Jim Gordon has Passed On...


He was never released from custody after murdering his mother. He'll be remembered best for being the drummer with Derek and the Dominos, but he played with the Byrds, Beach Boys and others. I know that you're wearing black today @bdp24. Sad ending.

That sounds right, with Jim using Avedis most likely. 
 

I have some vintage K Zildjians (the old Turkish ones) and a bunch old A’s (50s to 60s). I have a sweet 20” old K with a few rivets that sounds like Elvin. I have a 22” around 2400 grams. I’ve used the 20” more as a rivet crash-ride. The 22 is costly so I tend to be reluctant to bring it out as much. I have some 15” old K hats which are cool, and the top cymbal is slightly undersized. 
 

But when I play jazz, I actually use a different set. I use a thin 24” old A, a 22” Spizzichino and a K Con Zildjian. 

 

Yeah, old K's cost serious money. The good thing about buying one unheard is that you can always sell it for what you paid. We should make a list of good sounding recorded drums and cymbals. I'm gonna be thinking about that.
