    I don't play drums, likely never will. But this woman has taught me more about a subject I'd had no interest in than I can possibly explain. A wonderful teacher.

    Not only THE best technical content on line for drummers but also THE most entertaining ones, as well. :)

    • @Iamadrummer

      It is not good technical content. If you watch a lot of drummers, their cymbals are at all kinds of angles and hights. It is up to the preference of the drummer and what makes it more comfortable and agronomic for them to play.

    Remember to do a swooping motion when you are hitting your crash cymbals. You're not trying to drive your stick through the cymbal. Unless you want to replace it soon.

    I usually have my ride at quite a steep angle, just makes it most comfy for me

    Another thing to add for crashes and splashes is the swipe the Cymbals, instead of hitting directly into it. I have playing for 58 years and never Cracked a Cymbal in my whole career. Happy Drumming! 😃

    Funny how I asked my drum teacher this same thing yesterday. Glad to see his explanation (mostly) corroborated!

    • @Iamadrummer
      @Iamadrummer 19 днів тому

      Cymbal angles and hights are up to the individual drummer and what feels most comfortable for them to play. Her explanation is the "traditional" way to set them up, but if you watch a lot of drummers and notice their setups, 99.9% of them do not follow her explanation as they place their cymbals at angles and hights that feel best for them to play. Also, non rock drummers do crash on the ride cymbal all the time, especially in funk and jazz, not just rock. I would experiment with your cymbal placement, hights, and angles to find out what works best for you and is most comfortable for you to play. There really is no "right" way to set up a drum kit. There is the traditional way, but most drummers do not follow that and set their kit up so it suits their playing needs, style, and comfort.

    You can accent the ride on the edge kind of like a lighter crash sound for jazz too

    • @Iamadrummer
      @Iamadrummer 19 днів тому

      Jazz drummers generally use every part of their cymbals, including crashing the ride.

      Mine doesn't, but I changed the angles anyway for when I'll be playing with real metal

  • @marcioeduardo4187
    @marcioeduardo4187 Місяць тому

    When im using the same crash multiple times, and I want to control it better, I hit the crash in an almost perpendicular angle, it sounds good and it doesn't shake too much

  • @Iamadrummer

    Your explanation of the angle your cymbals should be at and why is a good starting point for a beginning drummer. If you actually watch a lot of drummers, you will notice that drummers will have their cymbals at all kinds of different hights and angles. It all boils down to personal preference and what feels comfortable for the individual drummer to play. Also, you mention you do not generally crash a ride cymbal unless playing rock music. If you watch a lot of videos of drummers, 99% of them do crash on the ride cymbal even though they are not playing rock music. If you watch the old-time jazz drummers, they regularly crash on the ride cymbal. I mostly play funk, jazz, and fusion music, and I crash on my ride all the time. Also, my crash cymbals are slightly angled down, so not only can I crash the edge, but I can ride the middle part with the tip of the stick. Also, angling the cymbals a little makes hitting the bell of the cymbal easier. Your ride cymbal is positioned in the traditional area of the drum kit, and I do not do that. Where most would place their ride cymbal, I have a crash, and where a second crash is traditionally placed near the floor tom is where I have my ride cymbal as it is a hell of a lot more comfortable and more agranomic for me to play that way. Unfortunately, your explanation is a little wrong, but as I mentioned, it is a good starting place for the beginning drummer. My advice for drummers is to experiment with their cymbals in different hights and angles as well as placement to find out what is best, easiest, and most agrnomic to play. This differs from drummer to drummer, unfortunately throwing your explanation out the window.

    I crash my ride because I currently don't have a second crash, and it's also more comfortable. However, it's very loud. So, to all you who want to do that, take her advise to only do it in rock and metal genres

    • @Iamadrummer
      @Iamadrummer 19 днів тому

      As a jazz drummer, I crash the ride all the time as most jazz and non rock drummers do. If your ride is loud to crash on, you need to learn dynamics and to crash it softly.

  • @staciepaul
    @staciepaul Місяць тому

    Flat crash cymbals = broken cymbals. Give them some angle and make sure your wingnut and pads are loose.

    • @Iamadrummer
      @Iamadrummer 19 днів тому

      Her video would be more awesome if she really knew how to set up cymbals to suit the individual drummer rather than explain the "traditional" way of setting them up that most drummers, including me do not follow. It is up to the individual drummer to angle or not angle their cymbals to suit what is most comfortable for them to play. Also, non rock drummers do crash on the ride all the time.

    Hitting cymbals on the edge will eventually cause them to crack simple physics
