the last not of a song .... then I love the ring that lasts as long as the guitar chord. :) Thanks again, sir!!!

is there a 35" boi

I hope one day you get that 30" cymbal, I must hear what it sounds like :V

I find myself rewatching these videos a lot

That bell on the bosphorus is a classic trope of them. They had a sound characterized by the small bell that they had normalized on their rides.

that bosphorous sounds like any drummer is gonna have fun playing around with it for hours, unintentionally.

"They don't make them like this anymore"... Well...Heartbeat cymbals actually make a 26" that plays and sounds pretty similar. Actually they have at least 2 different ones (and perhaps more now). I have the 26" Epic Ride, which is pretty sweet.

My grandpa has the 24" version of that 2002 ride, with nylon tip sticks that thing sounds insanely good. Never heard a cymbal cut through the mix like it.

Love that black pearl, what a sound

Just watching those bigger rides vibrate is hypnotic.

One of my favorite rides is John Dolmayan's 24" Paiste RUDE Mega Power Ride "Eclipse" It has a brilliant stick sound, it washes like a madman, and the bell is ENORMOUS, making it significantly lower than pretty much every other ride bell, while still cutting through everything in just the right way. highly recommend you pick up one of those

That Bosporus was absolutely gorgeous! Love it’s sound as well

When iwas living in the USA in Los Angeles, I was in a reallg nice drum store, Pro Drum on Vine St in Hollywood, saw a vintage Avedis Zilldjian 30-inch, really gong like. My largest is something i found in an Armenian-run pawnshop, a Paiste 2002 Concert 24-inch, a really smooth wide range of frequencies. I got it for 60 bucks, a really nice bargain. Nicest deep dark sound i heard is a Dream Dark Matter Ride, which comes in 20" and 22". I got a great price on a 20" from the main dealer, a warranty return on a 20" for just £30 with a half inch edge crack-- which i fixed with a small scallop repair-- quite thin, a very flat profile with little bow curvature and small bell, unlathed and left in dark patina. These cymbals are designed by a Canadian company and made in China. Interesting smooth deep sound-- and the 22" is even better (but I couldn't afford it!) Definitely a special-effects sound for occasional use. I like the Bosphorus 28" best out of that selection.

A surprisingly bright bell on that super dark 26", I feel like that's the size range where real precision and control become essential, as a wrong strike can send out a noticeably different tone.

That 28" was just hilarious, but god damn the craftsmanship and sound was beautiful

Now, to get 2 of those massive lads and make a truly absurd high hat

I never in my life would have cared to learn about Cymbals until these videos...

I'm only a hobbiest musician who loves music, first and for most I'm an artist/illustrator. The way you talk about drums, in such technical detail, while still being philosophical and passionate about it! It's the exact energy I have about my art! I've never had a lot of interest in drums, but the passion in these videos, and the sheer obession and dedication to your craft is what brings me in. I NEVER expected a random musician who happened to review bad cheap tech landfill would have so much in common with me artistically, but I'm here for it! I can tell you're so happy making these videos and love talking about drums! It's nice to see I'm not the only person who is simultaneously a super nerd about my artistic passion while also living an almost spiritual artistic existence doing what they love.

Loved the sounds of the prototype and the 28" best

That bosphorus sounded amazing! I wish I was a jazz drummer just for that!

Amazing video as always! I love how you snuck some Scott Joplin in as the background Music! Absolutely amazing :)

@@ehsbe1056 It was actually a very stingy Catholic school. The majority of the equipment came from our band teacher's personal collection.

I love those paiste big boi rides. I have a 24” 2002 ride and it’s just soooooo nice and I love it’s wash on the crash.

Welcome to the birth of a new era

I really like big cymbals. Also, I love the red drum heads!

Now if only someone like Tama or Pearl or DW made a DankPods signature kit… That’d be awesome!

I know nothing about music, but even I had to smile when I heard the Dark Ride. "Buttery" is a great adjective, it certainly makes a pleasant sound. Would you mind maybe doing a video that goes more in-depth about what drum setups are best for certain genres of music?

I have an old 26” Zildjian ride too (found it at a music store in Jacksonville Florida for $93) but I’d love to find one of those old 30” rides that Zildjian produced. I saw one once at the Ayotte Drum Only drum shop/factory in Vancouver Canada in 1993. It wasn’t for sale but I’m kicking myself for not asking to play it.

No matter what channel dank pods makes I'm gonna sub to it. There's just some charisma that this drummy car nugget snake boy has that makes me enjoy every vid

That 26" Zildjian gave me actual shivers. It's maybe the first time i've turned on 4k mode for a youtube video. I officially have a new dream ride cymbal.

The bosphorus sounds like thunder and it is glorious

I agree on the 22... K dark for me. I really like that 26 overall tho... I think the subdued (but awesome) crash on that size would be from much of the energy flying around in a low frequency domain... So big tho it is flexible enough to let brightness still shine thru. Edit: gives it that "gushy" I like Very nice indeed man. Keep em coming.

That thing sounds great. Sounds like a bigger sweet ride. The 26.

23" is the perfect size imo :D rocking that hardcase 23" cymbal case

I would love to see an episode about budget instruments and quality of sound

That 24" Zilco sounds amazing.

i used the 24 inch A medium ride by zildjian and 15 inch mastersound hats, i loved them for literally any style of music

That 28 sounds beautiful!

Those really big boys sound like they'd be fantastic to hear in a performance of some halo songs.

The 26" sounded super good IMO. That would be a top tier pick for a kit

I remember the ride at my high school was an old zildjian 24" ride. That thing sounded soo nice, I reckon it's probably still kicking around or at least I hope so

I love the contrast between that little bell and that absolute UNIT of a 28 incher, holy crap.

I have my trusty 22inch zildjian deep ride. Have had it for over 35 years. Still a great cymbal

The big boys remind of the background musics from Home Alone 1 and 2. Perfect chaos

18" or 20" has been my go to. Playing metal with a weird setup, every inch counts.

i'm a recovering musician but in the past i was primarily a brass player. i wasn't sure if i could have any context for this video- but then i heard the 26" and 28" cymbals. bruh. that low, ominous hum you talk about for the 26" is what dreams are made of.

I have a Paiste 2002 heavy ride that sounds JUST like that prototype ride. Maybe a bit brighter. It’s an 80s red label and def a bit brighter but has that kind of Stewart Copeland/John Bonham sound.

That Bosphorus sounds like a storm in the distance

You really need the gong hats from rdavidr they sounded amazing
