    Use a weed burner/roofing torch to heat it red hot and quench it in water. It'll anneal(soften) the B8 alloy and allow you to hammer it out further. I have been reworking cymbals for almost a decade. I recently hammered out a Sabian B8 20" ride into a 22" dark/dry jazz ride that sounds amazing.

  • @bergerdrum
    @bergerdrum หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Cool video. I've seen a couple of these; my suggestion would be to invest a little in better audio recording gear. Seems like you're just using whatever mic is on the camera, and the sound is incredibly compressed. It makes for some deception in the sound - like, for example, the sustain of the original ride sound. Yes, it goes on, but the compression gives a false picture of its volume over the length of that sustain. And I'd love to hear the finished ride without that compression. The audio picture would be more accurate and realistic. But again, these videos are cool, I enjoy watching.

    You have to try the cymbal again! Metals need a resting period for their sound to fully sink in after their hammering. generally a day after you'll hear a pretty considerable difference, and potentially even a week after.

    • @SynthRay
      @SynthRay  หลายเดือนก่อน

      You know, I personally haven't tried any other hammers aside from ball type. But I know professionals like Timothy Roberts sometimes use flat hammers. However those might be for a different part of the process. I'd say give the ball hammer a shot first. As they create smaller dents, which allows for more gradual change overtime. That way you can more finely tune the sound you want! Also, I'm so glad you're continuing to enjoy the videos! And wish you luck with your first DIY cymbal project. Cheers 🍻

    B8’s have a tendency to sound cheap. This hammering seems drier, slightly less volume, yet crisper in sound.
    I am about to try hand hammering 3 different splash cymbals, 10in. In size, yet in better quality. I will use a Paiste Signature, or a Paiste Twenty, a Sabian Legacy, or another Sabian in quality, and finally a gorgeous UFIP splash from the 1950’s.
    I will be using a variety of scripted hammers used in Silver-smithing, so the designs of hammer strike will ultimately be varied in origin.

    • @SynthRay
      @SynthRay  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Based on the small amount of experience I have with the previous 2 cymbals. It seems that when you go past a certain point, the undertones and overtones become even more diminished, getting washed out by "white noise" type frequencies. (Kind of like a china cymbal) And less decay, meaning the sound dies out very quickly after being hit. The results can vary quite a bit though. I would love to try out some different sized hammers to see if that makes a difference in tone.

    • @MichaelBrown-x1q
      @MichaelBrown-x1q 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @SynthRay Ya nylon tips give you so much more articulation on while playing the top of the hi hats. Also you get the ping on the ride and bell Everytime! Wooden tips get flat spots, dents and chips. Plus the adhesive that holds the tips on so much stronger. So then less tips breaking, and once the wooden tip starts to damage, if it doesn't break off and starts to crack it will run right down the shaft of the stick. I know it's a personal preference which tips they rather? But like you said, you never even tried them? Do you don't know what your missing? Plus nylon tips rebound of your hats and ride way better while playing patterns. Try them you'll see the improvement.

      Nonsense. Some of the best cymbals have been made from B8. Ever play a Giant Beat? Just because some youtuber with a hammer can't make an already cheaply made cymbal sound good, doesn't mean a real craftsperson can't use B8 to make something special. The material matters much less that the care, knowledge, and skill that goes into making something. Today's obsession with cymbal and drum materials comes from successful marketing. In the past nobody cared. They only cared about whether the instrument sounded good for the music

      Of course! And this video is more about changing sound profile, less than it is general improvement. Sabian makes great cymbals across the board. 👍

    Great vid, and not knocking your work, but the cymbal is just bad. Sounds like shit in all three examples.

    I feel like now you have a gong unless you hit the bell, then it sounds like a ride again.
    The original sounded actually really nice
    Makes me confident to buy a cheap ride!
    Just got the $200 SJC galaxy pathfinder Floor Tom!
    I love that series, but I wanted a nice ping so I got the Mapex Side Snare and just a cheap Wuhan hat. But don’t knock Wuhan they got the right tone!
