    The older Jojo gets, the more he sounds like Christopher Walken.

    Here's a tip: When you spend time in your local drum shop trying out cymbals, buy the cymbal from that shop.

    some things i knew, some new tips that seem very useful (e.g. closing one ear and listening with the opposite side from which you are playing). it seems this may be how microphones would pick them up in certain configurations. remarkably well presented considering English is not his native tongue. thanks Sabian and Jojo.

    Jojo Mayer has the body of a 17 year old boy as a 60 (?) year old. How he has accomplished this is nothing short of extraordinary. Probably 55 years of drumming every day.

    Some thoughts. Playing cymbals in a music store is always a great experience, although often times there are kids (big and little) in the cymbal room just hitting them because they can. I often buy used equipment, so its hard to really go through the tryout period; thank goodness for CZcams, often I can find someone trying out what it is I am interested in. JJM's comments on stands is true, I'll go one step further: I have yet to find felts that I am satisfied with! Buying used equipment is a WAG, but I have been lucky to have bought instruments that have pleasantly surprised me. Lastly, these Anthology cymbals remind me of Paiste 2oo2's or perhaps something from the Paiste Traditionals family. Bright glassy sound is more in line with the style of music I play.

  • @jbbbboy
    @jbbbboy Před 2 lety

    I always differentiate between the cymbal sounding dry or wet. However, I don’t think that explanation works on the bell. Cool video nonetheless.
