22" Saluda Diamond Medium Ride (before sweetening)

[jklathem]

@kuebert The cymbal is being recorded using a digital camera that compresses the sound, followed by video editing software that again compresses the sound, and then YouTube compresses everything.

Have you actually ever head a Saluda Cymbal in person?

[kuebert]

nope never heard one in person.....just from youtube....

@kuebert This cymbal actually sounds WAY better than how it does in this video. It sounds way too harsh and washy in this video. It is actually less washy and has better stick definition than in this video. It has an enormous crash sound as well. I'd love to record this cymbal (and all of my cymbals) using microphones, but I just haven't done that yet.
