Not a percussionist (unless you count my car's steering wheel), but your floppy cymbal sounds like it's trying to do a drunk impression of a thundsrstorm. "Hehehehe guys! Listen! PSHHHHHwubwubwublubwub! Hehehehe nailed it!"
Never in my life have I heard vibrato on a non digital percussion instrument Edit: I forgot the vibraphone exists but still Double edit: turns out a vibraphone is technically tremolo
I'm glad u brought this up because vibrato and glissandos on traditionally stiff instruments is one of my favorite parts of physical modeling synthesis. Dramatic bends on bells are so strange and it's great to see one of my favorite digital techniques realized in physical space.
If you've got the time for it I would love a "Complete Dingus's Guide to Drum Bits" video series, explaining the differences between the drum and cymbal types, what it means for something to sound "dry" or "dark". I've heard a good amount of the terms before and sort of know what they mean from context but having a proper explanation would be great. If you've already done this in earlier videos just call me a dingus and that I smell worse than Frank.
there's only one of those that I really know of off the top of my head, that being there's a vid on him going over Dryness in his earliest cymbal vid on here, but I know there's a few videos of him going over a few other cymbal quirks, namely material differences like he did in this video, or size difference. I still would love a long form "what does it mean when he says this" video just for the education alone though
Clicked on this random recommendation because I wanted to watch a cymbal review. Stuck around to see how far the crazy antics were going and got pleasantly surprised.
If only Wade knew I would pay actual money for weekly dedicated Boring Time. I love learning from this Dingus. He inspired me to become a drummer (I've been a guitarist for 15 years), and his passion is infectious. I've been trying to collect broken cymbals to repair cause of him lol
oh god i LOOOOOOOVED Hammerax. when I used to play drums I saw the Meanie (a gong shaped like a long face) in the drum store I went to while taking lessons and I was infatuated with the company. They made the coolest cymbals ever, they were almost like art objects. Once I bought a cymbal that had bumps on the top you could roll your stick over, and it had a really cool effect. I played that cymbal like it was a gift from the heavens, but unfortunately it cracked easily so it didn't take long for the sound to be completely ruined :( They also had a line of little stacker/effects cymbals, and for many years I had an 11" Chisel sitting on my kit until the day I stopped playing. It's got to be the thing that's been on my drum kit the longest, or maybe it's my rototoms, I dunno. Hammerax was a great company, they made some amazing cymbals, then disappeared off the face of the earth. And that's a real damn shame.
As an American, I really appreciated the conversion to hamburgers, I knew exactly how much of a truck bed would be filled by 2.46 McDonalds cheeseburgers. This then allowed me to convert space used in truck bed, to 9 MM. bullets, of which there is an approximate difference of 2; between the two cymbals of course.
One thing I love doing on servers with people in other countries is unironically working out how much an average bald eagle wingspan is, or 1/49th of a football field is, and use those, pretending those are the actual American units of measurement. The weird part is, I've fooled more than one person with that!
a cymbal that wobbly sounding would kill in psych music and super woozy jazz, but i’m honestly struggling to think of another use case where i wouldn’t prefer a more “rigid” disc for lack of a better term
you can literally hear the modulation of the tone as it flops! i've never seen a cymbal that captured that effect before. it really does sound like someone playing a saw or sheet metal
No matter how many times I was assured this thing was floppy, I still recoiled when its true power was revealed. Feels perfect for Tame Impala/Connan Mockasin style psych rock. It sounds drunk.
That tom part you just pulled out of nowhere at 8:36 was siiiiiiiick, trying to do left hand accents on the beat in a pattern like that kicks my ass lol
Hi Dank, I have to say your powers and amazing vibes have genuinely inspired me to pick up two sticks again, and while my kit is long gone,(and was always bad😂) I still have sticks and a practice pad and poor innocent objects around the house to hit and I put on a favorite drum track(Fool in the Rain in this case) and boy I felt the thing thank you😭 never stop smashing things
1:45 Were there multiple dinguses worried about the apparent lack of sleeve in the last video, or was it just me? Either way, I'm sorry I doubted you and I will wear my dingus badge with pride
I feel like this would work great in more droning lo-fi or noise rock productions. I don't think most listeners would be able to appreciate the sound was a cymbal because its kind of quiet but it would add a lot of character to a track.
It's got that wobble that sounds like it was recorded underwater. Dry yet wet at the same time is such an odd vibe, though probably perfect for playing early 70's prog rock!
I appreciate you putting the weight to measurements us Americans understand. For miscellaneous foreign audiences I have found that the 22" Hammerax Liquicy Ride weighs 0.00166 Toyota Corollas (DX 1997).
I could see the wobble after you attached it, but I bet the “motion extraction” technique Posy outlined would be useful going in the future :) it just involves duping and inverting the video, just like a phase inversion subtraction in audio. Then you also offset it by like. 1-50 frames and it highlights all the motion within the offset time frame 😊
So my uncultured view of it, is how it sound good despite being a MASSIVE WOBBLY GIMICK. It's like a joke character in a fighting game that's actually pretty high in tiers.
I can think of so many places where this would be really useful. I love thin cymbals despite not owning any (Im broke and my drums are all 20 years old and been in a shed for like 10 of those years) because of their darker sound. The dark cymbal sound fits so well with heavier styles of music that are slow and need that low, droning kinda sound.
Hammerax cymbals were always on my short list of cymbals I had to have, but I’ve never had the money or the opportunity to buy one. I loved the boomywang, and I can get a similar sound out of .020” blue tempered shim stock. The bash is the one cymbal they had that boggled my mind. Check out Andrew McCauley. He had an album where he made some really non traditional beats using the hammerax stuff called, “your brain on drums.”
I know nothing about drums - but thanks to your videos - everytime I hear music now I can't help but be extra aware of the cymbals and how they sound. Crazy.
I love most everything that was made by Hammerax, such unique cymbals and instruments - shame they went under (at least... I think they did..? Cant find much info on it, but production seems to have died down), all these are like unobtanium now (and I can't afford one...)
The video you used for Awkward Silence is extremely fitting. I mean, if I walked in a room and just saw a shirtless dude reading the paper, you'll bet there'll be some awkward silence.
its the cymbal version of wobbling a laminated sheet of paper!
Just a little round thunder sheet
@@arcaears .. My thoughts too.
Or wood as I found
And you can hear that plastic sheet shpund all the way while you play on it.
@@arcaears omg you're so right!
7:05
I love that you can *hear* the wobble. It's background hiss isn't just a hiss, you can hear the wave travelling across it.
Before that point, I already thought "this thing sounds like someone turned a thunderstorm into a cymbal"
It kind of sounds like it has a "Wah-wah" effect
It's like a regular cymbal got routed through a phaser
I hear the sound of a shell in mario kart
wowowowowowowowowo
I read the title. I was still unprepared for this degree of flopiness.
Wade whenever he send us into Boring Time: "I'm so sorry guys, it stinks, but I have to give context!"
Me when we get sent to Boring Time:" OH FINALLY, MY FAVORITE PART"
Same.
He sounds like the kind of guy to say "i'm so quirky! lol" to the most normal things
I want an entire channel of boring time
Yeah, me too! I love the boring stuff! More boring time, please!
@@Blankult tf are you yammering about?
fucking cymbal came with cave reverb pre-installed
😂 lol thats so true tho
Not even 10 seconds in and Frank's already given someone an existential crisis
Fax 😂😂
The cymbal equivalent of the Skullcandy Crushers. Is it practical? No. Is it a ton of fun? Yes.
That's not a cymbal, that's someone flopping around some thin sheet metal to make thunder noises for a school play.....
LoL😂😂😂😂
Not a percussionist (unless you count my car's steering wheel), but your floppy cymbal sounds like it's trying to do a drunk impression of a thundsrstorm. "Hehehehe guys! Listen! PSHHHHHwubwubwublubwub! Hehehehe nailed it!"
Yup. My cat hates thunderstorms, he really isn’t enjoying this video.
😂
ONly on the drum thing we use both traffic signs and pancakes as cymbals
Never in my life have I heard vibrato on a non digital percussion instrument
Edit: I forgot the vibraphone exists but still
Double edit: turns out a vibraphone is technically tremolo
Ever hear of a vibraphone?
The vibraphone has motors to turn vibrato on or off. You’re right, this is one of the only unassisted vibratos I’ve heard on a percussion instrument.
Flexatone
@@nickbarrow2805 You can get vibrato on a glockenspiel or triangle by waving
I'm glad u brought this up because vibrato and glissandos on traditionally stiff instruments is one of my favorite parts of physical modeling synthesis. Dramatic bends on bells are so strange and it's great to see one of my favorite digital techniques realized in physical space.
Hammerax makes some WEIRD cymbals. Which means lots of fun.
I’m guessing Frank says nothing.
Good job Frank.
DUDE
IT'S NOT BORING
I LIKE TO LEAAAARN STUFF

YESSS, give us all the boring bits in a one stop shop so we know what you're talking about the rest of the time.
Clicked on this random recommendation because I wanted to watch a cymbal review. Stuck around to see how far the crazy antics were going and got pleasantly surprised.
If you've never watched Wade's other channels (Dankpods, Garbage Time, Hello I'm Gaming!, Dankmus) then well, you're in for a treat!
Do you own a Daihatsu...dya want one!!?!!
The fact that you can *hear* the wobbles is so funny
Sound is just wobbly air
You can literally hear the 26" paper thin crash literally goes BONK when you hit the bell. lol
Thank you for giving us Americans proper unit conversion we can understand
Unironically I could understand what he meant.
that Frank Time screen is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen
If only Wade knew I would pay actual money for weekly dedicated Boring Time. I love learning from this Dingus. He inspired me to become a drummer (I've been a guitarist for 15 years), and his passion is infectious. I've been trying to collect broken cymbals to repair cause of him lol
These are all cuts from his stream on Floatplane, you can watch regular extra length stuff there
4:28 I really wanna see 2 of those in a set of hi hats 😂
These videos are such chaos yet little Pockets of knowledge. I LOVE IT!
Hahaha you can literally the wobblewobblewobble, I can't unhear it no matter what music it's being played with.
The wobble layer is always there.
I miss Hammerax, for the longest time I wanted to get one of those giant boomywangs of theirs but I never had the money.
Poor zildjian sign...

this is the dumbest comment ive ever read and i love it

Some say, it's still wobbling to this day.
The cymbal does the ~~~~~~~~
How do you know there's a drummer at the front door?
The knocking gets faster and they don't know when to come in.
a cymbal that wobbly sounding would kill in psych music and super woozy jazz, but i’m honestly struggling to think of another use case where i wouldn’t prefer a more “rigid” disc for lack of a better term
It has its own tape delay echo built in.
it looks like it's made out of rubber, I let out a belly laugh seeing it be hit
That symbal looks like the equivalent to playing a very stiff sheet of aluminium foil and I love it.
you can literally hear the modulation of the tone as it flops! i've never seen a cymbal that captured that effect before. it really does sound like someone playing a saw or sheet metal
Easily my most re-watched video in the whole Dankverse. Freakin' awesome.
No matter how many times I was assured this thing was floppy, I still recoiled when its true power was revealed. Feels perfect for Tame Impala/Connan Mockasin style psych rock. It sounds drunk.
His jiggling is almost hypnotic.
Yes. It's like a lava lamp.
More cymbal talk lets goooo
6:20 love how the wobbeling becomes part of the music. Might not fit every song, but could really fit some loose, wonky jazz
That 26 bell has a thunkiness to it that is very unique, I think it'd work
I can't wait for when Wayne gets around to sampling and publishing all these super unique drums and cymbals
That tom part you just pulled out of nowhere at 8:36 was siiiiiiiick, trying to do left hand accents on the beat in a pattern like that kicks my ass lol
That cymbal would be best described as *flaccid*
I love how Wade’s incorporated The Drum Thing into the floatplane streams. I do hope he keeps going with the other style of videos they’re also fun
You are such an absolute joy to watch mate.
The only thing washier to the ears is listening to a garden hose
I love it SOOOO much. Never did I think that a single cymbal would make me want to pick up the drums.
I think the song at 8:36 would sound so cool with a synth arpeggio riff on the B-natural long notes
Cosy chaos.
Also, stuff that wobbly doesn't usually work that good. Kudos to the big floppy pancake.
Hi Dank, I have to say your powers and amazing vibes have genuinely inspired me to pick up two sticks again, and while my kit is long gone,(and was always bad😂) I still have sticks and a practice pad and poor innocent objects around the house to hit and I put on a favorite drum track(Fool in the Rain in this case) and boy I felt the thing thank you😭 never stop smashing things
this is by far my favorite cymbal uve shown me. the reverb of it is so fun
The Liquicy sounds SO wobbly like "wobba bobba wobba"
1:45 Were there multiple dinguses worried about the apparent lack of sleeve in the last video, or was it just me? Either way, I'm sorry I doubted you and I will wear my dingus badge with pride
thank you for never editing out frank time, thats the mark of quality.
I really like the way it sounds. Not for gigs, but I could see that shining in some shoegazey stuff with the volume turned up digitally
I feel like this would work great in more droning lo-fi or noise rock productions. I don't think most listeners would be able to appreciate the sound was a cymbal because its kind of quiet but it would add a lot of character to a track.
I didn't think it was possible to put a wah pedal effect on a cymbal and yet here we are.
It sounds like a low bitrate mp3… it is somehow reproducing mp3 artifacts acoustically. Amazing
It's got that wobble that sounds like it was recorded underwater. Dry yet wet at the same time is such an odd vibe, though probably perfect for playing early 70's prog rock!
I appreciate you putting the weight to measurements us Americans understand.
For miscellaneous foreign audiences I have found that the 22" Hammerax Liquicy Ride weighs 0.00166 Toyota Corollas (DX 1997).
Never cared about drum stuff or cymbals. Still don't but you can make this so interesting it's wild 😂
Floppy time
that cymbal makes me so uncomfortable
“Oooh yeah, look at that floppy cymbal fly!”

So my uncultured view of it, is how it sound good despite being a MASSIVE WOBBLY GIMICK. It's like a joke character in a fighting game that's actually pretty high in tiers.
The liquid cymbal accompanys smooth songs so well. That watery sounding effect after the hit is so relaxing
I can think of so many places where this would be really useful.
I love thin cymbals despite not owning any (Im broke and my drums are all 20 years old and been in a shed for like 10 of those years) because of their darker sound.
The dark cymbal sound fits so well with heavier styles of music that are slow and need that low, droning kinda sound.
Wow, what a beautiful cymbal. I love how the wobble adds to the noise of it giving a background frequency. Really comes alive in those quieter songs
Surely something this wobbly deserves a good ol' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport"
quietness aside, this is definitely one of the coolest sounding discs you've shown so far
I love how the wobble is creating a rhythm of its own from the reverberation, really cool
Hammerax cymbals were always on my short list of cymbals I had to have, but I’ve never had the money or the opportunity to buy one. I loved the boomywang, and I can get a similar sound out of .020” blue tempered shim stock. The bash is the one cymbal they had that boggled my mind. Check out Andrew McCauley. He had an album where he made some really non traditional beats using the hammerax stuff called, “your brain on drums.”
can't believe they managed to capture the look of a guy getting slapped in the face in extreme slowmo as a cymbal
jello-ass cymbal i love it
The moment where the song unexpectedly switches gets the most Garbage Network kinda reaction we could’ve hoped for.
0:50 finally, a statement that clears the doubt clouds in my mind.
I know nothing about drums - but thanks to your videos - everytime I hear music now I can't help but be extra aware of the cymbals and how they sound. Crazy.
I thought I discovered a new TH-camr to watch... then I heard "FRAAAANNKK" and knew exactly who I clicked on
You have been the thing that has got me back into my drumming
That 26" crash is such a vibe. I'd kill to hear some ambient music with that.
It’s a cymbal with wow and flutter.
Legend has it, it's still wobbling to this day
I like how when the song started playing he looked like a grandad trying to comprehend his grandsons music
I love most everything that was made by Hammerax, such unique cymbals and instruments - shame they went under (at least... I think they did..? Cant find much info on it, but production seems to have died down), all these are like unobtanium now (and I can't afford one...)
Pat Mastelotto probably has all of them at this point.
A good sounding cymbal? Finally!
It sounds like if you combined a cymbal with a rotary speaker
I really like the new format, Wade!
It looks like a burnt crêpe, and sounds like a French band that just ate burnt crêpes.
It’s called “liquicy ride” because it looks like you’re drumming a plate made of water
Gorgeous! Must be perfect for SFX 😮
This is the kind of chaotic energy that gives me life.
Wade's cry of horror at the end is killing me
The video you used for Awkward Silence is extremely fitting. I mean, if I walked in a room and just saw a shirtless dude reading the paper, you'll bet there'll be some awkward silence.
I have an Hammerax, a 24” flat ride!
Love it, but hard to use because it sounds like a white background noise.
That thing sounds awesome, the extra wobble after the hit adds a great effect
that crash of doom actually works surprisingly well in a jazz context
The Zildjian light has perfect comedic timing with it's death
It actually sounds so good wth, I honestly think it did better than the Zildjian at the jazz
I actually kinda like this cymbol - scratch that - I love it - the 26 inch paper thin ride
