It’s a 60’s 5x14 Supraphonic. Charlie used one quite frequently in the 60’s. Definitely on Beggar’s Banquet and Let it Bleed.

Thanks very much, Joe!

Haha! Good catch

He didn’t start doing that until the mid 70’s. In fact, on this recording he’s opening the hi hats on the backbeats at certain times. Use your ears.

@@JohnStrandt there’s this assumption that Charlie always lifted his right hand off the hats but if you watch any earlier live footage you clearly see that he never did that until a certain period. The story is that he saw Jim Keltner doing it during the concert for Bangladesh which was 1971. You see Charlie start doing it occasionally in 1972 and ‘73. It didn’t become a consistent part of his playing until the mid to late 70’s. Check this clip from ‘69. Plays consistent 8th notes on the hats. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SUYH3-nJ8pg.htmlsi=njz0vjosQDd2mBWT
