I still can't believe Chick is gone.

[@ketdogt_-ew6nl]

Yes, so sad.

[@markdavid3076]

RIP maestro. I'll never get over his passing.

[@itsallinthewrists4251]

RIP ❤

[@nolem5417]

Rest In Peace

The other face of chick corea : the drumer , multiple talent.

[@BCaroselli]

Legendary!! Now He Sings Now He Sobs is one of my favorite records ever such a cool story to know that same cymbal has been passed around since then

[@arnauddolmen]

Thank you Chick, Peace

[@patdaveydrums]

Thank you for sharing. Back in the day i once went on tour with a minidisc player and one disk. Now He Sings Now He sobs. 2 weeks in a buss with that recording and life was never quite the same again.

[@danielchernau3503]

Okay let me get this straight. That's the same ride on Now He Sings, Return To Forever, and Light As A Feather. Holy shit.

[@jarrahdrum]

Very very interesting, thank you for sharing this Chick

[@drumtwo4seven]

I love Roys playing very much. Lately been listening to alot of Corea Holland Haynes Metheny Burton. I love Roys playing in that group... and in many others as well 👍

[@gjtube37]

Thank you, Chick. You are such a great storyteller with great stories to tell and with great cymbals! Bless you and stay healthy! We all need you and love you!!!

[@DarrellNutt]

THANK YOU Chick! What a wonderful way to tribute the great Ray Haynes!

[@richdefazio2497]

The same cymbal on Light as a feather, and Now he sings, now he sobs--Wow! Mind blown. Amazing how often I’ve heard those records, and didn’t know

[@dingodogrecords]

There were about 400 of these made by Sabian. They came with a certificate of authenticity telling the story and hand signed by Chick. I picked up #24

[@CaliforniaBushman]

So, so cool. If Roy is still able, watching them both tell old war stories in their Boston area accents here would be epic.

[@nicoswarley]

Jeffrey A. Smith hold on, there's another paht!

[@willissalomon8130]

Oh man...what a pleasure...This is the shit...

[@slams777]

Chick Thanks for showing this ! Roy had some fast licks going !!!

[@KhalDrogo76]

oh man what a beauty that cymbal is!!!!!

[@rdpatterson2682]

Very cool.

[@RonCarterBassist]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@mlggodzilla1567]

We need more of these videos.

[@eightsforjim]

This is a fun article. Many drummers and others were treated to wonderful information about that particular era of jazz that was just on fire with talent and ideas and lots of change. I have a Paiste 602 20 inch flat ride I bought used from Jacks Drum Shop in Boston in 1974. . The second Chick played it, I knew it was the same cymbal as mine. The sound was undeniably the same. I still use it all the time. It sounds great with nylon tips.

[@soulnik]

Great to hear a legend talking about another legend replete with cymbals and gongs!

[@trabrex7697]

I love the history lessons👍

[@kentbyron7608]

Wow Chick! Thank you for sharing that story about Roy Haynes and the cymbal that was on so many albums, including the awe-inspiring Now He Sings, Now He Sobs album you did way back in the day. Please tell more stories, share philosophies! This was as great as hearing you play. You must be like Henny Youngman: “I’ve got a million of “em”. Jazz stories are just as important to jazz history as the music. Gratitude!

[@isaacj6212]

This is the first time I've heard Chick speak, it's so cool he still has that Chelsea accent. I'm from the Boston suburbs, so I get a kick out of hearing legends and heros like Chick and Roy kept their Boston twang. He's even got a Chelsea t-shirt on. Lovely story about one of the most important drummers in history. Roy kept that power and finesse right into old age, his stuff on Metheny's Questions and Answers is legendary.

[@johnrobinson8323]

Thanks for that awesome video Chick! I had the privilege of watching Roy Haynes give a drum clinic in 1984. Wonderful drummer !

[@mattildahubbardo]

Wow thats awesome chic! Thanks for sharing 🙂 i recognize the sound from light as a feather. 🎺🎼🎶🥁

[@ArnelleX-us9yo]

Thankyou for the history lesson Chick...Iam a drummer myself....I have all of the Return to Forever recordings....As well as individual recordings....Yes Roy Haynes is definitely one of the greats.... His sound is unique....

[@AndersChanTidemann]

I love everything about this!

[@jefferydaley7789]

Glad you take interest in a drummers sound many players I feel never engage enough with drums

[@benf340]

Oh my gosh I’ve listened to that cymbal on so many records

[@drumtwo4seven]

Wow thats sweet 👍

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

whoa, a Paiste that sounds like an Istanbul K. but then again, I had a Czechoslovakia-made cheapo machine stamped cymbal (I forgot the brand, they only had one at the time) that's pure magic.

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you for everything Chick! My life would be very different without your music inspiring me as a kid. Thank you for inspiring me to this day!

[@JakeLindqvist]

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. As a young boy I fell in love with this very same clear, bright pingy ride Airto played. No I got to hear its story. I spotted the sound right away, so I knew this must have been the one Airto played. The cymbal sound on that first RTF vinyl very much molded on my taste for cymbals. Thank you mr Corea and thank you KZbin algorithms.

[@ReinaldoSantiago]

Thanks Chick !!! I Love you and Mister Roy

[@jonwalker6420]

a work in progress.. much love

[@odaydrums]

I love these little get to know Chick videos! Keep em coming. Hope were all playing soon : )

[@eedleate]

I predict this podcast will be made into a SNL skit.

[@dattallaudiophile236]

1:14 OMG I love that tune!!!!!!!

[@MattKane]

Thank for this incredible hisSTORY!

[@AlHuerta]

Chicks the man ! First time I saw him Greek theatre in LA 1988 - Electric band with Chick, Dave Weckl, John Patitucci, Eric Marienthal, and Frank Gambale. Wow!. The following that was Herbie Hancock with Micheal Brecker, Darryl Jones, Charlie Drayton and Steve Thorton. What a show indeed. I also got to see him with the Acoustic band and a later version of Electric band.. Always nice to hear the legends.

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

Rest In Peace😭

[@ebelperrelli]

Fantastic! I'm from Brasil and sow him at Ronnie Scott in London 1993.

[@drumroll420]

Earlier this evening before I saw this vid, I saw one with Danny Gottlieb playing with Pat Metheny, and it reminded me of my love for flat ride cymbals, as I always wanted one, and the one I found that was perfect years ago, I was too broke to buy lol. Then I see this vid, and that's the sound I found in that flat ride. Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, and Dave Weckl, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@sebastianelias8471]

Oro en bruto. (Raw gold). Un abrazo desde Argentina!!!

[@bobbydtv1]

very cool the Sabian flat ride on your kit almost sounds like Ed Thighpens 18 inch crystal flat ride .very cool cymbal as well .i swear roys cymbal sounds like it was on Romantic Warrior .Great story your the grooviest to Chic .be safe and peace love ya man

[@DarkeningSkies1]

That is one historically significant cymbal- well, the artists who played it are, anyway.

[@mhp2766]

Great story Chick, thanks for sharing

[@darrynfarrugia9904]

I saw Marcus play this cymbal with Chick at Ronnie Scott’s. I got to hear it and I got to touch it.

[@i3zd]

RIP to the fuckin' king.

[@digsjazzalot]

Chick is such a cool human.

[@trevormcmanis]

American One Productions Rehearsal and Drum Studios in NJ gives two thumbs up 👍🏻🥁👍🏻. Thank you for sharing this great story! Troy

[@FusionHowie]

Thank you for sharing.. You are an amazing influence on me and im a drummer ! I hope you understand the impact you have had on all of us.. THANK YOU

[@brent3760]

Marcus is an amazing drummer. Runs in the family!

[@cs9021]

This ride would sound amazing with the small bead tips I.e. Peter Erskine signature sticks. Sounds incredible, very musical.

[@tanderson8213]

Really nice...

[@IoannisPrekas]

I GOT ONE OF THE ORIGINALS FROM THE 60's GUYS OMG

[@boblevey]

I have a very similar one same time period and weight. Love Chick, Love Roy!!! I have the NHSNHS Album and fell in love with it way back. If anyone’s interested let me know. Blessings.

[@danjuric622]

Must have some great memories, what a beautiful life. Love these kind of videos, thanks for sharing.

[@pavelow36]

noooo. was just binge watching Roy's drum solos yesterday and this wow! talk about history! love now he sings. always my go to album whenever I get stressed out. still an amazing album.

[@calhoun5428]

CHICK COREA，you the best！

[@robertosilveira2384]

Incredible!

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

I believe I can remember that cymbal, the 1968 version, from the Album - Return to Forever, ECM. I hear it (and it’s clearly the 1968 version, of the 3 mentioned) played by Airto, in the last section of side 2, La Fiesta. Also the cymbal roll, soon into Track 1 is clearly that cymbal.

[@Alphanumerick]

Reconocí ese platillo de los workshops!

[@futhman]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've seen you play with Marcus and Brian Blade but never got to see you play with Mr. Haynes. Your Akoustic Trio album was my intro to jazz (along with Billy Cobham's Spectrum) and it's been a wonderful 25 years listening to your music. All my love to you sir!!!

[@chriseganiii]

If anyone dislikes this video, I swear to god...

[@竹内ジョウスケ]

There is one person that is about to get it.

[@SupraJin]

Thank you very much for sharing this story! I'm a brazilian drummer, big fan of Airto and i've been recently using both light as a feather and return to forever albums to study his compositions... The Return to forever song's groove, to me, gives exactly everything this cymbal has to offer.. the clear and subtle ping and a bright, slightly low end wash. I'm a cymbal nerd and I'll definetely look up for this Sabian product, i'm definetely sure it's going to be a big addition to their vintage bright portfolio! Greetings from Brazil!

[@vitaliykuloyans]

Thanks 😇

[@jorgevillegas6855]

thank you Chick for thst wonderful story.those old psistes from 60,s and 70,s were really wonderful and yes that particular flat ride is a very good one..it could be a 602 or a variation on that because it seems to sound fuller and with a better crash

[@cjwolfedrums2077]

This was awesome!🔥👊🏼

[@alejandrobustos2268]

PAISTE Formula 602 Flatride 18" or 20" ROy Haynes original flatride cymbal 1968. Paiste make the first flatride cymbal of the history for Joe Morello and second place for Roy Haynes.

[@reivilore]

Good content Chick, this format is very charming!! 😎

[@michaelgreen5266]

I love this!! next time you have to play Chick!!!

[@SKragseth]

This is so cool

[@jazbuntu8170]

Wow !! used on the Return to forever album !! Your a living legend Chick :)

[@tigerstripe8049]

Flatride rulez! ❤️ I remember this cymbal appear back in the '15 online workshop. Love the snap and woody, clear response of a proper flat. : )

[@bzaban]

I love everybody mentioned in this video, hahahah And for anyone interested in having this sound on the set, the Zildjian 20" K Custom Flat Top Ride is VERY similar to the old Haynes cymbal. Just Great!

[@mullrump2]

Amazing 😍

[@ArmanArmondo]

Amazing chick! Love your channel!

[@kjc9trader491]

I had a similar late 1960's A. Zildjian Flat Ride - 18" - sounded very much like your Paiste... I eventually switched over to mostly K Zildjians, and ended up finding an 18" K Custom Flat Ride - out of the Zildjian Vault!! Very Tony Williams type dry stick darker sound (more similar sound to the Marcus Cymbal) ... It's now my fave cymbal for jazz/latin etc... Great Story / Roy's Legacy will Always carry on! ~~ Thanks Chick!! (I know this - but many perhaps do not - that you are actually quite a good drummer - as well as the best keyboardist on the planet!)....

[@bobbysands6923]

The cymbals are the hardest thing to get right and the most important part of a jazz drummer's sound. I have great sounding cymbals but always think everything else I hear is better.

[@ricardogonhin]

Love this!! Now I’m gonna have to listen back-to-back to these albums and keep my ears open for that ride. It sure sounds lovely! Are there any videos of Chick playing drums out there?? I bet he’s got awesome time!

[@guskohlin5347]

So much cymbalism

[@bellbrass]

As soon as you hit that cymbal, I knew it was the one from "Now He Sings." Nice story!

[@Uuuuuuurrgggggghhhhh]

Nice video!

[@nram3930]

Godmanit now he has a signature cymbal... I really enjoyed that little history lesson Chick! You and your music inspired me a lot, and Roy has sure done the same - especially as a drummer. Thank you for sharing that story with us, and I hope that one maybe I'll pick up one of these "Chick Corea Signature Royalty Rides" and keep the legacy going. Would probably be out of my budget for while though :P (but I guess after they come out they won't really go anywhere). P.S. I hope you get to Israel after the Corona Fiasco ends, I always wanted to hear you live! Have a nice day~

[@thomasmoje5926]

I have an older 22" Zildjian K flat ride cymbal very similar to that one that Roy Haynes signed..have no idea of what particular model it is no markings at all on it other than the Zildjian K imprint pressed into the metal. It is a monster weighs a ton. Has very clean clear crystalline stick definition perfect for faster cymbal patterns through quieter passages..doesn't build up a 'wash' that overpowers the other instruments. Didn't know you're a drummer too Chick. Lot of history there in those cymbals.

[@ramonkey2939]

thomas moje I got lucky five years ago and picked up an old K flat ride like yours I think that is about as close as we are gonna get to that cymbal chick got

[@musicality8425]

LMFAO! I love this!

[@SteveHughesMusicT-hex]

Cool man

[@ofdrumsandchords]

Roy Haynes played a lot on this Zildjian flat-top ride. No cup. That gives it this peculiar sound tight and crystalline. Inconvenience, it's not crashable. Very interesting ride for the clubs where you can't play loud, or for studio work. Flat rides are part of the Pat Metheny sound, but I think Paul Wertico played on Paiste cymbals.

[@kjc9trader491]

Actually - Roy's old cymbal here IS a Paiste...

[@Gargoyle3438]

Maybe it's because Chick said the cymbal was from 1968, but I really felt like I could hear the sixties comin off that cymbal.

[@1Lee]

Can anyone confirm if this cymbal is a Paiste formula 602 flat ride? In the video, Chick says it's a Paiste cymbal

[@tylon2999]

Looks like its a 602 porotype. My 18"looked nothing like Chicks.

[@EricBaileyDrums]

it is an 18" pre-serial 602 flat.

[@jonathanfrieze8497]

I have the 16" crash but I use the k dark custom ride works well for I love cymbals like there children god bless the alchemist hammering away

[@rogerwelsh2335]

Why do I think that the Roy Haynes cymbal is brighter than the new one he was comparing it to. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard comparisons different than the guy playing it. I am terrified my ear is bad. Does anyone out there think it’s a bad if a drummer doesn’t hear a pitch accurately?

[@turnaroundphraseNY]

now he beats the cymbals

[@av-uc4vx]

WOW.......

[@dkovorik409]

Hi. Very much enjoyed hearing about the cymbal. Do you know the story behind the relationship of Roy and the Ludwig Jazzette kit? Rumor has it that, back in the day, Bud Slingerland and Bill Ludwig both were trying to get Roy to endorse their respective brands and Roy needed a small kit that would fit into the sports car he was driving at the time...I think it was a Fiat Spider...and Slingerland came up with the "Jet" kit and Ludwig came up with the "Jazzette". The Jazzette was what he ended playing and endorsing. I'd sure love to get the story from the horse's mouth! Stay safe!

[@longhaulblue1145]

Herbie turned 80 last week. Will you guys play together again?

[@axeman2638]

now that would be something to see, maybe they could get Stanley Clarke on bass as well.
