Jazz drummers have been playing small kick drums since the 1940's bebop era. They generally sound better with smaller jazz ensembles where upright bass holds the quarter notes down and the kick is used for accents and comping. Big band drummers generally feathered quarter notes on large kick drums to reinforce the quarter note pulse.
Although yes the ride does have a very jazzy warm sound to it and would kick ass in a lot of situations finding that ideal jazz ride sound may come with perhaps a different ride for others. For me, ideally Meinl Sand ride is a good one, but then again so are the Paiste Dark Twenty series.
Current Banter might be by now. I paid well over $700 3 years ago for mine. Now you’ve got me headed upstairs to the drum room to play mine. 15” hats, 20, 22,24, and 26” 30ths
I never really care about what it is you’re demoing. Truly tasteful drumming. So much rhythmic diversity. Your right hand seems to have a mind of its own with those ride patterns man. I learn a new one with each video
Oh my god, it sounds so much nicer than expected. I was expecting so many over bearing overtones but it actually has a really beautiful balance and crashes perfectly! Would love to play this cymbal one day
That's a great cymbal, some great drum sounds and some great playing, Sir. That is one class act! I've got a 26" Agop signature and I just love it to bits.
My God, what you can do with almost nothing! I’ve been playing for 45 yrs.-I wish I could play like you. The smooth feel and touch is unreal! BTW, the cymbals are beautiful.
The first time I heard you (Carter) play was back with that large metal bell in a short demo.. I immediately did not want to like what I was hearing even though it was too late.. it stuck.. In this style of drumming what this video reveals is brilliance and mastery at it's best.. Those who know of what I speak simply know.. Oh and as a result of that older video I too have a set of Gon-Bot bells with a single spring between them.. very cool.. Thank you for the inspiration :)
Full honesty, i think I've watched this video more than any other on TH-cam. I watch all your videos but this one i come back to over and over. That ride is so tasty and the playing is fantastic. Id love to see you play this cymbal more in your newer content
Great playing, feel, and tuning, as always. But the things that just gets me is how well you mic and mix your set. It makes me doubly angry whenever you make a video; because I know I have to watch from beginning to end and that hardly anyone records drums as fantastic as you.
His playing is what makes the recording sound good. Every hit is hit with the optimal angle and velocity and to the optimal spot. And his playing is interesting, that also makes you feel the recording is good. Of course the earthworks mics are really good, but it's just a small piece of the puzzle.
I’ve got a Meinl 26 that I really enjoy playing because it’s a great ride and crash, and I love the wobble of this large cymbal. It’s the only Meinl I have among mostly Agop’s. I really like the 26” that you’re playing! Thanks for another great video Carter!
That’s it I want a 30” ride. You know what?! Give me a gong and drill a hole in the center. Any old gong will do. Hahaha Jokes aside I love your playing sir. You’re an inspiration for me. Keep kicking ass. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻
I'm a guitar player, so I don't know squat about drums / cymbals. Sounds good to me. But man, kudos to the engineer. Best sounding drums I've ever heard on a TH-cam video.
2:25 definitely the best transition from swing to even tempo I've probably ever heard. Transitions usually get lost in the mud for me playing and listening. So sick to hear you throw that down, even you seemed surprised in a way!!!
The crazy thing to me besides this being a dumb nice cymbal, Is that your playing, from beginning to end, sounds like a well-written piece of classical music. Bravo, complete with dynamics, feels, and movements and a large climatic ending! Props, keep killin! I admire your musicality.
I recognized the Scofield groove at 4:47. My 24” Agop SE Jazz sounds and crashes like a close relative to the 26” here and not at all like my 22” SE Jazz ride. Agops are all beautiful cymbals!
Bartosz Lasota Bartosz my father was Polish and a World War Two veteran with Polish Army fighting Germans. I’m still playing drums but my father thought that playing Chopin was higher level than playing drums! I bought two Istanbul cymbals after hearing Carter play,what a great player. I haven’t been to Poland since 2010. I hope to go again. Long live memories of Polish veterans .... First to fight!
Brilliant playing as always and top notch sound. I love the main sound of that ride. It doesn’t sound too big as we might expect. The bell is a bit of a disappointment. With a cymbal so big it seems like it should ping more. Please keep just sound demoing all the stuff you own, it’s so fun to watch.
Have to add a second quick note. Many Commenters have rightfully said how good Carter is. I agree. I get the vibe of Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix. So fluid and smooth.
Cymbal is lush - i went to price them: $734.25 for the 24" on MC.com; oh well... Carter, you are now my favorite drummer. No wonder I haven't heard of you. You've been playing in the pit orchestra! I am inspired to set up my Ludwig Classic newer B/Os and start sheddin'!
Ride it , crash it, bell sounds divine and it has great balanced volume and sustain, but never too much. Drool worthy cycbal, but then again Carter could make pie plates sound fabulous.
Drummers from the big band era played 26" bass drums and 17" cymbals. Now we're playing 26" cymbals and 17" bass drums.
Just the evolution of music. Most people don't want a kick drum that sounds like a concert bass drum.
im down to play 26 on both

Current Banter yessir!
Bigger better 🤣👍🏾 the problem is traveling... i am still happy with my 32” sabian ride 😁
This is the ideal jazz ride sound. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance sounds like.
@MrMyopinionsmatter it's a meme, you dip
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@whs1pmjazz a lot of the musicians on youtube are boomers so they dont know meme culture
Jose F Pirela medium thin low gang

Came for the 26” ride stayed for the drumming
Yessss
Me 3.
Seriously, this dudes on fire.
Absolutely correct.
I think Carter could play a cheap amazon-bought kit and it would sound like a million bucks.
This man's playing is so full and effective, you almost forget there's no band.
this whole drumset sounds so damn fire.
When the cymbal went *BwOOOooooosh* I felt that.
and here i am using a piece of paper to make my snare sound like a snare
Update 08.1.2021: Getting a new snare soon :D
Nothing wrong with that!!
Me too, it works really well
I just taped an eraser to my snare head
Hey, as long as it works
An idea isn't stupid if it works
That cymbal is probably worth more than my car LOL
Yeah I got one 2-3 years ago. Paid over $700 for it then....
But it’s a beast. I pull it out just to aggravate the band..
But I really do like it
@@elithepitbulldog2209 so his car worth less than $700
Ibreak Promo but I bet he would like the cymbal a lot more. Yeah I pull mine out every now and then and explore it, it’s that big
i think it's around $880
Current Banter might be by now. I paid well over $700 3 years ago for mine.
Now you’ve got me headed upstairs to the drum room to play mine. 15” hats, 20, 22,24, and 26” 30ths
The way you look at the camera at 2:34 like "yeah that's right." when starting that groove was pure gold xD
it sounds so warm and good without being too bright
4:30 that control and consistency between the singles and diddles...
Great observation.
It sounds exactly the same, even though he’s switching between the two. It’s remarkable.
I've been a Zildjian man for 17 years, but this is THE finest cymbal I've EVER heard. Ever.
I never really care about what it is you’re demoing. Truly tasteful drumming. So much rhythmic diversity. Your right hand seems to have a mind of its own with those ride patterns man. I learn a new one with each video
You know those weird videos of people eating oversized seafood? This is the drums version of that
This is fine dining
That's probably one of the most gorgeous cymbals ever made. Wow.
I don't even play drums, yet I'm totally mesmerized here. I'm a Rock guitar player, drooling over this guy's silky smooth playing. Holy crap, man.
Oh my god, it sounds so much nicer than expected.
I was expecting so many over bearing overtones but it actually has a really beautiful balance and crashes perfectly!
Would love to play this cymbal one day
You know, I'm no professional here, but the whole damn thing sounds good.
Holy mother of god that was some smoooooooth playin
Damn, is this the best cymbal demo I've ever seen? Subbed.
That's a great cymbal, some great drum sounds and some great playing, Sir. That is one class act!
I've got a 26" Agop signature and I just love it to bits.
Beautiful!!! Puts me to sleep... but in a good motherly nurturing way. Like I know everything’s going to be alright worry free mind at ease.
Damn bro! Those jazz and funk beats are so smooth they cured my hangover headache. Love the sound of the kick.
My God, what you can do with almost nothing! I’ve been playing for 45 yrs.-I wish I could play like you. The smooth feel and touch is unreal! BTW, the cymbals are beautiful.
I own the Istanbul Agop 24” Joey Waronker ride and I love this 26” Agop just as much. It’s beautiful.

Lovely playing. And that cymbal is a thing of beauty.
Fantastic feeling, love the Jazz grooves!
Great playing, feel, and tuning, as always. But the things that just gets me is how well you mic and mix your set. It makes me doubly angry whenever you make a video; because I know I have to watch from beginning to end and that hardly anyone records drums as fantastic as you.
true words.
outstanding
I run to my practice kit after ever video
His playing is what makes the recording sound good. Every hit is hit with the optimal angle and velocity and to the optimal spot. And his playing is interesting, that also makes you feel the recording is good. Of course the earthworks mics are really good, but it's just a small piece of the puzzle.
his kick drum has a lot of sustain and it kind of fills the roll of a bass it's really cool
Wow man. Probably the most beautiful cymbal i’ve ever heard. Fantastic playing too of course.
This was like going to a Mexican restaurant for my ears.
I’ve got a Meinl 26 that I really enjoy playing because it’s a great ride and crash, and I love the wobble of this large cymbal. It’s the only Meinl I have among mostly Agop’s. I really like the 26” that you’re playing! Thanks for another great video Carter!
I could watch you play all day man. You have such a clean, distinct style and your single stroke rolls are insane
This guy and Steve Lyman......amazing. Both "Istanbul" artists. Bravo "Istanbul"!
this is one of the most versatile rides I've ever seen oh my god
My ears are in heaven: these ride, hi hats, snare, floor tom are amazing, kudos for drummer too.
That’s it I want a 30” ride. You know what?! Give me a gong and drill a hole in the center. Any old gong will do. Hahaha
Jokes aside I love your playing sir. You’re an inspiration for me.
Keep kicking ass.
✌🏻❤️💪🏻
just pure drumming. no bs. nothing but drums. i couldn't be happier.
thanks dude!
Wonderful playing, great feel and dynamics. Great cymbal to accompany the playing style
Loved the Cymbal!!! Loved the playing! Thanks for both!
Holy shit, that is the best sounding ride cymbal I've ever heard.
It's a great sounding cymbal
Amazing cymbal, amazing drummer. Just wow.
That’s one hell of a ride cymbal... Amazing playing like always! 🙏🥃
I looooove that crash sound. What a sick ride.
Whenever I want to be reminded of what the ideal ride sound is, I come back to this video.
Awesome playing! Wonderful cymbals!
This is one of those cymbals that makes you a better drummer. Its like you dont want to disappoint the cymbal.
What a beautifull piece of bronce
Those snare rolls are so clean
how you play that actual little melody on 03:53 is crazy from you and insane from that cymbal.
I'm a guitar player, so I don't know squat about drums / cymbals. Sounds good to me. But man, kudos to the engineer. Best sounding drums I've ever heard on a TH-cam video.
Every time I watch your video I have to run up to the drum room and play
I own 30th annys myself
15 hats 19,20,22,24,and 26
I love em...
Just a beast yet very musical ride!
PERFECT DRUMMER.
Beautiful Ride for such a large size!!! Love the definition & spread!! Very inspiring sound that makes you play a certain way!!!
2:25 definitely the best transition from swing to even tempo I've probably ever heard. Transitions usually get lost in the mud for me playing and listening. So sick to hear you throw that down, even you seemed surprised in a way!!!
So beautiful sounding musical instrument (especially "ride cymbal" is so killin') and very nice playing (great ideas and grooves)👍🙏
Beautiful sounding playing and drumset! Really peaceful to listen to
That thing is CRAZY
The most beautiful cymbal i've ever seen
Equipment is nothing without technique, and technique is nothing without taste. Damn, Carter has it all.
Très bon matos, très bon batteur.
The crazy thing to me besides this being a dumb nice cymbal, Is that your playing, from beginning to end, sounds like a well-written piece of classical music. Bravo, complete with dynamics, feels, and movements and a large climatic ending! Props, keep killin! I admire your musicality.
amazing drummer
This is beautiful, both the cymbal and the playing. It was a joy to listen to. :)
Absolutely killing it!! That bell and wash is stunning
I recognized the Scofield groove at 4:47. My 24” Agop SE Jazz sounds and crashes like a close relative to the 26” here and not at all like my 22” SE Jazz ride. Agops are all beautiful cymbals!
Nice articulate ride! Good all around dry with a washy crash and semi short decay. I like it
its almost 1:00 am right now, but watching you play its making me sit on the kit.... Amazing dynamics ...
Everything about this sounds fantastic.
I think i found a new lefthandmaster !! This is absolutly high level playing!! And that sound...... !!!!
Mr. Mclean might have the best uptempo swing I’ve ever heard, plus all the killer tones.
brilliant playing, wow
That sure warmed up that cold day in February 2020......... So good that I'm a repeat here!
Nice snar
Nice spelling
Not too dry at first glance. It's full of overtones which are pleasant to my ear. Great playing, mate!
Cheers from Poland!
Bartosz Lasota I’m Polish and I knew a Lasota in East Chicago when I was a kid! Greetings Brac’!

Bravo. Carter you are an inspiration.
2:30 his face is like *i don't give a fuck that this is a '26 ride demo video, i play tf i want
This is great btw

Damn! that sounds fantastic
WOW, you are one of my favourite drum player on TH-cam expecially for your sound.
Cleanest doubles in the game!
That is a HUGE ride... reminds me of one of Erskine's on an old Mitchel Forman album I have. Sounds amazing, like waves crashing on a beach.
You make such a good usage of your floor tom, if this beast was by my side i would be hitting it every two beats ah ah. Really liked the cymbal too.
Goosebumps on that sound man
Have to add a second quick note. Many Commenters have rightfully said how good Carter is. I agree. I get the vibe of Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix. So fluid and smooth.
Holy schmow! The way it moves is crasy. Like it!
I love this. Amazing sound ride and kit! Not to mention amazing playing! Your playing gave me some Keith Carlock vibes from 1:05-1:50.
Beautiful, as usual Maestro
Are you playing “over big top” by John Scofield at 4:46?
Samuel Winter 😉
Thought the same thing
Cool symbol... GREAT playing!
Excellent drumming...quite enjoyable.
Worlds greatest drummer

Carter tiene todo a lo que aspiro desde hace mas de 35 años
Amazing drummer!

That is a beauty ♥️Thank you for solo concert
