Ash Soan Zildjian Cymbal choice at Sarm Studios

[@jofujenkins]

I’m really getting into Ash Soan’s playing. His style, touch, and sound are exactly what I hear in my head when I imagine “my” sound to be.

In my opinion its really nice that you allow someone on the otherside of the world to use the bottom of your snaredrum as a coffeetable. Man that thing sounds deep!

"IV'E BEEN OVER-HAMMERED A TIME OR TWO"- ASH SOAN- WHAT A LEGEND

I've just bought a pair of 70's hollow logo hats. Lovely, light and responsive.

[@climbjay]

Lovely bloke. Draw a lot of inspiration from you Ash.

IMO--- Most ride cymbals make better crashes than, crash cymbals make rides. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. When I was in my first serious band, I was using a 20inch A Zildjian medium-ride as my crash and an old vintage 1940's or 50's 21inch A Zildjian Deep Ride... and they both worked great for crashes and rides. For the record---- 15inch A Zildjian New Beat hats. A rocking setup, indeed.

I played on the Adele track 'Set Fire To The Rain'.

Those hats have a great sound... bright, but not harsh. I keep mixing and matching hats in the hope that I'll get lucky.

Five minutes ago, I bought Robbie's "Reality killed the video star" and listened to "Morning sun". I thought it's your groove and so I had a look at your discography...just to find out, that I'm an expert:-) I love your groove.

[@FionnOCDrums]

Those hats are awesome!!!!!

[@ashsoan]

They are the only serious choice

[@johnbagnato5980]

I my opinion Zildjian cymbals are the best.

[@ashsoan]

Set fire to the rain

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Nice man! Never knew that.

[@jamy313]

hey ash just wondering, do you ever get asked for a brighter crash or ride sound, more in the range of an a or a custom?

[@Chunkaway]

Ash, do you ever have any issues with the bigger crash/rides hanging on too long in a track? I have been debating on whether or not to use a 20" K Constantinople Bounce ride as a crash, and I'm a little nervous about how long the cymbal takes to completely fade away.

[@maxmery_drums]

Yamaha represent!.

[@alastairerrett]

What sizes are the toms on this video Ash? 12" and 16"?

[@ashsoan]

Yeah and its only 5"s

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Which Adele track did you record on Ash?

[@MrNgakakguling2]

[@edithrivera9261]

What is the mic on the hats?

[@szczepek03]

Albert Rivera-Castillo Bayerdynamic M160 (ribbon mic)

[@DavidMcmenemy]

In my opinion they sound far too mass produced now. I prefer handmade cymbals. Istanbul and Meinl make some beautiful stuff.

[@climbjay]

Those cymbals don’t record very well sadly. Zildjians will always be the perfect choice for drummers using mics live or in the studio. They just ‘work’.

[@colmcb311]

There actually aren't any 15" K hats left, Adele ate them all! lol
