Great display of some amazing cymbals. Don’t hate me, but I’m a Paiste guy! I like old Zildjian’A’s…I certainly can appreciate K’s(especially your collection!)….but honestly that gorgeous smooth Funch Elvin Jones blew me away! That is ‘THE’ sound in my head. I’m judging the cymbals on ‘sound tests’ which really isn’t fair. Play those vintage K’s with the kit and they’re the golden age!
Thanks so much Tim. Been a fan for a number of years now but this video really takes the cake...just wonderful. Just one last thing; would you mind including your street address and whether or not there are security cameras. Thanks!!!!!!
Wonderful collection and great to hear the contrast between current and future classics. Nice of you to pull this together and post this for us! Oh, and really diggin' your playing. 🎵
Scary how these YT AI's work. I'm watching a Paul Francis podcast, then checking out some Ludwig Classic Maples... next thing I know, your video pop's up ! I'm not even a Jazz drummer ! . Cool video though. 😉
Wow. Those all sound exquisite! To my ear The Fuchs Elvin model was sweetest sound when you dug in at the end. Nice drums too! I’m a Ludwig guy but I do have 14x6.5 ‘53 Broadkaster Snare - 3 ply unpainted interior (in the same wrap) in my collection that I use on jazz gigs. I keep an Evans 59 head on it… sounds killer.
The one I like most is the Funch Elvin Jones. Wow. Perfect sound. That is EXACTLY how a ride should sound like... BTW, Tim, I'm curious: what model is your hit hat stand?
Super cool stuff! The old 50's K has a gong like quality to my ears, and I really like that first one on the left as well! The Elvin cymbal definitely had muted highs and a smooth tone
Thank you Tim. I love them all. Sonic perfection. Have you ever played any Matt Bettis pies? I’ve bought 4 now and absolutely love them. One day I will own some old K’s….. I hope! Thanks for all your videos. Man, your playing is so sweet and inspirational. ❤️☮️
Thank you! I have not to my knowledge played a Matt Bettis. I have heard them though, especially when the cymbalholic forum was going. Thanks again for your kind words!
@@TimMetz Thank you Tim. I’ve been getting some sweet pies (and annoying my wife with my drum cymbal hoard….ahem, collection) Hazelshould in Studio City, CA. Gerry is the owner and has one of the best cymbal shops on Reverb IMO. His videos are well done. I promise I get no $ for this shameless plug. I just wanted to share with you and your subscribers, as I’m sure y’all are serious about good sounding pies. Take care and I look forward to your next videos. ❤️☮️
One rivet is ideal. Outer edge. Steel not brass (louder). Two rivets or more reduce the duration of vibration without increasing volume of sizzle. The closer to the outer edge you place the rivet, the bigger and longer the sizzle. One. Only one.
I love those old K’s, I have a bunch myself but I really love the Fuch cymbal where are they from and where can a person buy them? I also like the Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary cymbals. Great video.
I honestly could not pick a best, I like them all. I have a couple of rides that I'd like to drill and rivet, but I am so afraid of screwing them up...... it's tough finding the "right" cymbal, but the search is fun! Thanks and Blessings Tim!
@@TimMetz my first Zildjian way back around 1964 had rivets, and I wish I still had it. Also, are you by chance related to Norm Metz from Las Vegas? I worked with him about 40 years ago. Yes, I'm old, but I do enjoy your Jazz Drumming videos! Thanks and Blessings!
Awesome video. after collecting old k’s and a’s my whole life I don’t think they sound better than modern cymbals. In fact I usually find them inferior. I would bet that all weight being equal in a blindfold test, most people would choose the sound of a new meinl or Istanbul.
I think I’m voting for the new one… err the oldest one. You know what I mean. It fills this lower sonic space behind the cymbal sound in a pretty incredible way.
@@TimMetz Thank for the tips! A pair of nylon tip drumsticks is what I'm getting now. The wooden tips begins to break after a couple of hours "hard" playing and then when I need the "crisp" cymbal sound, I always have to search in my bag for my newest ones.
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 that is certainly one way to look at it. I tend to disagree especially about the old stamp. It’s almost impossible to find a cymbal that sounds like that outside of the old k market.
@@TimMetzI only mention that because when you started listing the weights I thought you were giving the price, and some quick mental arithmetic revealed that would not be too far off 😅
and this is why, as drummers and musicians, we need to constantly remind ourselves that the music comes from us, first and foremost. The gear we use merely supplements our playing.
@@kristopherdetar4346 I never implied you did. I just happen to be in possession of some nice cymbals and wanted to show them off to people. Kinda like having a nice car you take to car shows. What's the point if you can't share with others? I liked your wind gong video! Great sounds!
