Manhole cover!

[@LeeRatbag]

I first experienced the Earth Ride in 1991, when I went in to record my first ever demo. At the time I was using the Pearl starter cymbals I'd bought with my first kit, and I wanted something better to record with, so I asked a drummer mate if I could borrow a decent ride. He lent me a 20" Brilliant Earth Ride, and as soon as I hit the thing for the first time I fell in love. I went out and bought one a couple of weeks later. It's still the only ride I use - in fact it's the only cymbal that appears on every recording I ever did. I love the ping, the thunderous buildup when you play with the flat of the stick, the clang of the bell...the thing is a monster. There's something primeval about it, the sheer weight, power and physicality of the thing...

[@acrain7]

I don’t know why but when you said “let’s hear them all together” I was fully expecting to hear every cymbal played all at once on top of one another in a cacophony of sound.

Yes good but the crashes are distracting. I'd rather hear them later on. I find it difficult to compare the riding beats. The last one is a higher pitch so why bother adding all that weight.

[@konger94]

I love the way Wade uses his cymbals. He doesn't care if it's the most brutal, thick, and loud rock cymbal, He's still gonna play it like it's a jazz one. Love the little elevator beat at 4:29 !

[@pigfish99]

that 80's earth ride sounds AMAZING, compared to the other two. no wonder you like playing with it, despite the weight!

[@smithno41]

I agree, the 80's version is the best of the lot.

[@g_y.rtz420]

yea its baffling how different it sounds from the 70s and 90s version yet branded similarly. It sounds so good and i wonder why they'd release the 90s version like that afterwards. Did people want the original sound? Did they want to use less material? It's like they perfected it in the 80s but then said nope

[@QuynhNguyen-qv9xy]

The 70s sounds fine to me. Since it is the first version, it is surprisingly good. The 80s is absolutely the best musical cymbal. But the 90s is a downfall fr.

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

I don't understand why he is even attempting and demonstrating crashes with an Earth Ride. It's like trying a motocross with an 18 wheeler. I would never expect to get a crash out of an Earth Ride. You are spoiled with your 20" K Custom that makes the most lovely sounds. (I have one too) On the other end of the spectrum is My 18" Kerope Ride which is a complete wash out in comparison. The think about the K Custom though, is it doesn't cut through like the Earth Ride. I don't understand comparing apples to oranges.

[@josephmezzina2142]

I love my 20” earth ride. It’s heavy and cuts through all the guitars with ease. Mine is an 80’s (no serial number). And it’s a ride, no crashing here. I actually crash it for a “gong” sound. It’s a beauty and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😊

Yes but the crash sounds that start each one make it harder to compare the ride beats. (And they aren't designed to crash anyway). I think it'd be much better to have edited and compared the ride beats separately from the crash hits.

@Lord of Diamonds blast beats require that you play your bass drum really hard and fast, which is a skill I don't think most jazz players spend a lot of time practicing.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

@@HrKCA have you not seen him play? his right foot and power hand are both ridiculously fast, not to mention he has the excellent limb independence that comes with jazz training. he can sound like he's got two bass drums with just one foot, that's how fast he is. and it's not unique to just him, either. many great metal drummers had jazz/university training backgrounds, like Mike Portnoy and Danny Carey

[@MrGlenakatheone]

I remember reading an interview with John Stanier, drummer for Helmet. Then seeing them live. Amazing experience. He used "regular" ride cymbals for crashes, and used a 22" Earth for his ride because he played so hard and hit with so much power that was the only way he wouldn't break cymbals every gig. Got him to autograph a broken drumstick from that show too. Lost it many years ago, but... what a show!

This one sounds great! Reminds me of my absurdly dirty, dented 80-94 ping ride

[@mancuniancandidatem]

Sometimes heavy cymbals have their place. I have an early 90s era 22 inch A Custom ping ride which for large stages and louder settings is fantastic. I used it for touring back in the late 90s early 2000nds. It is important to remember that the days of pre inear monitors, stage volumes could be loud, with drummers having a big side fill monitor. Heavy cymbals would do some of the work for you and help your playing stay relaxed at higher volume levels. I also have one of the first issues of the K Custom Dry Ride. (1989/1990) It is suprisingly heavy. Like an earth ride with hammering, but the bell is a different shape. I used it on a jazz gig in a pub last winter and it was perfect as the bass was electric, the keys amplified and the sax player is loud. We managed to play above the din of the rowdy crowd and they ended up loving the music. I also used an 18inch K medium crash (on the heavy side) which is normally useless outside of a big stage, but it came into it's own at this particular dynamic. All of a sudden it sounded buttery and would open up with ease. My normal go to jazz cymbals, a Constantinople, Istanbul Turk and vintage A would have been lost on this particular gig.

Though I've played drums as a hobby for about 16 years, I'm not actually well-versed in any technical stuff, I mostly just wing it. Wanted a cymbal that sounded like what Slayer had on their Reign In Blood album, so The Reign made the most perfect sense. I did not expect it to weigh as much as it did when it arrived. And then I stumble upon this video where my mans showcases a 4.5 kg beast with a great sound. Love it.

Pairing up something like a Dream 22" Bliss paper thin with these gongs makes for a bizarro kit contrast.
