Here’s something that was inspired by Elvin Jones, my favorite drummer. I don’t claim to come anywhere close to making as musical statement on drums as he, I’m just a beginner drummer who loves JAZZ DRUMS!!! Ever since I was young (11 years to be exact.) 😀
The ride cymbal is a 1950s 18” A. Zildjian Sizzle (thin). My 12” hats, also A Zildjian, date to the 1940s.
The drums are Gretsch USA Custom, modern, in Silver Sparkle finish: 12, 13, 16.
