Most likely to deaden sound the tape stops the cymbal from ringing so the sound is more long then wash. Old timers also used a rag or cloth on them or even chopping a notch shaped like a v on them.

What an Amazing story on the drums!

I think the tape was used to hold the coins on the cymbals for a sizzle sound when playing ballads and just to have sustain under the stick sound. It may also be used to dampen the cymbal sound some. That's my guess. I hope that helps. Thanks!

@@DrumsetArtistry I had an uncle who played with prima he started me with my first drum set an old yellowed white mother of pearl wfl the only cymbal he had was this small zildjian that had a notch cut out on it. He told me that the old timers did this to muffle the cymbal and cut resonance or used gap tape. If they wanted sizzle and couldn’t afford rivets they used thin chain draped over bell. Later on in drum history a company made aluminum frame that attached to the threaded screw post on cymbal stand with arms that could lift the attached rivets off or on the cymbal. I still have a bent up one. He also used the floor Tom as an ash tray to hold his cigs. The calf skin had burn holes on it when I got the drum. I still have that drum retrofitted with remo head. More modern jazz drummers learn how to play lightly or use a flat ride that won’t cut through the band too much or switch to a ping ride. Older drums like my Rogers have a built in muffler Ludwig and others did too. If you’re really into small band jazz check out jeff Hamilton who can play as light as a feather or blast away. Playing lightly is as much a skill as any other method of drumming. The only way I can do it is with really light sticks. Even then I get carried away with the music and eventually someone tells me to play softer. Lots of jazz drummers use all kinds of techniques that aren’t flashy or has a wow factor but if you really watch and hear what they do it’s amazing. Garry knows all about jeff but lots of folks on her may not. Check out his recordings live with Dianna Krall or with bassist ray brown for some insanely good tasteful drumming and bass

@@larrymarcus3176 I still have one of those rivet attacments for a ride cymbal. Great memories using that a long time ago. Playing soft requires I high leve of technique and experience. I studied with Jeff Hamilton and he even wrote the Forward to my book, Drummer's Guide to Big Band. Thank for sharing, Larry!
