What are driving nocks?
Ride Cymbal is an cymbal that is part of the drum file and has a permanent sound when hitting. The reason it is called a driving cymbal is that drummers usually use it to "ride" with music or use it for a well -kept rhythmic formula. The thickness of these cymbals will determine the different sounds that it can make. Where the drummer places the cymbal ride, it depends on what is comfortable and its specific style. Some types of driving cymbals are available depending on what kind of musical styles and place. Unlike Crash Cymbal, which emits an increased sound, a driving cymbal is used for softer sound and at the same time provides a backup of a continuous rhythm in the band or a small combination of tools. Hi-hat cymbals, which are played with the pedal, are usually used in conjunction with driving cymbals to ensure a stable rhythmic accompaniment.
Different sound can be made with driving cymbals, depending on their thickness. Those who are thinner give for smaller places more shimmering sound and those that are strongerThey are for larger places more highlighted sound. Standard widths are 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 cm). Larger models can produce the loudest sounds.
It is common for a riding cymbal to be placed on the right drummer, slightly behind the floor Tom. For a drummer who is left -handed, it could be better for the cymbal ride to be placed on the left. Overall, it is the best, anywhere the dominant hand of the drummer is the best. There are no rules for determining where it is necessary to place, because the use of the cycle of driving is correctly strictly according to personal comfort and style.
Rock drummer should consider buying industrial cymbals. The most popular are the middle to thin weight. They provide more power in the cymbal's sound for rock concerts. There are many popular brands and have different variants that create more "ping" or sharper sound when hitting.
More expensive driving nocks are mademade of better materials. Many rock drums prefer this because of the louder sounds they provide. Flat dumbbell is a popular choice with jazz drums because of its silence, which is because it has no bell in the middle of the cymbale.
