      Boss lesson dude. I just got me a vintage Paiste Rude 20" Ride/Crash (been using a Signature line full for god knows how long which is a great cymbal - so versatile). Cleaned it up pretty good with the old lemon trick! It can be loud but I'm lovin it!

    So glad someone's talking about the ever important ride cymbal outside of the straight ahead jazz context. I work at a local drum shop and teach lessons on the side, and this is the exact sentiment I try to push. Sometimes it falls on deaf ears but the guys and girls that will learn to play/buy a nice ride always sound a million times better once they do. The real beauty is that while there are basically three "zones", everyone has their own voice once they get comfortable. Truly a deceivingly complex instrument. Thank you for putting this information out, because it'll only make better and more musical drummers. Keep up the beatdown.

      @@julianboyd8719 Yeah, the K sweet, is sweet! I'm a Paiste guy myself (2002, or Sigs). The both crash nice, great dynamics, I think the Paiste cuts a bit more, and more explosive as a crash. Even though it may not be on that level, the 20 A custom projection ride is very nice too. Got a few rides, and gonna pick up that Sweet ride this weekend. A bit warmer. I'm not thrilled with my K Custom heavy dark, although it has it's place

  • @seppoinnanen5577
    @seppoinnanen5577 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think that the bow of the cymbal can be divided into more playing areas than just one. I normally play some 10cm from the edge for the sweetest sound, but I constantly keep on changing the playing area and dynamics depending on what I want from my ride sound. Some lower bell rides have the "ugliest" sound just below the bell, so I normally keep avoiding (but not always) sticking there. And, like you showed, using the shank (or the shoulder) of the stick is a great thing for quick accents between riding with a tip. I just love that sharp "klang" while I'm "dancing" all over the bow area :)

  • @jimkeogh8552
    @jimkeogh8552 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don't know why I put off watching tis video for so long; I guess it's because I thought I was accomplished on the ride. One technique I like doing with the edge is, when I'm playing other cymbals, and I want a "gong" tone carrying through, I'll run the shaft of the stick vertically down against the edge, and it carries through other notes from other cymbals behind those notes. Thanks again for helping to make "experienced" players better players.

      Rob, there are at least three zones on the hi-hat that can be used as effectively for multiple sounds just like the ride ... particularly when you play in a cover band that prefers less cymbal work ... even the bell makes a nice accent in quieter tunes!

Thanks for sharing both your experiences and your opinions, because I can relate so well with what you are suggesting, advising and encouraging. You never exclude one major factor - you are not stating that one way is right and everything else is wrong. As musicians, we need to understand the reasons why we settle upon our personal musical decisions, and your advice is truly welcome! I just went from the 'how to set up your kit for maximum performance' video to this video...and the 'how to adjust your kick pedal' video is cued up next. Vital, highly useful information; all of it.

    Hey Rob, do you think a Paiste ride or a good plate make a big difference also with the sound?. By the way, that stick looks like a beast glad to see its still hanging in there. The feathering of the wood on the stick might give it a brush type sound. Anyway thanks for another greate video.

    Dave King did an awesome Rational Funk segment "Know Your Ride". He's talking about spending a LOT of time playing just the ride. Really getting to know the entire surface. How it responds, what its capable off and essentially OWNING your ride technique rather than it being just a 22 inch crash.

  • @danfelixmusic2536
    @danfelixmusic2536 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is great Rob. You are spot on as usual practical tips.. Terri Lyne Carrington once told me that the ride cymbal is our voice as drummers. We all play different rides and we play those rides differently and it's our own stamp. Like your guitar analogy. FWIW I think, for rock, Mickey Curr and Jeff Porcaro are great exponents of clever and musical ride playing live and in the studio. They both played so many genres on record. For jazz I think Elvin is the ride monster. Actually those jazz cats knew how to wring tone out of only one ride. Great video my friend as always!😁✌️

    1. What snare is that 2. I've watched your traditional grip video and I'm having trouble, maybe I'm just rushing it, but I want to learn in in about a year, suggestions?

    Really great video. Also a good tip I got from Jeff Hamilton is to not hold the stick very tightly when you are playing the bow with the tip, letting the stick bounce, as it lets all the different resonances of the cymbal come through

    Awesome video Rob! Is there any similar video about hi-hat? I'm interested in troubleshooting my technique of playing classic "funky/fusion" 3 note pattern (straight 16th notes). I don't know how to describe it better but let's say the same as "swing" pattern but straighten out to match 16th note grid (not triplets, the small rest at fourth 16th note in a quarter note). Also putting accent on first or last note. I trying to do it with Moeller but something is not right. Thanks!

    I have a Paiste Alpha 20" Full Ride, I love laying into that bad boy and using it as a crash! Nice, big and washy and stays in control

    Would it help my playing if I stuck my tongue out like you do?

    Best lesson on the ride cymbal yet! And the groove of the beats, oh my word, great stuff!

    Thanks man I am sticking with your lessons. I had to move into a RV trailor with almost no sound proofing, So I muted things down,But what I had to do was move to brushes most of the time.I have really discovered the smooth sound and various sounds and patterns you can get right on the ride.

    Keep killin it in these videos. You are an inspiration for drumming and teaching the art.

    It’s also to do with what type of ride you have. I am looking for more a dry ride and I love the washes on it and the bow and everything but my first ride is more a rock ride has a lot of metallic overtones

    I've personally always had issues with the way my stick rebounds off the bell, makes it hard to play, feel like I always have to look right at the bell to stay on it and it still sounds inconsistent. Great video as always.

    Playing a drum kit without a ride is like playing football without a a hand!

    I see Logic in the background :) What is the difference between the ride in and ride out in midi? Are they hits of the bow of the ride? is ride in a bit closer to the bell and ride out closer to the edge?
