Over my 23+ years as a professional drummer I've learned that bigger cymbals sound so much better both live and in the studio compared to smaller cymbals. I learned that the smaller and brighter the cymbal is, the more it sits above the "mix" and is harder for the sound engineer to mix. Larger cymbals tend to be darker and sit in the "mix" vs their smaller siblings and are easier to mix and physically control.

yes, i agree-bigger cymbals are where it's at. never mess with any crash smaller than a 18inch-avoid big thick loud projection crashes,unless you got the touch and work them,great video and love your approach.
This is really such a great explanation of cymbals that I've never seen anyone explain before. It's nice to have someone break it down in such an understandable way.. Good job on this video brother.
Just to put a physics slant on this, you have a theoretical limit to how much kinetic energy you can whack into a piece of brass. The bigger the cymbal, the more mass to absorb said kinetic energy, which then gets released as sound. The bigger the cymbal, the more evenly it releases the energy, vs smaller cymbals that have less mass, radiate the energy more quickly and are given to over-"saturation" which makes the cymbal sound like it's choking, which Mendiesel goes into around
You can go small with big, but you can't go big with small.
I loved it man! I’m glad I found your channel!
Very interesting story Brian 😎
Couldn’t agree more
Preach!
matt garstkas cymbals are a little too dry for my taste. great drummer though
🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Great minds think alike. Whenever I cashed my golden fried chicken weekly paycheck, I hustled my ass down to Tommy's, sat in his cymbal room, and knocked the shit out of everything for a few hours until I was satisfied. Or, I would just steal one from the band hall.
Love your onesty
Hahaha. 16" crashes are splashes.
This dude seriously started his intro opening 3 minutes in? Lmao
