Picked this up over at DFO. Oscar Peterson Trio. I love watching this film, particularly the eye contact between Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown. At some point, Thigpen changes out the brushes for sticks, but I never see where. What is that thing he hung on the post of his ride cymbal at the beginning?

Looks like there are quite a few clips from that show that I will want to check out.

Change to brushes is at 2:09, and is certainly very smooth.

Thanks for the link.

Almost looks like a little match container or dog tag necklace of some kind. Provides a nice primitive (and removable) sizzle sound!

I had one of those "rat tails" a long time ago that you could put on your cymbals to imitate sizzle. I don't see them around anymore?

It can be seen a bit more clearly for a moment in 'part 1' of the series, and I looks to me like a key.

I would guess, since they're in Italy, it is the hotel room key, great big thing on a great big ring. I remember the days when... ooops. :oops:
