There is more to a special sound to hi hats than just the weight difference between the top and bottom. The width of lathing and the shape of the bell are also very important. Louis Bellson is the reason for the weight difference in matched pairs of hi hats. Many, many decades ago, Louis went to Avedis Zildjian and asked for a heavier bottom which caught on with other drummers very quickly and this was the beginning of the "New Beats". Fast forward and all cymbal makers . I have a pair of matched Zildjian Avedis (before they were called "A-Series") that I bought new in 1965. The top cymbal weighs more than the bottom and yet sounds much brighter than the bottom cymbal. The bottom one has wider lathing and a wider shallower bell which gives the darker sound. The bottom one can "spoon" inside the top one for storage, but the top one cannot spoon inside the bottom one, there is that much difference. These are wonderful for small venues at low volume, particularly with brushes. I've played them thousands of times over the years and they still look and sound like the day I bought them. They started out in rock & roll in a garage band and progressed to smooth jazz in small jazz bands in all size venues. They are keepers! Years later, I found the same model and style of hi hats (also pre-"A-Series") with with a slightly heavier top and much heavier bottom The bottom one sounds darker than the top one, which I prefer. I mix & match these with the lightweight, older pair according to the volume and darkness that I need for my style of jazz. I can always get the sound I want from them. The rest of my cymbals are darker "K-Series" in different models. In my opinion, the heavier bottom mostly changes only the total volume of the pair. More importantly, I go for the darker sounding bottom, regardless of the weight difference.

Both good, but paiste is always the way to go for me.

Theres no reason. They just prefer it

Thanks! That is what i was looking for.

Nice demo. It was hard to find someone playing clean tones with this head! Thank you 🙏🏻

Time...is never time at all...

Interesting, my A sounds like your K

Bigsby is great. But. It does change the tone. On P90 guitars I always find for the better. It removes some of the low mids and adds some upper range bite. On a good Les Paul .. hard no. On semis or hollow bodies? Hell yeah!

I mean I do have a Squier offset, but it's a Bass VI. But yeah I've been wanting a jazzmaster for a minute until I saw the Vela a few years ago. Have an updated 2024 on the way.

No one can do this song perfectly well precisely exactly but Cliff Noble, leave well enough alone and create your own, Cliff Noble did his own.

Why no more videos? Hope you are well

As far as crashes go I have three sets that are in my regular rotation. 16” and 18” A med thin, 16” and 18” K custom dark, and 18” k con and a 19” kerope

I own an unreasonable amount of cymbals. My two main sets of hats are both mismatched. Both are 14”. One is a heavy 70s A bottom with a thin 60s A top and the other set is a K custom special dry bottom with a kerope top. No wrong way to cymbal in my opinion.

sitting on a Tama drum throne

Absolutely! I regret selling mine to get a Yamaha LL16-12. Even though the Yamaha costs twice as much and is all solid woods, the Guild sounds better.

Ugly.

The black label 2002, which are darker, warmer, and a bit drier, are now the Big Beat Series and feature the Black Logo. The 2002 Series has the Red Logo and are brighter. I have a set of both and the Big Beats are a really great alternative, when you have a gig in a smaller room.

Finally someone got the kicks right. Excellent job!! [edit: sorry, i checked, you're missing double sixteenth note kicks on the final section. listen to the original again]

Sounds great

I love my Paiste cymbals, to me they have a clearer ringing sound than Zildjian cymbals that I also find to be a bit thicker in nature, what is good for one drummer isn't the best for another, it's just a matter of taste and what sounds good for the band their played in.

thanks for the info. very helpful. but please cut out that distracting horrible background music. cheers!

Very good tuning on the snare, blends perfectly with the music.

The one con is you can’t sit down with them lol i honestly recommend an explorer especially the korina epiphone explorer 1958 its lighter and you can do both and its more comfortable

Wn ansioso no muevas las manos es una canción de synth-pop no rock ni metal, y estas todo desincronizado👎🏻 dislike por Huevon!

Thanks for the Video I just added one to my collection

The V is the best guitar for me , I love the design and sitting down and playing it

Nice!!

Turn the treble down yo! Its like icepicks to the earholes

Jazzmaster pickups have a lot of power like a P90. But jazzmasters have one meg tone controls which make them a lot brighter. So it could be the case here that it needs a 1 meg tone control. Interestingly, the cheap Harley Benton JA also doesn't have the one Meg tone control and it's a little muddy on the neck pickup. But otherwise, it is an alnico bar magnet measuring over 8k. It's also nice to get a real bridge that you can have confidence in. I guess the only drawback is that today there's a lot of cheaper guitars out there and this guitar is risen in price to $429.

tube screamer into a fuzz face for the win.

My go to crash cymbal

Very VERY good. Where did you get the drum score from please? Trying to find it online and no luck so far....

This guitar is nice. However on a AB comparison the Guild D1212 is better.

got the combo recently. im obsessed with it. its so nice. theres a lot of purists online that say its not as good as a real handwired hiwatt, but it gets pretty close. i love it so much. it sounds great clean and the breakup is gorgeous

The price of a Bigsby B5 has gone up $100

Sounds great as a ride 🔥

Great video 🔥 you have a good voice as well, Phil Collins like

Nice tones thanks for sharing.

Black Labels are thinner than the red. In the 80s, cymbal companies beefed up the weights bigtime. So that is why Black Labels are warmer.

You forgot about Stambul 65s. Those were the first b8 cymbal Paiste made.

Waiting for the day I can find a great budget brand making these lol.

all that matters is how they sound ffs

I was looking for that high end chime from the pickups, and I was able to get it by dialing in the height. If you get that right, the neck pickup really comes into its own.

Enjoyed the video bro

Your snare drum sounds great! What is it?

Any thoughts on this compared to the epi ej200?

Hope u guys havent broken up, i am digging all your jams

Im a bassist finally picking up a guitar for myself and I have been wondering how my fender rumble would make my guitar sound, thanks for this video showing it.

This was a surprisingly cool video! I dig the drum sound you got coming off of that kit.
