I’m convinced, I just made the order! New ride here we come!

GREAT lesson! Question: Would you use the unison exercise for comping? Or more for soloing? Thanks!

Nice, man. My dad Frank Severino would sit in for Philly. I wish I studied under my dad more.

I'm having a bit of a shell shock today because I've played jazz drums for 13 years, and it goes without saying how much I love great cymbals. Until today, when discovered funch cymabls, I did not know it was even possible to make something better than a vintage K. yet somehow he has done the impossible. I am speechless!

👍 ❣️ 🥁

PJJ solo are always good exercices ! I'm trying to do a lot as possible ! But indeed sometimes they are very fast !

Oh yeah! Love that one!

One hundred and oneth, eh? I’m stealing that.

Do you use plain a plain aquarian on the snare, or is it a batter head? And also what snare side and bottom heads do you use? I’m trying to buy supplies for my fist jazz kit and would like this sound on my drums.

Great lesson. Thank you!

I find at faster tempos it’s also okay to play them all as 32nd notes. The tempo is it just too fast to be able to play them as 32nd note triplets.

Shout out to Skip’s Music in Sacramento!

Wow - that's quite an improvement!

That bass drum is super small! It sounds like a rack tom, it should be minimum 22 x 14" Inches, perfect is 26 x 14" and the vintage is 28 x 14". For Classic jazz, it should be 22 x 14", for vintage jazz it should be 28 x 14" and for versatyle it should be 26 x 14"

I always use Heel down, i have always used that

#3 and #4 maybe #6

im aself taught drummer, i learned everything by ear, but i would like to see what im actually doing on paper

Had a thought about these kinds of ugly ducklings or "Butter cymbals"...they're the opposite of "Cutting through the mix" cymbals in that by themselves their beauty isn't obvious but when they play with a band the bad stuff melts away and they sit beautifully in the band. Hard to develop an ear/taste for that.

You really went there 😂

Same as the U2 album

This is the first time I’ve actually seen the hawk tuah clip after hearing about a lot this last week

So clean🙌🏼

How is this a college audition version?

カッコいい!!

dahhh dahhh doushhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

I've never seen a "drag" in slow motion. Very relaxed drum stick in your left hand. 🥁

calf just has so much more tone. the aquarians do about the best job it's still less tone than calf

Wow, I really like Funch cymbal. I’ve never heard of them.

What an amazing wash ❤ i totally luv it 🔥🥁

porca trota che bravo

10 years later, I’m still watching this video from time to time, like what I did in high school.

My 19.25" K Istanbul has a small hole but I have an old Tama stand stand that works well. It's not the greatest sounding cymbal ever but it has personality. Spizzochino would have loved it.

I just picked up a K Con high bell dry because of this conversation. Can’t wait to play it. Thanks!

I'm friends with Jonathan. He is an absolute sweetheart. I first met him over 20+ years ago. He plays with a close friend of mine, Nat Janoff, who is an incredible guitar player and musician.

I like the replica 20 inch the most!

Nice clip Tim. I grew up listening to Bonham, Baker, Moon, etc...all the guys who were adapting to having to compete with electric guitar volume. In fact, just to hear the bass drum over the snare and cymbals, many drummers instinctively raised the leg and slammed the beater (buried) it into the head. Heel down is ergonomically superior for balance, no doubt and probably a better way to play if volume can be achieved. What about the natural quick fatigue of those anterior shin muscles when relying solely on the ankle with heel down? Any suggestions on that? Do you find that they can be strengthened/conditioned? Thanks for the clip!

I want to learn jazz drums but I have considered online lessons but I learn best in person.Ive been trying to find jazz drum teachers near me and can’t find any, I’m still on the search what should I do?

For me it depends on the gig, the cymbals I brought to the gig and the room. Is there a p.a? How loud is the band playing. I recently was the house drummer for a jazz jam, but the group was amplified. (In my opinion, a little bit too loud for the type of music, but not too loud for the type of venue) After hearing other drummers sitting in, I realised the ride cymbals ( early 2000nds K contantinople) and a 50s vintage A ride had zero definition. Using a heavier nylon tip 5B helped the stick definition cut a little more, but in reality heavier cymbals would have been better suited to this situation or the drums should have had an overhead mic, seeing as the piano and bass were being put through a pa.

you get what you pay for K. Zildjian Istanbul 20" Old Stamp Type IIa wheelchair larry

What a teeny tiny world. Not sure how i wound up here, besides briefly viewing Tim Roberts mod on this cymbal…..anyways, I found It amusing that I purchased that first 39.99 “cast” cymbal you were checking out in beginning of this video…..was back in Sept….I was eyeing the hammering …….it is a Wuhan Heavy Ride…..damb Far Eastern Ks

I have played for a long time heel up and I'm using the slide double stroke technique, but now I'm starting to use heel down also because I find it better playing quietly and relaxed with good control. So I find myself using some sort of hybrid technique when playing jazz

Hi Tim, I can't access any PDFs. It just gives me a blank page.

thank yew kind sir

Sweet! While you’re at it, could you make a short video explaining how you manage to bury the beater with the bass drum tuned so high? Even though I tune mine a tad lower, try as I might, I can’t keep the beater from bouncing off the head and creating sort of an unintentional (very fast) diddle. (Along with the associated pitch bend, this creates an interesting effect, but that’s not what I’m going for.)

Thanks for the great fill!

I love it

Nice!

Tim your jazz videos are amazing, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!! Sorry to ask a gear question here… but what is that hi hat clutch you’re using? Thanks again

If a fill lasts for 5 minutes, I think its safe to say that its not a fill.
