Dear Bros/Sis
I think at this (Drums-How To) Section, now that DXS Members had grown and that we needed more Activities besides Drumming. It will be great, if we will now have our own - Hand-Hammering & Re-Creating Cymbal Thread & DXS Workshop for this. Drum_Hobbyiest which is our most experience in this Area, please head this Thread...Thank You.
The idea came about, during our CSI meetup at Fu Man home and during the Committee-Meeting. Let's try our best to create - A Small DXS Permanent Workshop (if it can be done in 2008 for DXS Members) - to do your own Hammering, and Re-Creating Cymbals with a Sound Of Your Own Preference. However upon hammering & lathering or oxidising, Cymbals have to look good too, No - but better in fact.
However our weaknessess here is really a lack of this kind of knowledge.
I hope this Thread will pool our ideas and resources of gathering valuable information altogether (Let me think about the $$$$$ Part) later on (I will try my best) to see how we can purchase Anvil, Lathering Machine etc for DXS by 2008, once we get the correct Knowledge in place .... though it's an activity here to have fun in drumming
DH, please head this Thread and we need contribution from all DXS and Soft Drummers here to get this initiated...or maybe get Accent to write to Bosphorus (let both of us go there next year and work at Bosphorous for 5 days to gain a Hand-Ons experience on just Hammering & Lathering - of course we pay through our own pocket for this trip flight) ---- hehehe as suggested by you.
Meantime, let's try this out 1st -
PS: - We need some Pictures of
(1) The Type Of Anvil Used for Hammering Cymbals - What about Hammer and other Tools needed.
(2) The Lathering Machine For Cymbals. (it's not a Too-Big-One I know)
(3) A Diagram for Hand Hammering (I understand from my limited knowledge - that there is a certain Pattern to follow in Hammering)
(4) Oxidising Agent - (Leave that to me) - They are very Combustable Solution most of them. Dangerous.
For now - Info, Info Info on anything pertaining to Cymbal Hammering & Recreation.
PS; - I have wrote to Johan of Belgium to come help us out at this Forum (I hope he would).
Cheers !
