Reminds me of that scene in _The Fly 2_ where Brundle's girlfriend is like, "..You can't walk, and you're getting worse..." and he's mutating and molting and responds, "I'm getting *better."* 😂😅
@@dylsdrumz7081 I thought the same originally, however it was so thick and bright initially that it overpowered everything I tried it with, I liken it to using a hi hat bottom as a crash cymbal. It works really nicely now with a stack actually, as it's much wider and thinner.
Looks pretty cool! I got some fucked up old hihat and crash for barely any money and have been wanting to make a stack and a china from it. What kind of tools did you use for the heat treatment and the hammering? Do you have any specific tips?
@@Verulyrus yeah!! I used a lump hammer as an anvil which I set into a log, and a ball peen hammer as the hitting hammer, I just used a basic blowtorch for the heat treatment. I do think the few large dimples I hammered into the cymbal really help with it's trashy sound. Good luck!!
@@GQM3Z without the heating the cymbal has no rigidity, when you hit the untreated cymbal it bends, and eventually you have a really bent cymbal. If you heat it, it normalises the grains of metal within the cymbal, and it gets it's springiness back, when you hit it it doesn't bend, and returns to it's normal shape. the heating also gives the cymbal it's sustain back, the untreated cymbal acted like it had lots of tape on it 😂
@CalebCarterFilm a improvement for sure. I've been doing a patina white vinegar with salt sprayed. Let it dry, not soaked, and seems to work. Barely dampens, but it looks cool. I'm glad i watched your video. I might try the hammering on a vintage brass kent cymbal.
@@RhinoMaster-xf6ko before and mods it was just a bad cheap smcymbal really, really thick and sounded horrible. But it was made from bronze so it is possible to save it.
It normalises the metal, I tried playing it before torching it, and it had not shimmer or sustain. After torching it and letting it cool it gets all of its sustain back.
It was originally a 15 inch crash, b8 bronze, but just way to thick for it to sound good. I'm honestly really pleased with how it turned out. Still use it to this day.
meinl would probably sell this for $450.
🤣
ahahahah
don’t diss meinl they got great cymbals man and each cymbal is unique especially the unlatched ones
@@dylsdrumz7081 not dissin em just making a joke. im running all meinl cymbals rn. love their stuff
What have you got against the best cymbal manufacturer?
Went from garbage to trash, right quick! I’d say that’s a win! 👏
It went from a cymbal that made me cringe like a screeching chalkboard to somethibg fun, trashy and unique!
Finally! Someone who gets it!

I threw away cymbals that sounded like the way you made it sound lol, I called them pie plates
I wouldn't say amazing, but it's....different 😂 I'd probably add some rivets for sizzle...
I mean I still use it regularly. 🤷🏻
Might be a little more niche now, but I'd say it's an improvement. 👍
thanks!
cool!! Its almost like a china, has a lot more sustain! Great job
Thanks!
it doesn’t even sound too bad to begin with as a really small ride it’s like a nice effect cymbal
like it would work as a stack

pretty cool transition.
Gotta say, I didn't mind the original but you made something quite interesting out of it
Nice and dark sound. I love the trashy sustain. Sound likea china ride.
It's quite nice as a brutal jazz ride.
I'd use it in a stack.
I do sometimes!
The cymbal sounds great, but one minor detail: you killed the bell.
@@GigaJinGaming3711 yeah... I'm not sure what to do about that
the bell is dead, but the rest is really cool
Wow
considering where it was I WOULD say amazing. well done!

@@CalebCarterFilm Thanks!
It sound china now
It does, I thought that too!!
wow, very inspiring! what is the use of heating?

try this with a bronze cymbal.
@@ohmtronseedling it is bronze, b8 bronze.
Trash can lid cymbal now
yeah, Although I still think it sounds better than it did.
😂
How to give your cymbal aids.
Best with hammering but before heat treating
@@matthewmore6893 That's interesting, I prefer it after heat treating.

That's sounds cool, I've heard of kents but never seen one. Good luck.
shoulda hammered the top to even out the shape
that's the splashiest crash I think I've heard.. or was it suppoused to be a ride?
@@RhinoMaster-xf6ko I personally really like it. This was an experiment so I didn't know how it was going to turn out.
@@CalebCarterFilm nah man it turned out to be a great ride, I was talking about the cymbal pre-hammering
@@RhinoMaster-xf6ko before and mods it was just a bad cheap smcymbal really, really thick and sounded horrible. But it was made from bronze so it is possible to save it.
heat treating it will make it crack soon.
@@gestaltlabart still going strong almost 2 years later. Not a single crack.
hammer the bell to get it even trashier
Question:
What does the torch flame do to the cymbal?
It normalises the metal, I tried playing it before torching it, and it had not shimmer or sustain. After torching it and letting it cool it gets all of its sustain back.
Its better. I liked it best before the heat treating
Much better!
Really cool actually. It rides nicely, but has the qualities of a china cymbal when you crash it. Was it originally a hi-hat bottom?
It was originally a 15 inch crash, b8 bronze, but just way to thick for it to sound good. I'm honestly really pleased with how it turned out. Still use it to this day.
Trashy 🔥 love it
Sounded better before, now it looks like it has cancer.
I guess just a matter of personal preference?
the brighter sound still has its applications. but the darker, trashier sound has a much more interesting ambience and texture

Looks worse, is it meant to be. A joke
looks better in my opinion, plus look means nothing if it sounds like trash!! 🤣🤣
The sound is quite nice now instead of being complete garbage!!
It looks better to me
