Jazz drummers have been playing small kick drums since the 1940's bebop era. They generally sound better with smaller jazz ensembles where upright bass holds the quarter notes down and the kick is used for accents and comping. Big band drummers generally feathered quarter notes on large kick drums to reinforce the quarter note pulse.
Although yes the ride does have a very jazzy warm sound to it and would kick ass in a lot of situations finding that ideal jazz ride sound may come with perhaps a different ride for others. For me, ideally Meinl Sand ride is a good one, but then again so are the Paiste Dark Twenty series.
Current Banter might be by now. I paid well over $700 3 years ago for mine. Now you’ve got me headed upstairs to the drum room to play mine. 15” hats, 20, 22,24, and 26” 30ths
I never really care about what it is you’re demoing. Truly tasteful drumming. So much rhythmic diversity. Your right hand seems to have a mind of its own with those ride patterns man. I learn a new one with each video
Oh my god, it sounds so much nicer than expected. I was expecting so many over bearing overtones but it actually has a really beautiful balance and crashes perfectly! Would love to play this cymbal one day
That's a great cymbal, some great drum sounds and some great playing, Sir. That is one class act! I've got a 26" Agop signature and I just love it to bits.
My God, what you can do with almost nothing! I’ve been playing for 45 yrs.-I wish I could play like you. The smooth feel and touch is unreal! BTW, the cymbals are beautiful.
Full honesty, i think I've watched this video more than any other on RUclips. I watch all your videos but this one i come back to over and over. That ride is so tasty and the playing is fantastic. Id love to see you play this cymbal more in your newer content
That’s it I want a 30” ride. You know what?! Give me a gong and drill a hole in the center. Any old gong will do. Hahaha Jokes aside I love your playing sir. You’re an inspiration for me. Keep kicking ass. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻
The first time I heard you (Carter) play was back with that large metal bell in a short demo.. I immediately did not want to like what I was hearing even though it was too late.. it stuck.. In this style of drumming what this video reveals is brilliance and mastery at it's best.. Those who know of what I speak simply know.. Oh and as a result of that older video I too have a set of Gon-Bot bells with a single spring between them.. very cool.. Thank you for the inspiration :)
I’ve got a Meinl 26 that I really enjoy playing because it’s a great ride and crash, and I love the wobble of this large cymbal. It’s the only Meinl I have among mostly Agop’s. I really like the 26” that you’re playing! Thanks for another great video Carter!
Great playing, feel, and tuning, as always. But the things that just gets me is how well you mic and mix your set. It makes me doubly angry whenever you make a video; because I know I have to watch from beginning to end and that hardly anyone records drums as fantastic as you.
His playing is what makes the recording sound good. Every hit is hit with the optimal angle and velocity and to the optimal spot. And his playing is interesting, that also makes you feel the recording is good. Of course the earthworks mics are really good, but it's just a small piece of the puzzle.
Have to add a second quick note. Many Commenters have rightfully said how good Carter is. I agree. I get the vibe of Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix. So fluid and smooth.
Ride it , crash it, bell sounds divine and it has great balanced volume and sustain, but never too much. Drool worthy cycbal, but then again Carter could make pie plates sound fabulous.
Brilliant playing as always and top notch sound. I love the main sound of that ride. It doesn’t sound too big as we might expect. The bell is a bit of a disappointment. With a cymbal so big it seems like it should ping more. Please keep just sound demoing all the stuff you own, it’s so fun to watch.
Drummers from the big band era played 26" bass drums and 17" cymbals. Now we're playing 26" cymbals and 17" bass drums.
Just the evolution of music. Most people don't want a kick drum that sounds like a concert bass drum.
im down to play 26 on both

Current Banter yessir!
Bigger better 🤣👍🏾 the problem is traveling... i am still happy with my 32” sabian ride 😁
This is the ideal jazz ride sound. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance sounds like.
@MrMyopinionsmatter it's a meme, you dip
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@whs1pmjazz a lot of the musicians on youtube are boomers so they dont know meme culture

Came for the 26” ride stayed for the drumming
Yessss
Me 3.
Seriously, this dudes on fire.
Absolutely correct.
I think Carter could play a cheap amazon-bought kit and it would sound like a million bucks.
When the cymbal went *BwOOOooooosh* I felt that.
and here i am using a piece of paper to make my snare sound like a snare
Update 08.1.2021: Getting a new snare soon :D
Nothing wrong with that!!
Me too, it works really well
I just taped an eraser to my snare head
Hey, as long as it works
An idea isn't stupid if it works
This man's playing is so full and effective, you almost forget there's no band.
this whole drumset sounds so damn fire.
The way you look at the camera at 2:34 like "yeah that's right." when starting that groove was pure gold xD
it sounds so warm and good without being too bright
That cymbal is probably worth more than my car LOL
Yeah I got one 2-3 years ago. Paid over $700 for it then....
But it’s a beast. I pull it out just to aggravate the band..
But I really do like it
@@elithepitbulldog2209 so his car worth less than $700
Ibreak Promo but I bet he would like the cymbal a lot more. Yeah I pull mine out every now and then and explore it, it’s that big
i think it's around $880
Current Banter might be by now. I paid well over $700 3 years ago for mine.
Now you’ve got me headed upstairs to the drum room to play mine. 15” hats, 20, 22,24, and 26” 30ths
I've been a Zildjian man for 17 years, but this is THE finest cymbal I've EVER heard. Ever.
That's probably one of the most gorgeous cymbals ever made. Wow.
4:30 that control and consistency between the singles and diddles...
Great observation.
It sounds exactly the same, even though he’s switching between the two. It’s remarkable.
You know, I'm no professional here, but the whole damn thing sounds good.
I don't even play drums, yet I'm totally mesmerized here. I'm a Rock guitar player, drooling over this guy's silky smooth playing. Holy crap, man.
Holy mother of god that was some smoooooooth playin
Whenever I want to be reminded of what the ideal ride sound is, I come back to this video.
I never really care about what it is you’re demoing. Truly tasteful drumming. So much rhythmic diversity. Your right hand seems to have a mind of its own with those ride patterns man. I learn a new one with each video
You know those weird videos of people eating oversized seafood? This is the drums version of that
This is fine dining
Beautiful!!! Puts me to sleep... but in a good motherly nurturing way. Like I know everything’s going to be alright worry free mind at ease.
This was like going to a Mexican restaurant for my ears.
Oh my god, it sounds so much nicer than expected.
I was expecting so many over bearing overtones but it actually has a really beautiful balance and crashes perfectly!
Would love to play this cymbal one day
Damn, is this the best cymbal demo I've ever seen? Subbed.
Lovely playing. And that cymbal is a thing of beauty.
I own the Istanbul Agop 24” Joey Waronker ride and I love this 26” Agop just as much. It’s beautiful.
Holy shit, that is the best sounding ride cymbal I've ever heard.
Fantastic feeling, love the Jazz grooves!
Damn bro! Those jazz and funk beats are so smooth they cured my hangover headache. Love the sound of the kick.
That's a great cymbal, some great drum sounds and some great playing, Sir. That is one class act!
I've got a 26" Agop signature and I just love it to bits.
Carter has the best demos out of anybody on this website, period.
My God, what you can do with almost nothing! I’ve been playing for 45 yrs.-I wish I could play like you. The smooth feel and touch is unreal! BTW, the cymbals are beautiful.
I could listen to this dude play all fucking day.
Nice snar
Nice spelling
Full honesty, i think I've watched this video more than any other on RUclips. I watch all your videos but this one i come back to over and over. That ride is so tasty and the playing is fantastic. Id love to see you play this cymbal more in your newer content
This guy and Steve Lyman......amazing. Both "Istanbul" artists. Bravo "Istanbul"!
That’s it I want a 30” ride. You know what?! Give me a gong and drill a hole in the center. Any old gong will do. Hahaha
Jokes aside I love your playing sir. You’re an inspiration for me.
Keep kicking ass.
✌🏻❤️💪🏻
Straight flexing.
this is one of the most versatile rides I've ever seen oh my god
That’s one hell of a ride cymbal... Amazing playing like always! 🙏🥃

Wow man. Probably the most beautiful cymbal i’ve ever heard. Fantastic playing too of course.
My ears are in heaven: these ride, hi hats, snare, floor tom are amazing, kudos for drummer too.
I think i found a new lefthandmaster !! This is absolutly high level playing!! And that sound...... !!!!
Those snare rolls are so clean
Absolutely killing it!! That bell and wash is stunning
I could watch you play all day man. You have such a clean, distinct style and your single stroke rolls are insane
just pure drumming. no bs. nothing but drums. i couldn't be happier.
thanks dude!
I looooove that crash sound. What a sick ride.
Loved the Cymbal!!! Loved the playing! Thanks for both!
It's a great sounding cymbal
I’ve got a Meinl 26 that I really enjoy playing because it’s a great ride and crash, and I love the wobble of this large cymbal. It’s the only Meinl I have among mostly Agop’s. I really like the 26” that you’re playing! Thanks for another great video Carter!
Amazing cymbal, amazing drummer. Just wow.
Wonderful playing, great feel and dynamics. Great cymbal to accompany the playing style
Beautiful Ride for such a large size!!! Love the definition & spread!! Very inspiring sound that makes you play a certain way!!!
Every time I watch your video I have to run up to the drum room and play
I own 30th annys myself
15 hats 19,20,22,24,and 26
I love em...
That is a beauty ♥️Thank you for solo concert
The most beautiful cymbal i've ever seen
Beautiful sounding playing and drumset! Really peaceful to listen to
That thing is CRAZY

Bravo. Carter you are an inspiration.
This is beautiful, both the cymbal and the playing. It was a joy to listen to. :)
Awesome playing! Wonderful cymbals!
Everything about this sounds fantastic.
Beautiful, as usual Maestro
sounds incredible
Great playing, feel, and tuning, as always. But the things that just gets me is how well you mic and mix your set. It makes me doubly angry whenever you make a video; because I know I have to watch from beginning to end and that hardly anyone records drums as fantastic as you.
true words.
outstanding
I run to my practice kit after ever video
His playing is what makes the recording sound good. Every hit is hit with the optimal angle and velocity and to the optimal spot. And his playing is interesting, that also makes you feel the recording is good. Of course the earthworks mics are really good, but it's just a small piece of the puzzle.
his kick drum has a lot of sustain and it kind of fills the roll of a bass it's really cool
PERFECT DRUMMER.
Amazing cymbal thanks
wow...what a crispy sounding ride, really nice
That thing sounds amazing!
Have to add a second quick note. Many Commenters have rightfully said how good Carter is. I agree. I get the vibe of Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix. So fluid and smooth.
It's a joy to hear you play
So beautiful sounding musical instrument (especially "ride cymbal" is so killin') and very nice playing (great ideas and grooves)👍🙏
Amazing playing
Phenomenal playing
Beautiful cymbal! 👌
This sounds so good!
terrific drumming, perfect ride
Ride it , crash it, bell sounds divine and it has great balanced volume and sustain, but never too much. Drool worthy cycbal, but then again Carter could make pie plates sound fabulous.
Love your sound, man. Far out!
amazing drummer
Just a beast yet very musical ride!
Mate I love your channel! You sound great
Great cymbal, great drumming as always.
Excellent drumming...quite enjoyable.
Damn! that sounds fantastic
What a beautifull piece of bronce
This is one of those cymbals that makes you a better drummer. Its like you dont want to disappoint the cymbal.
That sure warmed up that cold day in February 2020......... So good that I'm a repeat here!
Holy schmow! The way it moves is crasy. Like it!
I’m so hyped for this video
Beautiful
Goosebumps on that sound man

Well done! Impressive - great sound.
