OHHHH, I'm so happy I found this guy! He's one of the real deals!! So many out there tryin' to make a name for themselves. However Mr. Dior is one to pay attention to. I HAD to "like" the first 10 seconds in..👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

Beautiful playing and they sound so mellow and dry.

Wow, absolutely love that classic A main ride! Not too dark, not too bright.

Love your ald As Rick! I am an avid collector and have many trans stamps and the large block and small 50s stamps. Lovely stuff!

I just got a 1960's Z Avedis 22 inch; that 24 inch of yours sounds amazing!

LOL! I remember those fiber trap cases! My brother's drummer( and my teacher)used to put his 22" ride on the reso side of the bass drum and turn afew tension rods to hold it in place and then the 18" crashes on the floor tom and hi hats on the snare and they all went into naughahyde cases with broken zippers! Great set of old A's Its what i grew up on and still use my 70's ride and hi hats.

Congratulations on the Drummer World listing. Well deserved.

Love those old A's! Thanks for breaking them out. I've been down the road with a number of different cymbal lines and brands, but I always come back to my vintage A's. They're really versatile and work in so many situations.

Your videos are so very informative and inspiring! Unfortunately I’m now 38 and just started drumming two years ago - I wished I could have learned it since I was a child. You offer so much material, I would probably need a lifespan of 300 years to cover it all… One thing I can’t figure out is what makes a great cymbal? Of course there are those that I personally like and don’t like. But obviously there have to be some objective criteria that discern a good one from a bad one (like the mentioned hum-to-noise-ratio). I guess you don’t own bad cymbals, so some kind of a comparison video regarding this topic is probably not possible? Anyway, keep up your fantastic work, I really appreciate your efforts!

That 24 inch ride has a sound. I would call it Throaty. Great video, love your channel!
