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 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!
Yeah, before watching Wade's vids on drums, pretty much all the drum sounds in songs sounded mostly like bonks and noise. Only now I can actually focus on the cymbals or something and enjoy it's sound.
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.
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!!!
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.
"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.
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
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.
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.
I had a 30"Stagg ride cymbal but had to let her go reason because she was heavy to mount on just any cymbals stand,,,she would break it in half!!! I hated that and really didn't want to let her go but I couldn't keep buying cymbal stands every other week.However she had an amazing sound to her! Great stick definition especially when I play main stream fast be-bop or recorded in the studio with her.Great cymbal!! Just too heavy!! 😔😔😎.
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
@@ehsbe1056 It was actually a very stingy Catholic school. The majority of the equipment came from our band teacher's personal collection. He wouldn't let the set leave the band room so whenever we played performances off campus I volunteered the starter cymbals from my Export kit. That is until they got stolen at the school fair... and that's how I got my first set of legit cymbals. 🙂
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.
Zildilan was based in Constantinople but it is an Armenian who made the company (and who it's named after). It's still a family owned business to this day after being around for 400 years 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
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.
5:26 Okay, it was cool when you showed it at first, but after that history lesson you had on Zildjian, I literally pogged when I watched through this again.
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.
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.
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'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 play a Zildjian A Custom 21-inch Projection Ride, and it's almost perfect. It nearly weighs 7 pounds! Great bell and stick definition, but I do wish it was a touch washier towards the edge
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.
I like 20 and 22 inch cymbals, if I'm not mistaken my school had one, a 22 I think though it could've been a 24. It sounded really nice. However, I've seen and heard 18 inch rides used before, they're nice when you get a good one so size isn't everything.
Ok, I absolutely love that trans stamp Zildjian, except for the gong sound. That’s too much but the metallic twang of it is just… _chef’s kiss_ . It’s gorgeous
That 30” ride he hit at the store is still ringing to this day
Gotta admit tho they sound damn good up there
staggs are either bone dry, or the brightest things ever.

Anything that can be poked at with a stick (or foot) is valid, assuming it makes a sound 😉
I don't think it's ever hit home for me how much of a difference 2 inches can make when it comes to circles. Wild.

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.
Get yourself a cymbal so big, it start supplying its own reverb lol. You can hear it around the 26-28 range
that bosphorous sounds like any drummer is gonna have fun playing around with it for hours, unintentionally.
I hope one day you get that 30" cymbal, I must hear what it sounds like :V
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.
"Really tiny bell, like for any ride"

Love that black pearl, what a sound
