I love that cymbal as well. Very unique sounding and controlled at lower dynamics. It’s a pretty affordable cymbal too! Thank you for the kind words and watching!
Enjoyed Austin, nice collection of cymbals. Regarding the 20 K Con being labeled medium, I was told once or remember reading somewhere, it may have been labeled medium because of the cup/bell size. Don't know if that's true, just wanted to pass along. I'm a 67 yr old 2nd generation jazzer. My main ride for years was a Mid 50's 22 of my Dad's. Used it for years starting out and even into college then on the road in the lat 70's & 80's. Got worried it might get damaged or stolen, so retired it about 25 yrs ago. I would like to recommend you check out made by James Waples of Sydney Australia aka PUG Cymbals. A 20 inch ride that has become my new favorite. Continued success. keep swinging the tunes, and all good things!!!
That makes sense! I imagine it's more about the design than the weight with those cymbals. I've had a few 50's ride cymbals and they are wonderful. I've seen some PUG cymbals too and they sound fantastic! The hihats in this video are Bosphorus 14" Masters. Thanks for watching!
Yeah! I'm not sure when exactly they were produced (they're no longer made). I want to say early 2000's. I bought this one in 2016 but have never seen one brand new for sale. Thanks for watching!
I have a 22 rennaissance as well. I wasn’t keen on the clang. I hammered and lathed it so it’s more trashy. Went from just under 2600 to 2350. I also raised the clusters and polished them. I got it to where I wanted it. It sounded great as it was but definitely don’t suit me.
That's really cool! The renaissance are kinda odd being as heavy as they are. I pretty much exclusively use mine for more pop/rock/funk gigs or if I was playing with a big band. Otherwise it tends to feel a little heavy for small group playing. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I’m definitely not trying to claim that the Spizz is a genuine Spizzachino. From what I’ve read there might be some connection. Hoping some folks who know more can comment and clear the air on this! Thanks for watching!
