Bonzoleum Studios Lair: Unboxing a Coveted Paiste 505 18" CRASH

[@philphilison1623]

🥳What a great buy! It's great to be able to pick something up when you see it; you really never know when you will see a discontinued product again.

[@terryklender4209]

That 18” 505 sounds awesome. I just bought a 20” 505 heavy ride and love it.

[@natevanslyke7274]

Terry in the world of the blind .the one eyed man is KING!!! ..BRAVO SIR BRAVO 👏 MISS YOU BUUUUUDDY

[@earldrum]

Great video Terry! I miss these cymbal videos … they all sound so close!

[@jametz66]

you need an 18 505 Earl!😎

[@earldrum]

@@jametz66 I’m working on it Jeff!

[@alanduncan1980]

Those are great! Paiste crashes really have that classic crash sound. I like how they decay and how they cut through, and also, just how musical they sound. The 1400 gram range seems to be the sweet spot for the 18s.

[@bonzoleum]

Yes, especially the larger cupped variety (Original GB, 2000, 505, RUDE, etc). I do think that for the 18" 2002 model, that actually there is a gong-y ness that becomes more present as you approach and move from the 1430g area. Below 1390g and above 1480g is where that tone isn't as present. If you go to the Paiste site and compare the 18" 2002 CRASH model to the 18" 2002 THIN CRASH (mid-upper 1300s) and a MEDIUM, you'll hear.

[@stevengood6434]

I got some of the pst7 cymbals. The 20 thin ride makes a nice crash. I have a 18 thin, 19 thin and a 19 medium. All sound really good

[@bonzoleum]

Yes- the PST 7 are nice and a great value. The 19” THIN CRASHis tip-top. At 5:20 my trusty PST 7 19” THIN CRASH is crashing. Its absolutely beautiful.

[@franklande6575]

Terry you are the PaiSTe B8 KING! ..as im watching this im putting a bid in on a 16in. 802 plus crash. Love you Brother!

[@sherman538]

You have helped me so much the path awaits thx I haven’t been nervous about performing in quite some time. A great teacher understand

[@bonzoleum]

Thank you. Remember to breathe!

[@jametz66]

Great video Terry! I love the details, history, and little idiosyncrasies of the cymbals... lathing, bell shape, etc, etc! Bonzoleum, Unboxing, 505, ... CLICK! MUST. WATCH. NOW!

[@mightyV444]

Yeah, I'd pronounced it like "paste" for quite a few years, thanks to a cousin who's 15 years older than me and who kinda had been my very first drum hero; And he should know, right? 😄 I guess if you wanted to be _completely_ correct, it'd be pronounced "pies-tuh", with an ending like in 'Porsche' ("por-shuh") 😊 It was actually on a pAisTe flexi disc from one of their mid-80's brochures when I finally heard it pronounced correctly: "Hello! I'm Bill Bruford, the young English drummer from King Crimson, and I'm going to play you some of my favourite 'pies-tee' sounds!" - which he then proceeded to do, too! 😄

[@shaunbryant947]

That 505 sounds really good! Sounds like the introduction crash to Immigration Song or crash in Stair Way to Heaven 🤘!

[@RosemaryKeating]

Not only a gifted musician but a darling, handsome lad 2:29

[@DrummerKeithScott]

Sounds great Terry! They are all so close. I recently scored a 18 505 “medium “ it’s exquisite. I’m actually preferring it to my 18 medium GB reissue.

[@DaveDamageDrums]

Cymbal sounds great Terry! I also just finished the Drum History Podcast video you and George did a few months ago. Great conversation and hang about Bonzo's gear! Re: the bass drum head, I agree, it looks like it probably had a ‘Ritchie Ring’ on it. Relatedly, how do you think Bonham’s symbol design got put on his bass drum when it came out? It seems unlikely that Remo or Ludwig would have imprinted it on, especially in the early days, maybe later. It also looks too perfect for it to be black tape in 3 concentric circles, or maybe spray painted on? Jimmy was the artist in group. Did he paint it on? A quick online search didn’t show up anything. Curious Bonhamites need to know! 😜✌❤🥁

[@NintenDub]

Thank you Terry for upholding the crack free zone I just got my Yamaha stage custom kit and my paiste ps7 medium thin is on back order

[@bonzoleum]

You get a 19”?

[@NintenDub]

@@bonzoleum it's an 18. I thought you had a 19' so referenced a video of yours and you said 18'. I def bought the pst7 off your recommendation.guessing yours is a '19? Either way, it's out of stock so I don't have it yet, and won't for a few weeks so I may be able to switch it

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

Those pst7 sound good on video where the guy is playing swing jazz, not sure if they used any b8 alloy back in the swing days, though. Anyone know what goes with that swing jazz? I have zildjian b8 ride but at times it just doesn't sound right with other genres.

[@davidval67]

Spunds great...Love yer latest setup with the toms over the hats

[@john6666steele]

That 505 sounds great Terry congrats! I just got an 18in 505 concert and it’s the best sounding one I’ve ever had.

[@bonzoleum]

Whats the weight on that? I saw 2 for sale on Reverb and was curious. 1550 grams?

[@john6666steele]

@@bonzoleum not sure of the weight but that’s where i bought it. The other one is probably still available

[@ariurip3751]

I just love 505

[@itsjjp6070]

Love the sound of the 505 over the CS, and appreciate the history. Makes me want to seek out an early 80s 18in 505. I'm looking for a black label 20in medium at the moment, an original and not one of the reissues.

[@bonzoleum]

I just saw one on Ebay I think, It's nice, because a lot of folks will list it as a 'medium ride', and a lot of buyers aren't hip to just the word MEDIUM as a model. They're outstanding. an original black label 20" 2002 MEDIUM. I will say this, companies made a return from the beefing up of the models in the last 40 years. It's possible that a brand-new current red label 2002 20" MEDIUM might not be too heavy anymore. The MEDIUMS got pretty beefy over time, but from my experience, in the last 10 years (at least, maybe 15), Paiste started to restore the weights to the-or back towards- the original lighter specs.

[@robertscranton8293]

Thanks Terry. I needed your enthusiasm...Query this: Can you really ever have too many cymbals...hmmm

[@Lanark-iy4mt]

That was a very un-Terry-like departure. Sudden. 😂

Your unboxing of those cymbals had me scared you were going to cut the crap out of yourself for a while Luckily you stopped and got something else to open the box

[@andrewfullerton7206]

Why oh why oh why did I sell my 505s including 18inch crash? Re-live my regret every time Terry raves about them.

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

It's hard thinking back on old cymbals, it's like buddies that moved away.

[@andrewfullerton7206]

@@Catinthehackmatrix someone else is enjoying them now I guess, try to be generous as I get older!

[@slingerland7719]

Hey Terry , what are the differences between the original giant beats and the new ones you can buy in store? Are the new ones exact replicas?

[@bonzoleum]

Simply put- the reissue/currently offered Giant Beat are 2002s with Giant Beat lathing. The originals had a different/larger bell.The sound is different; more BELL TONE in the crash.

[@slingerland7719]

Thanks Terry!

[@john6666steele]

How did you get the red off the colorsound?

[@bonzoleum]

I used a supposedly green solvent. I still don't have my sensee of smell back, but the cymbal looks and sounds nice!

[@VON_RHEDBEARD]

Dirty harry!!!

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

The sound didn't match up with the footage for this video.

[@mightyV444]

LOL! You hit that thing at exactly 5:05, too! 😂👍 Sounds a lot like a 2oo2 to me! It's got that same kind of 'spark' 😊 Many years ago, in '88, my band were recording demos in a little studio with its own kit, and the hi-hats were also 5o5's and sounded really good, too! 😃 Better than my own at that time, Meinl 'Marathon' ones that were non-lathed and clearly modelled after pAisTe's RUDE series but made of brass. I came across this following video only recently which also has a neat side-by-side comparison of the two in it, along with a strong Aussie accent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKSZfp-eZ9pgbMk 😄
