Great transcription! As for Christensen's ride, it's a 22" old K Istanbul orchestral cymbal, very heavy and close to 4000g. It has a lot more tone than a flat ride. He had a 16" cymbal and and 18" cymbal in his kit. Sometimes the 18" was an old K and sometimes he had a Paiste 2002 Crash (probably what's on this album). He did not play a 22" SCDR, though the Paiste profiles book says he did. There's no flat ride on this recording. It couldn't be the Paiste SC Dark Flat anyway since that didn't come out until 1984 (a year after Paul Wertico joined the Pat Metheny Group and started playing it with them). If you want to hear Jon Christensen on a flat ride I think there's one on Ralph Towner's album Sound & Shadows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587725.post-45019344047253358582012-10-20T09:21:56.611-07:002012-10-20T09:21:56.611-07:00Excellent, thanks for the info!

All I know about ...Glad you could use this, Ulrich! All I know about his cymbals is that he had a K ride he used a lot, and a 22" Paiste dark (either 602 or Sound Creation); pretty clearly there's a 602 flat on this track-- probably a 20"? That's good to know about the 2002 hihats-- I've been looking for an excuse to buy some! <br /><br />I think the only other thing of his I've transcribed is Long As You Know You're Living Yours, from Belonging, which has that ECM funk groove on it. I'll try to find something else suitable soon, though. tbTodd Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814005635510193577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587725.post-56301232099000060072012-05-26T05:31:33.335-07:002012-05-26T05:31:33.335-07:00Jon Christensen transcr.:
