Does EB hate Jazz?

Update: The Equipboard Team and this community love all music... even jazz! This was just an amusing bug that deemed jazz as an invalid genre. Please excuse my lame post title

I tried a few times. Same results each time.

This is Elvin @#$%ing Jones... and tonight, I need to take my mind off the world and log some ride cymbals... ride cymbals all night long... I want Zildjian-flavored nightmares for a change... please!

How best to work around this?

I don't hate jazz, I played guitar in jazz band in highschool and college

Too bad you wasted so many years on an invalid genre...

I love the Wendy Carlos-ness of this. I envy your scoring chops.

I'm guessing 9 of every 10 entries in this contest stitched together thundering Hans Zimmer BRAAAMs and called it a day.

I think I was able to fix it. WEIRD bug, good catch. Try adding Elvin Jones again. I promise Equipboard loves jazz! Miles Davis radio is a go-to station on whatever streaming app I happen to have handy at the time 😁

I got trounced thoroughly.... the runners up were all Hans Zimmer, yes.... the winner sounded like donkey kong. Shit you not...

I listened to the winner last night, as part of the Spitfire results video. I haven't watched any Westworld, granted, but the winner's abrupt transition to a gameboy sound pallet made me wonder if someone was trying to insert a gag. At least the judges have a sense of humor....?...

Thanks Jim!... once I tore into the task last night, I began to question what the best approach is for drum kits here. In cases where the components of the kit are also individual SKUs... is it more beneficial to the database, community, etc to log most pieces of the kit separately? Or log the kits that were sold as kits, but then also log individual pieces that get a lot of focus like the "old K" handmade rides, the various small-ish kick drums, etc?

Also, most of the detailed evidence I've found for Elvin is videos similar to the one you linked: drum shops selling "authenticated" Elvin jones pieces. If a piece of gear is authenticated (by his wife, for example) as having been personally "selected" by Elvin (as is the case with A LOT of cymbals out there) is that sufficient evidence for logging that make and model of gear to Equipboard? If one just goes off of photographic evidence of Elvin playing, you can only get as specific as "50s Gretsch kit" or "Elvin Jones Yamaha Custom kit'... these reseller and historian videos have a lot more meat on the bone detail-wise... but I personally haven't seen such videos used here before.

Update: looking at how Neil Peart and Stewart Copeland are catalogued, I'll just follow the EB categories:

Drum Kit: - log new unique entries if (most likely) identical kits aren't already in the system. e.g. "Yamaha Maple Custom Kit (1990s)"

Cymbals: - go nuts on the "old K" and Constantinople Zildjians of various sizes that are authenticated to have been used by Elvin. There isn't a lot in the database on these, but I'll try to roughly track to however Reverb categorizes and tracks prices on these

Snares: - see cymbals strategy

Sticks: - I probably won't ever get around to these

So this is the guy who played on Coltrane's rendition of "My Favorite Things", one of my favorite songs? Thank you for posting this, I was very excited to learn that.

By the way, I took care of those drumsticks for you. ;)

I'm so happy I could put Elvin on your radar! He's easily one of my favorite jazz drummers.
