Soultone 鑔片
1964年古老學校的系列銅鈸 – 2013年2月由現代鼓手邁克爾·道森所發行
Soultone的銅鈸是由洛杉磯的鼓手IKI於2003年發明成立，為了努力提供高質量的模型，Levy 將其描述成“實現適當的重量和音調特性之間的平衡”。電流線包括通用定制，輝煌定制，輕薄爵士經典，黑暗的極端，特殊效果FXO和快速/光明的福音。
在復古系列裏有兩個子系列，包括復古學派，其目的是要復制在上個世紀50、60年代所產生的銅鈸的甜美的聲音，以及1964年的陳舊學派，這是專門為像傳奇爵士鼓手托尼·威廉斯所設計的令人垂涎的銅鈸，他用這個與邁爾斯·戴維斯在1964年進行了壹次經典錄音。我們回顧了在2011年3月所發行的陳舊學派，這個月我們將看看1964年的。我們使用20”寸的，22”寸的和14”寸的鑔片。
復古特征
所有的銅鈸都是由B20青銅在土耳其的鑄造車間制作而成的（80％的銅和20％的錫）。1964年這所古老學校的銅鈸從其邊緣到鐘聲進行緊密的加工制作，並且除了鐘以外，還錘定銅鈸的整個表面。聲音低的鐘聲有助於增加關節銜接，以壹種淺淺的方式，這給了他們壹個更加平衡，更加豐富的音調。但這也有也有壹個相對平坦的輪廓作為其額外的控制。這些銅鈸是在中薄範圍內的，所以他們也存在壹些彎曲，但是通過比較，鑔片是呈現出更加的堅挺，更加的厚重的特點。頂端的銅鑔片是重介質的，底部有中等的重量，踩鑔有更陡的鐘聲和更大的弓聲，所以他們聽起來也會更加明亮，更加清晰。

Soultone
Vintage Old School 1964 Series Cymbals – February 2013 Issue of Modern Drummer
by Michael Dawson
Soultone Cymbals was founded in 2003 by the Los Angeles–based drummer Iki Levy, in an effort to provide high-quality models with what Levy describes as “a balance of proper weight and tone properties.” Current lines include the all-purpose Custom and Custom Brilliant, the thin and jazzy Vintage, the darker Extreme, the special-effects FXO, and the fast/bright Gospel.
Within the Vintage series are two subseries, Vintage Old School, which is designed to replicate the sweet sounds of cymbals made in the 1950s and ’60s, and Vintage Old School 1964, which is specifically tailored to sound like legendary jazz drummer Tony Williams’ coveted cymbals on the classic recordings he made with Miles Davis around 1964. We reviewed the Vintage Old Schools in the March 2011 issue, and this month we’re taking a look at the 1964s. We were sent 20″ and 22″ crash/rides and 14″ hi-hats.
Vintage Physique
All Soultone cymbals are made from B20 bronze (80 percent copper and 20 percent tin) at a foundry in Turkey. Vintage Old School 1964 cymbals are tightly and shallowly lathed from edge to bell and are hammered extensively throughout the entire surface, except for the bell. The bells on the crash/rides are small, which helps increase stick articulation, and shallow, which gives them a more balanced, richer tone. The crash/rides also have a fairly flat profile, for additional control. These cymbals are in the medium-thin range, so they have some flex, while the hi-hats are firmer and heavier by comparison. The top hi-hat is medium in weight, and the bottom is medium-heavy. The hi-hats have much steeper bells and bows than the crash/rides, so they sounded brighter and clearer.
