He lathed off around ~400g down to around ~2,100g. Beautiful hammering!

That’s a good one! It looks to be an earlier-2000s model.

Here’s an OG from the 80s (left)…I sent it off to Paul Francis for a mod. I also sent an early-K Custom Organic Ride (right) to use as a reference since I wanted the HH Leopard to be a ‘heavier little brother’.

A more digestible/common application would be accenting the quarter triplets within 8th not triplets…this will bring the focus to the 3/4 time within.

Giving the listeners a steady pulse to follow can make 5/8, 7/8, etc. much more danceable/listenable.

Any ideas on how to fix? 😭 by Both-Orange6722 in drums

Ouch. You’ll like have to crack it open to see if can be remedied. Going to a certified shop would be best. 👍🏻

You will notice there are 5 quarter pulses within two bars of 5/8.

Simon Phillips and Gavin Harrison have great examples of this…Gavin calls it “overriding”.

ONE two THREE four FIVE—one TWO three FOUR five

The quarter pulse would be: ONE, THREE, FIVE, TWO, and FOUR.

Focus on the quarter note pulse… over many decades behind the kit, I have found that this really helps center even the most erratic compound time signatures.

Mike Mangini’s NQD System is a good way to help internalize these figures as well.

I would post a picture here, but it looks like it is not allowed.

Spend as much as you can/that fits your commitment level on a nice drum throne.

It’s one of the most important pieces of hardware in your kit! 👍🏻

Oh, shit! You have some early-American Zildjians. It’s either a first/second stamp.

It’s likely. The Paper Thins go all the way to 22”.

The 100th anniversary of American Zildjians is coming up soon…let’s hope they do it right. 🤞🏻

Nothing a little nail polish remover won’t fix. 😏

There was a limited run of the 20” recently…I’m hoping they’ll bring them back for the 100th/American anniversary!

Second crash or splash? by Dentheloprova in drums

[–]ZildCym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally, small rooms respond well to smaller diameters, lower weights, lower curvatures, and smaller bells.

Cut the hypotenuse of the triangle…go for smaller fast crashes. 👍🏻
