I really love players like this - you can tell someone is incredibly talented when they can make a kit sound not like a collection of drums and cymbals, but like a single instrument made of a cohesive cluster of sounds. To use piano as an analogy, beginners assign a series of notes to each finger while playing chopsticks, much like a young drummer assigns a series of drums and cymbals to each limb, whereas a master simply recognizes chords and voicings while playing Chopin and allows their fingers to materialize what is mapped out, as this man does with his drums.

Not many drummers that I could sit and listen to just their drumming for hours. You are one. Amazing.

[scribble]

No matter the instrument, when it's on the hands of a true musician, it's like magic.

[CarpPine]

Excellent and surpisingly healthy sounding cymbals… The wash has an undeniable strength and mass not present in more pedestrian sizes. Great playing as well!

[TheJoehendrix]

It's like I can hear music that isn't there when he is playing. Very musical drummer.

[drummerchappell]

What a sales man!! You can use it for a beach umbrella he says. What a guy, I love these videos

[Thomlistentoslayer]

That 26" with the rivets has great harmonics and the 30" is surprisingly crisp!!!

[tobysemain]

I can't get enough of watching Steve play. He's a melody maker on the drums. Such an amazing musician. I've never enjoyed a cymbal solo as much as this one.

[dew_b_dew]

Watching the technique of these old school guys is inspiring. Makes me want to hop on my kit and try to use it in my own style

[openminddrums]

Love the part where he goes, "You could use it as a beech umbrella if you want to." Amazing sounding cymbals! I really like that deep low dark sound from that 26" on his left! Great drums too!

[anthonyfuentes]

The 26" Riveted Cymbal sounds Awesome.

[dhooksdrums]

This is one of the smoothest guys out there! Very fun watching this

[robertsala]

OMG! I have a 26” Zildjian heavy ride I bought a very long time ago: a good bargain as it was a special order that the customer never picked up and the music store was happy to be free of it. It sounds good but has limited applications. I had a teacher who had a Fibes kit in black fivel! Never thought I would hear of one ever again. Easy to keep clean with a vacuum!

[officialserpentineRecords]

I could listen to your playing for hours!

[josephclarke]

The subtlety of your playing is amazing. Such brilliant control and deft touch

[zenos.]

Cymbals have a very cool haunting type of sound to them……Excellent!!!

[marcdedouvan]

ZILDJIAN MAGIC: PUT ANY SHAPE AND FINISH, SOUNDS EVER GREAT! NICE JOB!

[ryanridgely]

Always enjoy watching you play, Steve. They do sound good!

[boumpanimusic]

Thank You Steve for all you give to the world of drumming!

[youbeknowin]

Wow, those big ol’ beasts sound amazing. I laughed out loud when he first said 17 inch hi hats but man, these are awesome. That kit sounds great too.
