That last groove was sick! All those weird cymbals worked together to create a naturally crushed, saturated sound. Even that purple ride fit right in. You did a good job at making these things musical!
When I was younger, I took part in all percussion performance where the instruments were made entirely from junk people threw out during spring cleaning. I constructed a weird, drumset sort of thing out of a washing machine and assorted crap. The "ride" was literally a piece of sheet metal. It sounded better than that alien egg steel *thing.*
Haha, that first cymbal, the steel one, sounded like when I was a small kid and would try to make a drum set out of random buckets and containers around the house, and the pie tins that I would use for "cymbals", sounds just like those tins did!!!
While I wouldn't necessarily go after any of these myself, I was more impressed by the fact that you grooved and made music with all of them. If you closed your eyes and just listened, they all sounded awesome to me in the context of which they were played. Kudos to you for making that happen.
The CP ride sounded like playing on a traffic sign. I love the trashy Rocktagon hats vibe! The Linear splash is -- unique. But not unusable. Sounds great with the rest of these sounds! The V-Wave makes a very styling hat (not so much an instrument I'd use). I *want* one of those Masterworks blanks! They sound AMAZEBALLS.
The CP ride has next to no redeeming qualities. The fact that they even sell it says something about the company. You nailed it with your traffic sign comment. If you want something that sounds that horrible, fine, but then just go find or steal a piece of metal and drill a hole in it
You always find the most practical applications for the products you test. It's like the manufacturer had the song you chose and your playing in mind when they built their instrument. By the way, your playing just keeps getting better and better! Thanks for sharing your talents!
Hands down, this is the best video you’ve ever made dude. The drumming examples were so rad and on point. You gave a solid overview of all these weird cymbals and showcased awesome creative use of everything like always. Bravo!
Hi Davud, i just love how, no matter how weird a piece of gear you get hold of, you akways find a rhythm pattern or groove and style that works with it to the maximum musical effect, you are probably the most inventive guy posting drums on TH-cam, when it comes to musical style! Do you have some actual live gig footage playing with your band? That would be fun to see and hear!
Next after the Paiste Mega Cup Chime (that looks like a british solider helmet from WWII) you night check out their Flanger Bell (both long discontinued). Oh and ufip made those weird wedges where they cut away most of the cymbal leaving only the bell and a wedge shaped portion of the profile. And there might even have been some tambourine jingles riveted onto that…
I've been watching your videos for a year now drooling all over your collection. I was pleasantly surprised to see you featuring a cymbal I own. I found one of those Linear splashes about 4 years ago. It's certainly niche, but I enjoy watching you groove with it. Keep on keeping on... Love your channel.
Gotta love the Rocktagon hats because they're just so out there. I have a Rocktagon splash and it's one of my very favorites. Sabian is making thin AAX Rocktagons now and they sound really nice.
That Percussion Steel FX Ride reminds me of a trash can lid. We used to do a thing in high school where the drum line would play on trash cans for a peprally. The snares would get those metal trash cans with the lids like you see in wrestling. We would play on the bottoms of those and the cymbal line would play the lids. Hearing you play that dude just sparked this memory so thanks!!
Just awesome. Looked like you were having even more fun than usual. Pretty sweet how you pulled each one's good stuff out :) I would have liked to hear that 'I forget the name and don't care as I don't aspire to own one' curved one as struck on the bend...
One of your best videos. Definitely your funniest. I remember when the Sabian wave cymbals came out. Zildjian Meinl and Sabian were jumping on the jungle trend in the late 90's and that was one of them.
I'm always fascinated by the sounds you can make by bowing cymbals and other random objects. The was once a Sleepy Hollow piece we played in high school that required bowing an old music stand. That was probably my favorite piece.
*_The most IMPORTANT item in any Drum Kit is a Creative Drummer...._* Different types of drums and cymbals come and go. Different trends for music come and go. The Drummer is the part that remains in control regardless of types or trends. *_Thank you for video and for being the most important part of any drum kit..._*
This was a fun video to watch. Who was your drum teacher when you were young? Have you made a video along with your drum teacher? Would be great to see something like that where both of you come up with some funky, grooves together on weird funky drumsets. 😅
Fun fact. Zildjian MADE an 18 COD back in that. Actually came across one and made sure I grabbed it because I knew I was never going to find another one. I don't know if it was just a one-off or a rarity but it happened somewhere back there in the past
The ride cymbal reminded me of the metal trash can lid from back in the day. Eh! However the Wuhan splash was my favorite & sounded more useful than the others. It was fun to watch anyway! Nice blast beats, & ingenious way to play that wave "thing"!
That was a fun day with interesting cymbals. Percussion is a wide open artists landscape. I'd use the dry ride for special effects, movie soundtrack bites, including the wave/curved cymbal. All very cool but I'd say my favorite is the crash of doom.
That blast beat brought me back to that old probably now deleted “David plays metal?” video. Also, that first cymbal when you bowed it resonated at a perfect E4 (not including the overtones).
Wow, that first one... the one dude on Earth who bought it must be thrilled... hopefully. I mean, besides you! The Linear pentagon sounded pretty cool.
I saw the video where you did ride hats, using two full sized rides. Have you done a hihat using two rides that are cut down to 14 or 15 inch like a normal sized hihat pair? If not I’d love to see that
The cymbals sound… unique. That blank may be the most useful of the bunch. The real question is did the 13 year old rdavidr show signs of that glorious beard he now wears?
That blank crash was👌Which was your favorite?
i havent watched the video yet 🙃
I like all of them because i cant afford any of them 🤣 😭
That steel cymbal is a few bends away from being a China cymbal thinks. XD
Have you tried any Hammerax stuff yet?
That steel ride with a bow and mallets!
This is a historical moment: David playing METAL??? AND A BLAST BEAT?!?! Loved that VFX cymbal, so weird yet so cool!
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!
Look like he was doing gravity blasts on that weird cymbal
Dude just found the cheat code to deathcore drumming
I'm pretty sure he mentioned in a few videos that he use to be in a metal band in his younger years.
@@abandonedanthracite5852 yep, and pretty sure not the first time he's played something metally here.

You should check out Deden Noy on here, his snare is a paint bucket a biscuit tin and rocks and ot sounds pretty damn good.
I think the alien egg steel thing sounded nice with the timpani mallet roll
Skeleton Key also has some cool improvised drum kits
That Linear splash actually sounds really cool
I have one too, along with the round, slotted crash it came with. Terrible as a stack but both are awesome separately
Was thinking the same thing
yeah, best and cheapest
I was just about to say
The steel rides bell sounds almost like a clap.
The V-Wave blast beat is the best thing I've seen all year.
10mo ago and no comments?
You know it's a good day when David uploads.
W I was actually so excited
I know it! I wish he uploaded more often, but I suppose quality matters much more than quantity!
Lol I was just gonna comment this

I love the roctagon hats! But that crash of doom...... mmmwwaah. That's going on my wish list. Everything in this video was very metal!! LOVE IT! ✌️🤟🤘

If you want to hear actual traffic signs being played- check out my man 'the drum thing'. Great content
@@benodaboy Yeah! And they sound terrible 🤣
This has to be my favorite episode yet. I never ralized the influence of cymbals on a kit‘s character. Thank you for this!
That steel ride with the bow was EPIC. I bet a sound designer would love that thing

Wierd how everything sounds better together.
I have never wanted anything more in my life than to see David play a euro blast 🤤
Hands down, this is the best video you’ve ever made dude. The drumming examples were so rad and on point. You gave a solid overview of all these weird cymbals and showcased awesome creative use of everything like always. Bravo!
The linear splash actually sounded nice. Also the closed rocktagon hats sound pretty dope.
5:29 I lost it when he cut to this shot, never thought we'd see David's hidden Hobbit side
Creative percussion is one of my favorite websites. I’m so glad it’s getting the representation that it deserves
Not their best products tho!
@@mathias841 u right
I think that bumpy ride would work best as a back beat accentuator. Has kind of a snare-like sound. I’d use it the same way you’d use a clap stack.
I have this cymbal, and you’re right. That or really busy patterns
The masterworks crash sounds better than the crash of doom it copies. Incredible
It's amazing how you can make these cymbals work with the music. Well done!
Whenewer i'm mad at something I watch your videos because you have such a calming presence it's unheard of. You are a capybara of drumming
I've used Rocktagons as crash cymbals since the 80s. I currently have 12 of them. Bobby Rock used them as hi hats In his Zen of drumming video.
Rocktagon love ❤
the first one sounded like ur using a roof panel for a cymbal
Hi Davud, i just love how, no matter how weird a piece of gear you get hold of, you akways find a rhythm pattern or groove and style that works with it to the maximum musical effect, you are probably the most inventive guy posting drums on TH-cam, when it comes to musical style!
Do you have some actual live gig footage playing with your band? That would be fun to see and hear!
A set with a dry ride (Like a Zildjian Dark Ride), that blank crash, the penta "splash" and an actual splash would sound really good for a rock group!
That CP cymbal, sounds just like the old washing machine lid I used as a cymbal before I got a real one! LOL!!
4:38 one moment to appreciate this fill
Next after the Paiste Mega Cup Chime (that looks like a british solider helmet from WWII) you night check out their Flanger Bell (both long discontinued).

"Only $62" dawg 💀that's a fortune in this economy. Also that blank crash is super good
The bow on the first cymbal sounded awesome, to be honest!
Totally would use the linear splash.
I really like the roll sound as well. The only use that underwhelmed me was using it as a ride.
gotta say, the rocktagon hats were disgustingly crunchy. I'd imagine that sound would wear out quick but my god they sound tasty.
The rocktagon hats had no business sounding this good omg
That Percussion Steel FX Ride reminds me of a trash can lid. We used to do a thing in high school where the drum line would play on trash cans for a peprally.

never seen david do blast beats, that amazed me
😂😂😂😂The rocktagon hats were ridiculous.
Your uploads instantly make my day better!
that masterwork crash! perfect blend of china and crash/splash type cymbal. really like it
That last song sounded like the character select screen for an early 2000’s racing game and I’M HERE FOR ITTTTTT ❤❤❤❤
Never wanted octagonal hi hats before, I actually love the way they sound
Just awesome. Looked like you were having even more fun than usual. Pretty sweet how you pulled each one's good stuff out :) I would have liked to hear that 'I forget the name and don't care as I don't aspire to own one' curved one as struck on the bend...
Love this kind of video and how you‘re playing those weirdos I‘m astonished how much I actually do like how they sound. Awesome work!
You made all of them sound great in musical context, amazing video man!!!
I’m loving that octagonal hi hat. That way it sits maybe it’s like a hexadecagonal hi hat
6:14 this is the pinnacle of drumming 😂 give up everyone, the best drum performance ever made has been done
One of your best videos. Definitely your funniest. I remember when the Sabian wave cymbals came out. Zildjian Meinl and Sabian were jumping on the jungle trend in the late 90's and that was one of them.

Dude! Not a drum guy, but really enjoy these weird cymbal videos. Love to play them to test home stereo speakers, DACs, and amps.
Interesting sounds, Thanks. Would you know where to find a Tama floor tom damper, It has 3 small holes. Thanks!
6:14 He Plays Music🤘😡🤘
*_The most IMPORTANT item in any Drum Kit is a Creative Drummer...._*

The Rocktagon hi-hats groove kinda had a raunchy vibe to it. I like it.
WE NEED V-WAVE HI-HATS!
Fun fact. Zildjian MADE an 18 COD back in that. Actually came across one and made sure I grabbed it because I knew I was never going to find another one. I don't know if it was just a one-off or a rarity but it happened somewhere back there in the past
Those Rocktagon hats are fire but I bet that linear splash would make a great stack top or bottom
Love the contrasting tones of the splashes. They really played off each other in that groove
No joke, this video hit on all cylinders. Rad and hilarious! Thanks for creating this content
I was laughing so hard I literally could not breathe! The look on his face when he played that “ride”….!😅
The ride cymbal reminded me of the metal trash can lid from back in the day. Eh! However the Wuhan splash was my favorite & sounded more useful than the others.
It was fun to watch anyway! Nice blast beats, & ingenious way to play that wave "thing"!
Your snare sounds absolute fire
I believe it’s a Starphonic aluminum i’ve got one. It’s a good snare if u dont mind paying 550 bucks.
@@joelmartin3213 awesome man! Out of my budget for sure tho 😂
Lol, that ZBT mention - brought back some good memories. Though I wasn't cool enough to hang the empty box on my wall.
Mate you slapped with ALL of these... love the riffs you chose to play with 🤘🤘
6:39 i've never expected david playing such a great blast beats
The Raouf blast!!
That 18" masterworks sounds surprisingly good, dang
Never would I ever thought I'd hear a blastbeat on this channel. Nice 👍
That first beat you played with the rocktagon hi hats and the CP was AMAZING
My local drum store had the same CP ride for years and I'd always play on it thinking "yeah that's why nobody's bought it yet" 😅
That weird thing would have been great with Lars Ulrichs St. Anger snare.
Brooooo! Rdaviidr with the BLAST BEATS!!! 😍
triple hi that?!?!?! I can't wait
I get the love for dry cymbals … but I love when cymbals sing and sound sparkly
That was a fun day with interesting cymbals. Percussion is a wide open artists landscape. I'd use the dry ride for special effects, movie soundtrack bites, including the wave/curved cymbal. All very cool but I'd say my favorite is the crash of doom.
That blast beat brought me back to that old probably now deleted “David plays metal?” video.
Also, that first cymbal when you bowed it resonated at a perfect E4 (not including the overtones).
Love it. That made my weekend!
Wow, that first one... the one dude on Earth who bought it must be thrilled... hopefully.
I mean, besides you!
The Linear pentagon sounded pretty cool.
Not gonna lie that kit is my favorite one of yours. Love the color. 🔥🔥🔥
Loved you brought out some blasts! A historical moment indeed.
If i had to choose, i'll be with Linear and Masterworks all day on my setup. Loved those cymbals.
Perfect set of cymbals to go along with the house kit
I saw the video where you did ride hats, using two full sized rides. Have you done a hihat using two rides that are cut down to 14 or 15 inch like a normal sized hihat pair? If not I’d love to see that
6:38 🤣 Now I want a V-Wave cymbal just so I can do this!
So is sounding dry code for sounding like crap? It did sound pretty cool with the bow.
The cymbals sound… unique. That blank may be the most useful of the bunch. The real question is did the 13 year old rdavidr show signs of that glorious beard he now wears?
man that blast beat sounded absolutely awsome with that sabian thing
ive been waiting a lot of time for a thirt part in the weird cymbal series
Loved how you found applications for each. Great playing!
I just love your channel and videos bro. Just a good night time watch. I love the dialog and creativity
'Bro' is really 'creative'.
Death to false Metal
Into Glory Ride.
MANOWAR.
Great video bro🎉
Rdavidr casually whipping out a flawless blast beat like its nobody's business.
we need more David playing blasts!
I had a 16 inch Rocktagon for years. I loved it.
That hi-hat grew on me. Thanks for another cool video!
I love the splash, really fun looking and great sound!
Yo the crash of doom can easily swan in as a djent China sound. Super sick
What about using a hardwood head small mallet with a bronze stick, or just a bronze drumstick? on that dry blue lump?
