Such a creative musician, who will be sadly missed. Dave, RIP

By the way: this guy was the teacher of ...................... Gavin Harrison !

What a legend! Anything would sound awesome when played by this man

That could be the most impeccably played simple groove I've ever heard. Some people just got it.

Great wisdom Dave and such sympathetic and inspirational playing - an absolute education. Thank you so much. For me, a great devotee of the swish and pang, 1 Barrett Deems, 2 Bosphorus and 3 Zildjian.

I bought the Zildjian Swish Knocker about 2004 on order from the US. The guys in the store played it before I went in and I had four offers to sell before I had paid the remaining balance on the cymbal! Another casual shopper offered to buy it off me in the store before I left. They all thought it was a crash cymbal. Should have seen their faces when I demonstrated how to play it as a ride, its intended purpose! I still have it; and it's still causing jaws to drop today. Get yourselves one, and yes, play lightly to fizz up the rivets. Joy!

Beautiful drumming. I learned a lot from this. Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Dave.

as much as i dislike Swish cymbals you make them sound awesome, and you have the groove of a master.

Excellent. Great info on these fabulous Chinas. Terrific player indeed!

Best demonstration by someone who knows what he's talking about.

Well played and explained, however, I will say that China cymbals of all sizes are excellent effects cymbals for both rock and metal (and extreme metal in particular) drummers and music. And they are hit very hard! Yes, there are China cymbals by various companies that are more jazz specific and are not made to be hit hard, on a consistent basis. I remember the first time I realized what one was when with Neil Peart (RIP). When he still endorsed Zildjian, he used a swish and Wuhan China (that Zildjian probably just overlooked since you know he WAS NP!). I remember hearing him playing songs and hitting them and it caught me. I had a 16" Wuhan in the 90s and I LOVED that cymbal! I got a great sound out of it. Regardless, though, very much loved Mr. Cutler's tasteful playing and explanation.

That Barrett deems cymbal has a universe of sounds in it... completely beautiful

that bosphorus swish is awesome

Nice feeling! Good playing! ...swish is like a thin ride with trashy sound and many "reverb" ...love thay!

I am surprised.. I am a Zildjian guy but that Bosphorus Cymbal blows my mind.. Thank you for this :)

I haven't seen that particular Latin groove before. I'm adding that one to my repertoire- nice. I like this guy and like his playing very much

Really nice demonstration!

Barrett's cymbal is the runaway favorite, but I do love the Bosphorus, as well. Beautiful sounds, both.

Just added this cymbal demo to my “grooves I need to learn” list.

the first one to his far out with my favorite sound. Where can I find one like this?

Lovely playing Dave

Really great playing!

dude slays

Great approach.. Keep it simple and get grrat sounding gear!

They all sounded pretty good. Imagine like he said they'll only sound good if you play them lightly. His grooves there were actually pretty good even though they were simple.

I liked the bosphorus one most

I like all THREE!

Very cool!

fantastic simplistic playing. Great feel! I must practice not playing.

I love 'em.

Latin beat reminds me of the mambo in the honeymooners.

Bosphorus done it for me, cheers mate

I got a 20" vintage A 'Pang' w/ rivets. ( I'm gonna say mid '70's at the youngest). I use it in a very loud, heavy music situation. I'll tell ya what? It just KICKS ASS!! All the 'Cawhhh' and 'Psshhh' one could hope for. Great attack. Dry and Icy. Just at home in a Metal group or a Jazz Trio, whatever.

So a swish cymbal is basically a sizzle made from a china?

Nice !!

that’s a big boy

What is the first one?

The bosphorus is the best, the vintage one seconds and i dont like the zildjian of the middle. sounds very similar to a stagg china.

What's that swish next to the floor tome

Love the playing but... I'm suprised at the breathing. He seems out of breath while he's sitting down. That's not good

"Still" your groove, lol?

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah

Swish is a pang with rivets.......

bosphorus 👍👍

very creative playing i9 love it.. Too much talk.. More play please...

Bosphorus.

Paiste masters swish the best!

Am I the only person who liked the Zildjian?

Your chinas are upside down bro

are all drummers deaf these days all cymbals sound like garbage can lids

You are not supposed to use China's in jazz. Don't ever use China's in jazz only in metal music.
