Great video, but no, not Connecticut. Precision Drum Co is and always was in NY!

Sou brasileiro,mas você está abrindo minha mente com relação a som de caixa de bateria,assisti apenas 2 videos, esse video,e o video da diferença da quantidade de fios da esteira,aqui no Brasil nunca encontrei um video assim,que não fica recomendando marcas, e faz o comparativo,quando falam de esteiras, só falam de puresound,quando é pele de bateria só falam de evans,aquarian e remo na maioria das vezes,e pele de resposta nunca vi comparativo também,muito obrigado,Deus te abençoe grandemente, e todos os familiares

Would you be willing to sell her 😮

A problem I run into is that when I tune my drums, they sound nice, full, and powerful when I’m sitting behind them. But from a distance or when I record them, there is way too much sustain, and they sound too soft. What’s a good solution for this?

There is a cool video on youtube of John Bonham's drum tech talking about his green sparkle kit. JB actually cranked his reso heads super tight like snare drums compared to the batter head. Really cool video.

All logical content. Thanks

Love the Cymbal Series! I also love watching that cymbal of yours wiggle and wobble when you really whack it--or even when you're just riding on it. Sweet sounding sucker, though! I use soft double felts on my vintage 1973 22" Avedis Zildjian crash-ride, but I make sure it has plenty of room to move, even though I use it almost exclusively as a ride, because when you crash it, it has *a little bit* of sustain. (Part of my end-of-practice ritual is to give it a few good crashes. I would practice before going to work, and I liked to think that it was still vibrating all through my work day.) As always, thanks for all the great stuff you do!

evetts brady some of the best sounding

I low-key feel like you've been flexing the chops just a tiny bit harder each episode you guys put out and I'm loving it 😂 you're a good drummer Cody

I have been using ‘No Nuts’ with a felt underneath for for all my cymbals. They are great.

Are a pingy bell and a drier, smoother crash incompatible in a ride? For instance, I love the bell on A/K Sweet Rides, but wish their crash was a little more dry and white-noisey, more like what you'd find in Byzance crash rides. But have never been able to find a ride that sits in a happy medium between the two. The closest I found was the 22 HHX Legacy but still wish the crash on it was a little drier.

Hey brother, Thank you for this, sounds great! I just inherited a kit (just getting back into playing after 20 years) but the reso side of the bass drum doesn't have a hoop, or even claws. So I got a new batter head, took the old one and just slipped it onto the bearing edge for a reso, and held it in place with a throw pillow - just so I could start playing without dumping more cash into it right away. Of course, I'll end up with a new hoop and hardware, and I think I'll cut into this old Weatherking as you demonstrated - even tho this MacGyver thing sounds surprisingly decent - just isn't appealing to look at, and probably not great for the drum not to have a hoop.

I like ride cymbal tighter like jazz guys..I always use ride where most use hi hats.... And do not tighten crashes at all

I'm wondering if it's worth having more than one air vent in my bass drum shell, given I don't have a hole in my reso head.

So when Ludwig send you a bunch of wood snares, then the specific type of wood makes an important difference, but here suddenly wood and metal snares sound the same? Make up your mind! Very disappointing.

No Nuts cymbal sleeves with Cymrings on them under the cymbal, except for my China, which has normal felts and a quick release nut. They let the cymbals breathe and move, and they make setup and tear down quick and easy. I swear by them!

0:10 I'm definitely naming my next band Beef Projection now

Definitely a topic overlooked but I do feel as though I just adapt to whatever comes with the stands I buy. Yamaha felts are a bit thick, so I keep it pretty loose. Always hated the jam nights where they had the kit, the hardware but no felts (sometimes no clutch) 🙃 As always, great video!

wouldn't it bend or distort the bearing edge or the rim?

For a heavy hitting rim shot snare player, The Ambassador x or G14 is a must. It fattens up any snare without choking it!!

isnt this bad for the bearing edge?

Good video, as ever. Avoid overtightening cymbals, especially if, for example, riding a crash. What about No Nuts Percussion as an alternative that you seem to have overlooked entirely as another option?

I use ‘No Nuts’ with a felt underneath for rides and crashes, swapping cymbals is a breeze, and because of the longer ‘tube’ I haven’t had any fly off. Thanks, guys.

I have a 14” kick because I wanted to get a kit that was easy to store and easy to transport. I recently had another drummer play my kit and I heard my kick from a distance for the first time and I thought it sounded terrible. later that day I had a little jazz jam and tuned my drums up a bit for it. A few days later I jammed with some other people, and found that it worked great for rock. I think I’m going to keep it this way from now on.

Backlining a kit with no sleeves is the most annoying and triggering thing. Like why are you not aware it's bad to share that

Yes they do….and decay time also

To add to my many comments about working in an industrial setting... 10mm or 3/8" pneumatic hose makes a fantastic material for cymbal stand sleeves. It's very tough and slippery polyurethane material that wears forever! Most of my replacement cases have been because they got lost... So what! the price per foot makes it totally acceptable! If you can find a shop that does automation with pneumatics, an air compressor dealership or a place along those lines, you can probably score a few feet for a couple of bucks or some random bits of free offcuts if you really score big! You should always have a pocket knife or a multi-tool in your kit anyways... So a lost sleeve is never too far away from a quick chop off your huge stash of spares!!

I play several hammered steel drums because of their amazing versatility. Trio jazz to seven piece band. I find them easier to tune

I use felts for certain cymbals and cympads for others and combinations of each on the top and bottom depending on the sound I’m after. I use Pearl clutches with rounded rubber instead of felt or cympads and it all makes a difference….thanks again for your time and energy-great stuff ☮️❤️🥁👏🏽

Great video! Personally, I like playing with no felt or wingnut on top of my ride and crash cymbals for the longer sustain and the more open sound it gives. So far, I haven't ran into the issue of the cymbal coming off of my stands , likely because I tend to use bigger size cymbals with a bit more weight to them since I use bigger sized drums. I can hit them hard and I like to play off of the sway that having no top felt creates - although when I record, I do use felts lightly for more stick definition on specific cymbals.

FWI, this stainer was NOT drop in replacement for my early 70's Acrolite as the bolts provided are too large for the original mounting holes of my Ludwig. I was really disapointed as my drum is one of the most common snare drums in existence and I'm sure this INDe strainer is a good replacement mechanism. I ended up having to use the existing bolts from my Acrolite instead of the provided bolts that were designed to work with the new strainer. I don't see on the website where INDe offers different sized bolts with this mechanism. Bummed.

Great examples Cody! I did not know that some cymbal cracking is caused by the tightness of the felts. On a side note, your weight loss is working well for you...... I'm working on mine too, and not only does it make me feel better, I also look better, at least that's what I've been told by my very biased wife of 52 years.... Thanks and Blessings Cody and crew.

"Context decides and taste decides" is a perfect way to describe this experimentation. Eye and ear opening revelations! Thanks and Blessings Cody and crew!

This only proves that most of the drummers are deaf. These sounds totally different. Metal is way more pingy, ringy, more sustain, sharper etc. Also it is easyer to pick up the differencies with eyes closed because you don't waste your brain capacity for the eyes.

Strangely, I have noticed that different stands can affect the cymbal sound. I've had some cheap stands that sucked the life out, whereas my better, heavier stands provided a better sound. Same felts, same wing nuts. Wouldn't have believed it until I upgraded my stands.

I think I heard briefly in this one about stacking cymbals? Is that like on the same stand? Asking because I've seen that. Like maybe a 18" crash with maybe a 14 or 16" china on top of that? I say maybe because I haven't tried but I want to. I was pretty sure it's not just metal to metal on the cymbals together. But some cushion between (felt). Want to set it up right. Thanks so much for what you bring to us!

The felted pressure depends on the recording I am playing on to make the song sound its best. To play out I would have a standard setup every time.

I always look for the next one. Please keep them coming. Learn something every time. Thank you.

For 25 years on my Paiste 2002 I've used rubber washers on bottoms, nothing on top (with nylon tip sticks) . Maximum resonance and sustain. Occasionally I use felts for taming a harsh cymbal on top and bottom with a loosely tighten Sonor plastic quick release wingnut.

I've felt this one..

I generally prefer no felt on top. I’ve tried a whole bunch of combinations: hard, soft felts, rubber felts, metal base, plastic base etc etc - since it’s cheap to try and does affect the experience. I would say that in particular, either a rubber felt, or a metal base/plastic sleeve/thin felt both gave me a lot more stick definition vs wash on an Istanbul Agop ride and a Dream ride. I would love to see more on this topic from this channel. I would also love a topic about clutches and how they affect mostly chick operation.

In some of your older videos I saw you using a weird angular rubber felt on the bottom hi hat. How foes that affect the tone? I’ve been wondering for a while, but haven’t felt (no pun intended) like buying one.

This is great!!

Wow! Congrats with 100 hundred subscribers🎉 🎂✌️👍😁

Before even watching I had to answer the title... 'they do if you hear them!'. One of the most important lessons Hal Blaine taught Jim Gordon is no rattles!!

I too always keep extra felts, washers, wing nuts, and cymbal sleaves in my stick bag.

No sleeve is a definite No No. Got some old cymbals to prove that. So I do appreciate the idea to keep some tubing and felt in your stick bag.

Thanks for this. As i have yet to invest in any new cymbals yet. I have been working with my hand-me-down kit. I have been experimenting a bit. However when i purchase some new ones soon i now have a better understanding of the differences and pros and cons. Time to go shopping 😊

Such a good episode! I think about these things all the time...thanks for taking the time to test them out! Do you have a preference for a style of felt depending on the cymbal size as well? Example, I have a bigger thinner ride that I really like to tighten up because it gets super wobbly after a few strikes. Thanks again!

not enough of a difference to risk my cymbals coming off their stands
