@@AngryFarmer922 haha they ain’t great from that era indeed, imho. We’ve relathed some of them (most of them only the bottom and the one in the video which we did a full modification on) and when they are say 500-600 grams lighter they are so much nicer (to me at least)!
I would love it if someone at Paiste would explain the actual difference between the 2002, 505, and 404. Of course the 2002 is going to be more versatile and complex but they all sound musical.
You always have the sweetest sounding cymbals and this Zildjian is of no exception. Every day I add a cymbal to my wish list. Someday I will have some real gems arriving. Waiting for a used Sabian XS20 ride now. To have a full set of some top of the line cymbals is a musical dream. The playing of the kit and cymbals is always stellar! TY
How did Joe Morello's name get on this cymbal? I only know of two, the original Avedis Zildjian on his "Take Five" recording and the one A-Series "Take Five Model" reissued by Zildjian Company a few years ago. This Paiste sounds great but I don't think it is a "Take Five" model, at least not legally.
CymbalWiki: Late '65, early '66 after Ludwig took over the distribution of Formula 602's for North America, Joe Morello was approached by Bill Ludwig to endorse Paiste. Since Joe played and endorsed Ludwig Drums, he was the obvious choice for a signature cymbal set baring his name. Paiste catalog: "In personal collaboration with Joe Morello, this beautiful melodically coordinated set was created" A custom set of Formula 602 cymbals made to Joe's specification (the 1st. artist model!) comprising of 14" sound edge hi hats, 17", 18" and 20" sizes. Visual cues show much finer lathing and possibly different hammering compared to the standard 602's
@@driftdrums5218 I did not know this. Thanks! I did know that Joe had endorsed other drum models over the years, but I knew nothing about his cymbal endorsements. I would like to see a comparison of the recently re-issued Zildjian Take Five model and the above cymbal. Thanks again.
Great snare sound! Also great to hear a drum solo that is not "linear fill based". I feel that now-a-days drumming in restricted to that gospel chop type of grooves and fills
