Love how this cymbal sounds for jazz genre. But is it the player or the cymbal? Great video and great demo of cymbal.
Didn't watch, but the answer is: it's both. The cymbal has fixed properties, but the player works the cymbal to explore all of its nuances.
The stick weight and tip material, and the miking play a part as well.
A jazzride will sound good when a jazzdrummer plays it. It will sound even better, if a great jazzdrummer plays it.I was more specifically asking about that cymbal it sounded great for jazz in video, but guy doing demo is a great player and it's a very professional video.
Well ..... at $362 ..... it better be a pretty darn nice sounding cymbal. But Memphis does know how to put out good video's. And they seem to have no short supply of talent, either. I rely on their site all the time, when I want to know about a certain type of cymbal. They're pretty key on a lot of my cymbal purchases. Most recently, my purchases of the Sabian Vanguard line.I was more specifically asking about that cymbal it sounded great for jazz in video, but guy doing demo is a great player and it's a very professional video.

One of the reasons I'm a nylon tip player is this. I want the stick definition to come out & I feel wood tips just don't do that for me.the answer is: both. The cymbal has fixed properties, but the player works the cymbal to explore all of its nuances.

You sorta have to have a decent cymbal to start with. I got some Camber cymbals in my garage that no matter who the player....they're plain old crap-tastic cymbals.
One of my yard cymbals ....One half of the 14" hats became a 13" Roctagon-shaped lampshade ....
I dunno. I’ve heard some some pretty crappy playing on beautiful gear ?
Love it!!One of my yard cymbals ....
