These were all appropriately nuts. Your little dubbed groove with the various chimes and discs was spiffy. I was wincing as you laid into the cross china, it looks as fragile as Axl Rose's ego 🤣the three trashy cymbals sounded so good together, just butter on toast. Great content yet again man, thanks!
The biggest thing I noticed is that all of those are usable, unlike some of the oddities from the other weird cymbal videos. Everything you showed here can be used without getting into incredibly eclectic styles of music
I have one of the first ever 24" Jupiter Ride cymbals and it is one of my favorite ride cymbals. I have played every large bell/mega bell ride from Zildjian, Paiste, Sabian, and Meinl, but the Jupiter Ride has the best combination of dryness, darkness, and penetration in my opinion. Everyone should check out this guy's stuff.
Never thought i'd see David with a megabell ride playing 5 minutes alone 😂. Sidenote, that ride sounds damn similar to what vinnie used (22 powerbell Sabian)
I am curious to know. If you had to build your favourite kit out of all the different separate drums and cymbals you have what would that kit look like. [edit] I really liked the sound of the square hats. I didn't think they'd be all that but they sound really nice.
A weirdo cymbal skeptic, I still think every one of these has a unique sound. Not a fan of the square hats, though, as the constantly changing edge would drive me crazy. Thanks for showcasing these. The spinning wagon wheel with the triangle striker was my favorite effect.
If the squares were cut inside the cymbal, definitely. Like the china, but with sharper inside corners. As those hats are, they should be fine unless they didn't anneal where the corners are flattened out a bit.
Dude, those square hats were awesome! I love how playing it like a ride just sounds like a a super washy open open hat underneath a ride sound. Playing with the pedal was cool too. I wonder what a smaller set would sound like…
I thought this was supposed to be a weird cymbal video not your audition for The Miami Sound Machine.. how'd that go by the way did you get that gig?😂 that large bell cymbal reminds me of the Zildjian Z custom mega bell ride, which was a great metal and nu metal ride in the 90's and early 00's. All these cymbals are interesting in their own ways love things that stretch the imagination for drummers
While these were all pretty strange, I'm surprised at just how good most of them sound. Some are pretty niche, but a good many could find a home on a lot of kits. That china is a beast!
That THIN massive crash sounds incredible! Explosive, very fast decay, and bright almost brighter than my 14" A Custom Fast crash. Sounds amazing! I NEED one now!! Super cool video David! Keep the coming at us!
The square hats are not meant to be played as normal hi hats. Unless you put your body weight on the pedal, there’s no definition. But they have so much potential and so many uses, I think they’re incredible!
Thin one is so crisp clear, it's like perfect for mix, no need to adjust anything. Also cross china is is good, rest was decent beside that double square, too dirty.
I would totally take that square hihat top to use as an auxilary ride, there was one part where you were riding it open and it was dry and trashy and glorious.
You should contact a company that makes the biggest sheets of brass, copper, bronze or similar alloy and commission the biggest sheet you can possibly get. Then cut it and hammer it into the largest cymbal ever made. Use a flag pole as the stand and use a crane to hit it with a massive stick.
Damn the 2x 10" bell set up is nice... I always try and have a heavey/dry ride far to the right for driving bell patterns and heavy ride playing (z custom, earth rid,) Even good for swing.. I'd like to see other companies make cupchimes of your favorite rides to pair up etc..
Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate your concern about potentially cracking our China cymbals. This model, like many of our others, are unique and may require some time to master. In inexperienced hands, they may not last long, but with the right touch, they can provide years of enjoyment. Please stay in touch, as we're introducing new models every six weeks. Cheers!
The thin one and the “only a bell”. 😋👍 The cymbal with many bells was interesting too. They’ve got so many possibilities and sounds! I’m not a drummer, (but a keyboardist/sound engineer) but I’ve loved drums all my life.
I actually am endorsed with GM Designs ! This is awesome to see the traction he’s getting! If y’all are ever in Austin TX let us know! Keep Austin Weird 💯✊🏾
Paiste actually has a 13" mega cup chime. So it's larger than that Jupiter cup. Has more body on it though, not just the cup. Damn good bell too. Best I've ever owned. Twice. And twice sold :D
Thank you for the fantastic compliment. These sounds truly defy comparison to regular cymbals, which most of us are accustomed to hearing. Our goal is to expand everyone's horizons to the possibilities of new sounds in their music. I'm delighted that you share our vision. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can ever craft something unique for you.
Thank you for the compliment! I completely agree. The world needs to see and hear it. Maybe that model could be featured in the next unusual cymbal episode?
My 6 year old is getting interested in rhythm and was talking about cymbals in his music class. I pulled up this video to talk about different cymbals and sounds and it was perfect! Thank you for documenting your creative exploration!
GMD is based here in Austin and when I bought from stack from him he drove it out to me. It sounds absolutely great and I am glad to see his other designs here!

@@GMDCymbals Wow, props to taking my salty comment very well haha. I still think there’s a lot of work to be done of course, but these cymbals sounded much better then the ones i heard at first

Worlds largest cymbal
Stagg 30inch DH Super Ride
That ride bell is great hahaha! damn
crazy how buried this comment is considering its from 66Samus himself
Bro basically no one has commented exept for trashmarine

The square high hats would work very well in an industrial EBM synth set up
Damn that 24” big bell ride and the cross china sound insanely good!
Right?! Perfect cymbals for a metal gig

Why is that called Jupiter when it's more like a Saturn?
gmd already makes a saturn ride tho. same thing as the jupiter but lighter basically

FIVE MINUTES ALONE! Just after the “head bangs on broken glass” lyric right?
yes
Weird but they all sound pretty good. Good to see you embracing your dark side....metal!
Look who's getting better at double bass. Good stuff, Dude.
That was awesome!

As a drummer with a degree in mechanical engineering, all I can think is that those square edges are going to start cracking in no time lol.
If the squares were cut inside the cymbal, definitely. Like the china, but with sharper inside corners. As those hats are, they should be fine unless they didn't anneal where the corners are flattened out a bit.
21,5 inch Neptune is a world first 20+ inches splash
😂
this is prob the best lineup of weird cymbals you've done that actually sound great together on the kit
The 6" cast at 6:14 matched up perfectly with the background music
this is not the weird cymbals in internet these are the weird cymbals in univeses
4:20 Oh, I know this song, I just need like 5 minutes alone to recall the name.
Dude, those square hats were awesome! I love how playing it like a ride just sounds like a a super washy open open hat underneath a ride sound. Playing with the pedal was cool too. I wonder what a smaller set would sound like…
Lars must have had these on 72 seasons. That album is a 77 minute hihat solo.
Bruh stack the Neptune and Cross China.
MORE STACKS!!!
That 21.5" Neptune crash is friggin' sick.
I miss seeing your cymbal project videos. Thanks for tons of informational and educational content over the years.
i dont know if you want to answer this question, but what happened to your videos?
sounds like a deeper splash and i love it
@isosk1229 youtube happened, and he decided it wasnt profitable to keep his videos up so he deleted them
2:06 Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga, I know you can't control yourself any longer
i never thought id hear a pair of hihats that sound like a ride when opened.... love it
We agree! In fact, there were moments when it seemed as though the ride cymbal and hi-hats were being played simultaneously. Very cool!
what the gong doin
The square hi-hats wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so big. 17" is too damn big, maybe 15" would be a better size?
I thought this was supposed to be a weird cymbal video not your audition for The Miami Sound Machine.. how'd that go by the way did you get that gig?😂 that large bell cymbal reminds me of the Zildjian Z custom mega bell ride, which was a great metal and nu metal ride in the 90's and early 00's.

The oldest cymbals you can find
4:09 love seeing dave playing 5 minutes alone, great content as always
Pantera - 5 minutes alone 😎💪🔥
Yeah buddy
Long loose rivets in the corners of the Sq hihats would keep them from rotating
Why didnt you wear the ride as a hat???
While these were all pretty strange, I'm surprised at just how good most of them sound. Some are pretty niche, but a good many could find a home on a lot of kits. That china is a beast!
The X-Men China, The Jupiter Ride and Neptune Crash are simply AMAZING.
Jesus Christ, what a nice and sexy brand to buy new cymbals!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm still chuckling over the X-Men China name. Cheers!
The most airy tone
5 minutes alone!
Yo David playing double bass is so cool! We need more of this sir! 👏
He back again with probably my favorite series you’ve done on this channel besides customizing cymbals!
Its a good day when david posts
Pizza box hats ftw
That THIN massive crash sounds incredible! Explosive, very fast decay, and bright almost brighter than my 14" A Custom Fast crash. Sounds amazing! I NEED one now!! Super cool video David! Keep the coming at us!
KIDS WAKE UP THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND HAS UPLOADED
This is crazy!! Where do you find the weird stuff…. I’d love to know!
5:03 I see you've been practicing your double kick patterns! sounded clean!
Yoo the 24" jupiter ride thing is 5 Minutes Alone by Pantera!!
Funny we just finished learning tha song with my proffesor!!
You playing Pantera blows my mind LOL. I still have and use Vinnies Signature 22 Powerbell Ride!!

That Neptune crash is super dope … right up my alley lol
Thank you for the compliment! We also offer the Neptune in 22.5" and 23.5" variants. Cheers!
4:54 that little grove with the slightly different sounding bell hit is so cool!
Neptune in my opinion is just screaming out "stack me with smth"

It edited cup Chimes into cupcakes he he ha ha🧁
Digging the giant bell ride, the cross, and the cast
Probably waaay out of my price range
7:03 someone really likes tf2 so much that they made a logo out of a symbol 🗿
All these were weird looking but!! Sounded good.
Awe man that Cross China sounds freaking awesome I want one now! I also really dig that Jupiter Ride. 👏👏👏
4:14 Amazonia by Gojira ? (mario duplantier)
"These are interesting"
What a nice word for shit 😂
Sorry, I mean “Cant Stop” by RHCP???
"She's crunchy, shes dirty, shes loud, I think im in love" My man!
That china cymbal gives me Will Calhoun vibes
that china sounds absolutely amazing! but id be afraid of it cracking fast and basically splitting in 2

cant stop addicted to the shindig

whats the second song he plays 4:40 ?
4:09
i seriously thought you were gonna play The Great Chain of Being - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
That would have been insane
for some reason I thought it was gonna be "The Lung" by Dinosaur Jr. or "Bombtrack" by RAtM
Dave using a mega bell ride and double bass? YES!
I immediately saw gm designs in the thumbnail and clicked so fast
❤
Was that 5 minutes alone at 4:10?
oh damn that multi bell groove thing hit the spot so well
I got the biggest kick out of this. It was fascinatingly awesome!
Paiste actually has a 13" mega cup chime. So it's larger than that Jupiter cup. Has more body on it though, not just the cup. Damn good bell too. Best I've ever owned. Twice. And twice sold :D

Wonder what the first ones would sound like if you flipped them inside out so they reverberate off eachother out towards the audience.
