    This is really such a great explanation of cymbals that I've never seen anyone explain before. It's nice to have someone break it down in such an understandable way.. Good job on this video brother.

    Just to put a physics slant on this, you have a theoretical limit to how much kinetic energy you can whack into a piece of brass. The bigger the cymbal, the more mass to absorb said kinetic energy, which then gets released as sound. The bigger the cymbal, the more evenly it releases the energy, vs smaller cymbals that have less mass, radiate the energy more quickly and are given to over-"saturation" which makes the cymbal sound like it's choking, which Mendiesel goes into around 4:53

    yes, i agree-bigger cymbals are where it's at. never mess with any crash smaller than a 18inch-avoid big thick loud projection crashes,unless you got the touch and work them,great video and love your approach.

    You can go small with big, but you can't go big with small.

    Great minds think alike. Whenever I cashed my golden fried chicken weekly paycheck, I hustled my ass down to Tommy's, sat in his cymbal room, and knocked the shit out of everything for a few hours until I was satisfied. Or, I would just steal one from the band hall.

      Hey Ron!!! Funny you commented, In the original raw footage I actually mention you in the segment about the cymbals I had in High School when you sold me that Paiste ride cymbal. Unfortunately I had to edit it out because there was a bunch of rambling surrounding it.

      @@BrianTheChristopher Too funny! I may have "borrowed" that Paiste from Robbie Dodd. Serves him right for playing a Pearl Drum Kit. CB700 was the bomb, got it from Northwest Music in 6th grade.

    Its music just make your own sound. if you play a lot of notes in your own music loads of big dark cymbals are just going to become a wall of noise. If I come back to hit a cymbal and it still ringing hard from the hit before its too big.

      @@krusher74 that's not true, you could say the same thing about having a bunch of bright cymbals still ringing hard from the hit. Depends on the player and choice of cymbals and how they are played.

      It needs to be in the context of how many notes you play. If your cymbals are big and washy and you hit them often, they will become a wall of noise. We need to be careful that the sound we like with also work with how we play.

    Hi it’s interesting because the bigger you go the shittier the sound is. In a small place they all sound good then when you get big like in an arena they all sound the same very bad.
    The bigger you get the shittier they sound you’ll find out.

      @@RorertoLombardo I'll find out what exactly? I've played big cymbals for 20 years in small and big venues where they sounded great in either settings. I guess you never found out...😀
