"that shield sounds pretty good . . . let's play some jazz"

OMG. Wow! The video every drummer should watch!

Best video for cymbals on KZfaq

Mr. Jaime: I appreciate your knowledge and your ability to articulate it. Great job! Thank you!

Damn that dude knows hit shiot

Very informative! Wow, I never knew there were so many different types of symbols, let alone so many different tonal qualities. It's nice to know these things as I am married to a serious and talented drummer. If I may say so, he really is quite talented. My being in love with him really hasn't skewed or biased my opinion in any way. ;) Either way, he loves Dale's drum shop and keeps promising to take me there someday to see your impressive 2 story showroom, I can hardly wait!

Dont stop making videos. Thanks for this very educational lesson

WOW!!! I had no idea.... thank you very much.... this is really interesting...

I think UFIP makes the most beautiful sounding cymbals - from a Paiste Lover and a Zildjian seller

I soo appreciate this. Well done!

Brilliant video, learnt so much from this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Unbelievable usefull vídeo. I've played drums for years and had tried Zildjian and Paiste (also Sabian a bit) most of the time but I didn't know what make them different, only know how they sound and what to expect from each one. This information cleared all my doubts

This is very informative. I’ll have to check your store out soon. In the meantime, however, you got yourself a subscriber.

Holy shit! This dude should be getting royalties from this video!

Great video, very interesting explanation of the various manufacturing methods.

The shield has always been my theory of where gongs/cymbals came from. Early bronze age weapons makers came upon the fact that you could make a lot of sound with certain designs...and gong/cymbals were born!

Man, let's get you guys some subs. You just taught me some things that I can't believe I didn't know already. I've heard the whole Turkish cymbal thing, but I never really questioned it. I always just thought of cymbals as cast and sheet, more or less. Paiste cymbals are very nice. For me though, the casting process is so much sexier than stamped sheet metal. Similarly why I like cast drum parts like diecast bass drum claws versus stamped steel ones

But do they sound better than rubber cymbals during a power failure?

Brilliant. Great info. Thanks for sharing.

After watching this I had to look up ufip. The sound is so interesting to me, that they only have one tone each. It's almost unsettlingly consistent to me. My favourite style is the"swiss" method. The shimmer of paiste and meinl are sweet music to my ears

very enjoyable watching!! thanks for posting! filled w/info i've learned myself over many yr's (& money spent!) beg to differ on one point regarding italian made variety, though... can't comment on newer ink stamped UFIP's, but some older zanchie vibra's i've known aren't linear sounding at all! in fact, quite opposite & depending on HOW hit 'em. can be "complex". (love when this word used describing cymbals -but this time meaning GOOD!) they're "rich", & if you can imagine, sound dark and bright at SAME TIME!!

Excellent information thank you!

Some cool info but seems like subtle plug for UFIP to me. And seems like a dissing of the Turkish style cymbals which have been the standard for a century and continue to be the top selling cymbals

Very cool. Thanks!

Awesome video! Thanks. All the subtleties make me sad for only owning a v-drum kit.

I use a mix of Paiste Signature,2002,and Ufip for my crash cymbals..Ufips are amazing and very Musical..The roto casting gets rid of weakness in the alloy,so they say...Class Series Fast Crashes,Natural Series which are like the "K"Zildjians of the 60s and 70s...Blast Crash,and The Newer "Vibra"series....My hats are 14' and have a 2002 Sound Edge Bottom and a Signature Dark Crisp Top...2002 22" Power Ride...

Wuhans are great for the price. B20 cast bronze for less than half the price. I have Wuhan crashes and I love the sound.

Paiste: sheet bronze. Zildjian, Sabian, Turkish, Istanbul, Bosphorus, Wuhan, etc: Cast bronze. UFIP: rotocasting bronze.

“Shield sounds pretty good, let’s play some jazz.” Sounds like my kind of crazy people

I thought zildjian hammered before lathing?

Dale's Drum SHOP HARRISBURG PA. Drum Nirvana

PREACH!!!!

Good content. You might want to consider some baffle to control the echo.

Why I like Zildjian/Sabian. You can choose the sound you want...not what everyone else's sound. I at one time had 6 18 inch Zildjians that were 1 thin, 2 medium thin, 2 mediums. None sounded the same. I still choose my cymbals and it may take a hundred cymbals to find the sound I like...or just a few. But it is what I want not what everyone else plays.

Paiste = "Pie Stee"??

Paiste RUDEs. Love em.

Zildjian K.. UFIP and Wuhan are B-20 cymbals (80% copper & 20% tin w traces of silver).. Paiste 2002 are B-8 (92 copper and 8% tin). Cymbals made of the same elements.... different tones, etc have to do with hammering and lathing. B-8 cymbals with most brands represent the lower scaled cymbals. Paiste's 2002 line are used by big-named drummers.... yet, they're B=-8 cymbals. It all has to do with manufacturing... how cymbals are made. Not necessarily, about the materials.

Such an insightful video to help drummers, but you really needed to mic yourself and not the the store.

nice video

I found the wuhans to be trashy sounding. Good deal for the price.

UFIP =Expensive

Can't beat Paiste's B8's to my ear. 15 2002 SE hats, 2002 24 inch ride, Giant Beat 20 multi, 18 2002's, and than there's everything else. 602's, if you insist on B20

Zildjian is not Turkish, the Zildjian formula was invented by an Armenian not a Turk. He lived in turkey but he was Armenian.

5:19 - difficult to understand!! "There have been a number of other Italian manufacturers that, um, could still be using it / [who] can do it this way ..." ... that sounds like reasoning in support of calling it the Italian Method, instead of just the UFIP Method. An example I know of (and I'm a noob to drums) would be vintage Tosco cymbals. I know there's not a lot of info around re Tosco, and that UFIP don't seem to like talking about them/other old Italian manufacturers. Your reasoning would support the opposite of your conclusion! Are you afraid of the UFIP Mafia, or something? Lol. I'm calling it the Italian Method ...

Good job ...thanks

why showing the China cymbals backside People want to look at the playing side

Hammerax as a 5th type

Let’s play some jazz!

Go with Paiste 2002', Signatures, 602's, and ya can't go wrong! Sabian have an awful overtone to my ear (even the HH's) Zildjians aren't terrible, but they just don't have that musical tone of Paiste.

Paiste hi-hat, turkish crashes and ride, chinese china.. thats how I roll.. I have played all cymbals there is... all but the ufip´s never have.

Don’t buy at this place. Horrible customer service, and the owner Dale, never calls you back resolves any problems.

nice he kept the language clean, no bad words like camber,cb700 or worst cymbal abomination ever,sabian rocktagon!or ug! lame zildjian a custom rock crash(projection also bad omen of stages)zbt makes beginners get kicked out of bands,ruins drum tracks.meinl sounds like hubcaps german pimps put on their lowered bmw whips and cops arrest for bad taste.wuhan chinas cannot be given away to make huge party ashtrays.the ping ride haunts craigs list and is shunned,and any splash cymbal is created to identify bad taste with terrible judgement,and always a piccolo snare with triggered bass drum disease,incurable and fatal if not ignored.blast beats with chinas and cowbell seem even worse if possible.

Ufip are goddamn terrible at promoting their cymbals!! The rotocast patent is massive!! On top of that you're getting hand hammered and lathed cymbals by a company that has been doing it for 400 years!! Look how much extra Sabian charge for their hand hammered lines!! With a decent promotion team, they'd be up there with Ziljian, Sabian!!

Nothing as loud as a Wuhan China!

Yes, good video. Make another while not behind a busy cash register. And consider actually playing one. Yes, I am a hater.

I got very little from this "authority". I suggest viewing brands manufacturing videos.
