K Zildjian 20" Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride x2
I have two 20” K Zildjian Pre-Age Dry Light Rides, from different years, and (surprise!) they sound different.
The 20” K Zildjian Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride has long been my favorite cymbal. I bought my first one new around 1993 and used it quite a bit for jazz and rock gigs, especially gigs that were in lower-volume environments. It has a little bit of stick definition, a beautiful wash, dark-ish crash, and clangy bell.
For years, I had a piece of tape on the underside, which made it a little more defined and a little less washy.
A few years ago, I saw a tiny crack it in, so I had a chunk removed. Still sounds great, though I was a bit sad that the only cymbal I’ve ever cracked happened to be...

Comparing 3 Zildjian dry ride cymbals - Uptown Ride, K Custom Dry Ride, FX Raw Crash
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
Let's compare a few "dry" Zildjian rides. I bought the Zildjian FX Raw Crash a few years ago, and I love it. I know some people think it's overpriced for a cymbal that's not fully formed. But I think it looks and sounds awesome. I mainly use it for a ride that I can crash. And I only use it once in a while. Recently I decided to try out a few other dry rides-rides that have a ton of definition ...

Hi hat shoot-out: 14" A Zildjian New Beats vs. 14" K Zildjian hi hats
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 месяца назад
How does a pair of 45-year-old A Zildjian New Beat hi hats compare with a much newer pair of K Zildjian hi hats? I’ve had the same 14” A Zildjian New Beat hi hats since about 1980 or 1981. I’ve used them to play everything from rock, pop, and folk to jazz and even musical theater. To me, these hi hats are what hi hats sound like. But over the last 20 years or so I’ve mostly transitioned to K Zi...
Turn your toms into concert toms (Or maybe don't)
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 месяца назад
The TLDR: I tried to temporarily convert my double-headed toms into concert toms. But it didn't sound good to my ears. Using different heads and tuning even higher probably would have improved the results. The longer story... Back in the '70s and early '80s, I wanted a drum set with concert toms. It seemed like lots of famous drummers I liked used them: Peter Criss, Keith Moon (in the '70s anyw...
K Zildjian ride cymbal comparison-all cymbals, no drums

I've done a few other Zildjian ride comparison videos, like this one (ruclips.net/video/fDy-98XmAaw/видео.html), where I'm playing the cymbals along with my drums. But I wanted to record my rides without the drums just for fun, and I thought I'd share the video. Here's a rundown of what you're seeing: 21" K Zildjian Sweet Ride (0:03) I bought this in 2023.

DW Soundworks plug-in: Quick audio review using Alternate Mode HybriKIT

As you might have heard, DW (recently acquired by Roland) launched new hybrid, convertible electronic drum kits with real acoustic shells and built-in triggers....and a cool wireless system. This new series is called DWe. To provide sounds for these kits, they also built a plug-in: DW Soundworks. The good news is that you can buy the plug-in without buying a whole kit, which are incredibly expe...
Remo Rototoms with Fiberskyn drumheads? Let's try it.
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.7 месяцев назад
A little while back I did a video comparing different heads on Remo Rototoms (ruclips.net/video/CHpIw_CQoJI/видео.html). Recently one of you asked if I had ever tried faux calfskin heads on them, and I hadn't. But I often use Remo Ambassador Fiberskyn heads on my toms, so I thought I'd try those on my Rotos. The verdict? Well, have a listen. 0:00 Main video 2:39 Overhead mics only (briefly) 3:4...

A few years ago, I assembled a video comparing six different 20" K Zildjian rides (ruclips.net/video/1zWtOGWRVwo/видео.html). Since then, I sold one…and acquired several others. So here is an updated video with nine cymbals. All of the cymbals but one are K Zildjian rides. All but two are 20 inches.

What is this mystery K Zildjian cymbal?
Просмотров 441Год назад
I bought this 20" K Zildjian ride cymbal from someone on Reverb last week in part because I was intrigued. It doesn't have the stamp that tells you what model it is. (Maybe it was polished off.) From the pictures, I thought maybe it was a Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride, because the hammering looked a bit like my Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride. But now that I have it home, I'm not sure. Here's what I know: -I...
Electronic drumming with drumKAT, DW pancake gong drum, and djembe
Просмотров 321Год назад
I have a 20-inch DW pancake gong drum, which I really enjoy. I was wishing I had several of them, so I could tune to different pitches. But of course, where would I put them all? Anyway, I decided to sample mine at different pitches (sample, retune, sample, etc.) using sticks, rods, and brushes-at a variety of velocities, of course. Now I can play multiple pancake drums on my drumKAT. For the "...
Hybrid drumming: electronic drums + acoustic cymbals
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
Back in the '80s, when electronic drums were all the rage, drummers often played hybrid kits: Some had acoustic kicks, others had acoustic snares, and most had acoustic cymbals. Today, high-quality drum sampling, plus sophisticated software instruments, means that you can incorporate believable kicks, snares, and cymbals if you want to go full-on electronic. I occasionally like to set up my Tam...
Zildjian FX Raw Crash (Large Bell) - Quick Review
Просмотров 268Год назад
There are very few musical instruments left that I want to own. But when I saw these Zildjian Raw Crashes a year or so ago, I was intrigued. I love the way they look-to me, they are pieces of art. But when I heard them in person in a drum store, I wasn’t completely convinced I liked the sound, so I hesitated. Recently I decided to go for it and buy one. And as it turns out, I really like it. Th...
20" K Zildjian Ride Comparison: Constantinople Medium Thin High vs. Medium Thin Low
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.2 года назад
I bought a 20" Zildjian Constantinople Medium Thin Low ride late last year, and I like it a lot. It's dark, has a nice wash, and can sound downright trashy. Surprisingly, it also has a very nice amount of stick definition for such a lightweight (1980g) cymbal. Check out my comparison of other K Zildjian rides to see how this fits among the others: ruclips.net/video/1zWtOGWRVwo/видео.html As muc...

Wow these sound great! I may have to grab a set of rotos, I love their crystal clear pure tone!
If I had to pick one, it would be the first of the two K Cons.
Yup. It's a good one.
Again I like them favorite to least favorite in the order you played them.
I like them from favorite to least favorite in the order you played them.
I’ve got some remo roto Tom’s from the 70’s or 80’s a friend of mine found them at a landfill were he work’s and clean them up and it’s tuneable.
Great find!
If I had to chose one, it would be the K Con.
First time watching you. you have a wonderful touch! 👍
Thanks!
Good demo. The Pre-Aged and the K Constantinople would fit better in a little softer situation.
Definitely.
Can't beat the 80s and 90s Ks.
New beats have a tighter lathing which lends itself to touch more glassiness. The wider band lathed K offers a meatier stick but at a drier clip and at the expense of some tone IMHO. New Beats all day
Echoes of the drum sound on Pearl Jam’s ’W.M.A.’ Around the 2-minute mark. Love it! I use Skyntones on my regular toms, but have always fancied Roto toms after seeing Queen’s Roger Taylor use them. Would never have thought to pair them up! Great vid 👍
All sound great. Really like the coated Ambassadors
Between the vintage ambassadors and the fiberskyns, which would you say has a softer feel?
Fiberskyns. To me, Vintage Ambassadors are somewhere in between the standard Ambassadors and Fiberskyns in terms of the feel and tone.
@schmargle that's about what I thought it would be. I have a 14" fiberskyn I tried on my snare. I didn't like it for that (I think Diplomat Fiberskyn would be better for me) but I'm looking to order a 12" Amb. Fiberskyn and put them on my toms. Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm here for it
Would’ve liked more samples of different ride patterns instead of rolls.
I have a bit more of that on this other video: ruclips.net/video/fDy-98XmAaw/видео.html
Harvey Mason sticks ?
These are Dave Weckl sticks from Vic Firth.
@@gregthomas1763 Ok lighter so ..
@@pascalbasile3377 I did do another comparison (nearly all the same cymbal) with some 5Bs if that helps. ruclips.net/video/4DxAlfm4vWA/видео.html
Great video, I prefer the 93 sound. Nice drumming too
K sounds more articulate and has a much faster decay. The new beats sound like they produce a wall of sound that’s a lot more washy sounding. Both sound great but for different styles
Agreed. I had thought it was going to be the opposite-that the K's would be more washy. But I guess it just depends on which K's you use.
Cool man
I like them all, except for the K Con...
It's definitely not for everyone.
Clear Pinstripes for me.
K sweet ride 21 es el tipo !
that newer 20” k ride is 🔥
As always,I vote for the Black-Dots!!!
They’re classic Rototoms!
Glad to see I’m not the only one. I have two of those. The 90s heavy and the k con med thin low. Such great cymbals. One of those two are on my kit 90% of the time. I occasionally bring out a K sweet as well.
Ride cymbals are addictive. Seems like you’ve covered a lot of ground with those three.
@@schmargle yeah I actually just sold a few because I want to round out my hats collection. I really want to get the pre aged dry hats and ride and a set of 15” kerope hats
What are the weights of these rides?
The K Crash Ride: 2072g; K Ride: 2540g; K Jazz Ride: 2152g
I have this and I love playing it for larger venues with my 18" K Dark Thin Crash. For smaller venues, I use my 20" K Custom Dark Ride and 18" K Custom Dark Crash which are wonderful for lower, softer volumes. I've tried other brands but I always came back to Zildjian. I've been playing them since 1965 and they've always had something for everyone.
Those are nice combinations!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrific vid and audio! Makes me want to run out and buy roto toms today! Oh and they all sounded great but my favorite (and most familiar sound) were the pinstripes. But I'm an Evans fan 100% so when I get some rotos, I'm going to try the EC2's
I I just added 3 roto toms to my Mapex kit. I always liked them. I like em better with clear heads though.
its good to compare zildjian 20 K rides today have more wash than 10 years back ,i love my 20 so i got a 22 and wasnt happy ,to much wash ,so now i just ordered a 22 zildjian dark medium which i owned before and liked but i just know when i get it and put it next to my 22 regular K AND 21 SWEET RIDE its gonna be close .IF it is i ll send it back and just get a Sabian groove ride or something ,always on the hunt
Very nice "organic" sound with those heads, a lot less bright than the clearer heads.
Nice! I use my medium low as a crash over my ride with 18'' K Dark Custom crash as main. Perfect tonally together.
Love it.
1 k const med-low 2 k sweet ride 3 k jazz ride
nice playing!
Thank you!
Nice sounding toms. I’m curious what pitch/notes you are tuning too.
I tune to 4ths. D (14"), G (12"), C (10"). The tops and bottoms are the same note. When I'm tuning the top head, the bottom head is muted, and vice versa. When I mount them (because of the miracle of physics!), the pitches actually sound a little bit lower, but it's the relative pitches that are really most important to me.
@@schmargle I thought I was hearing “Hear Comes the Bride” ;) Thanks.
@@MykWazowski 😂 Exactly!
Are you pitching the resonant head the same note as the batter?
Yes.
I'm on my honeymoon with my K Heavy ride. Good ping and crashworthy.
Most of them are too resonant for me, like they’re almost whistling with an icepick attack. The pre aged dry has a little more ‘spread’ in the high end which sounds way better imho
Yeah, I love that one.
The classic K ride 20" is the most legendary and beautiful sounding ride that goes in any genre of music, from light to heavy styles. Amazing balance between stick definition vs wash, and the bell is very clear and has a strong cut 🤟
Please do some 22"s and 24's.
I’d have to buy some! …Or maybe I could rent them.🤔
I love my sweet K set But Sabians HHX complex line has surpassed any of the K line.Especially Sabians Artisan ride .Zildjian has messed with the original formula to the point I no longer can even tolerate especially the regular Avedis .love your cymbals tho. You have some real winners
I've heard some great things about the Sabian Artisan series-I'll have to check them out!
Nice sense of composition by the drummer.
The K zildjian 20 ride hits the spot
That’s why I love Zildjian. They have a right Cymbal for every single drummer… Nice vid dude! Keep doing this content! 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Less washing at the laundromat
😂
Is that Ambassador or Diplomat?
Ambassador.
Best sounding roto tom heads I've heard. NICE!
Of the 3 I like the Jazz and the Ride. Try some 602s!!!
Paiste?! Sacrilege!
Excelente o seu video ! Poderia dizer qual a finalidade do uso do algodão? Obrigado.
The idea was to keep the hardware from rattling. But taping them worked better. (A ideia era evitar que o hardware chacoalhasse. Mas gravá-los funcionou melhor.)
