CSI Workshop Redux!

Cymbal Sound Improvement Workshop
(Transforming Under Rated Cymbals To Unique Sounds)

Do you, do you really want to:

1) Pimp your budget cymbals into better sounding pieces of musical wonder?

2) Want to get creative with drilling and "play doctor" to save your wrecked metals?

3) Saw your not-so-good-sounding hi-hats and turn them into unique "Ninja Hats"?

4) Test out the different exotic and modern sounds of a wide variety of cymbals?

5) Just hang out and enjoy the sweet cacophony of people testing out cymbals and talking at the same time?

Then come join us this coming Hari Raya Haji where our very own cymbal doctor/master cymbal-smith, aka drum_hobbyist, will show us a trick or two or many at his sweet abode in Jurong.

Date: December 20 (Hari Raya Haji)

Time: 10am - 1pm (can go to nearby coffee shop for lunch)

Venue: Home of drum_hobbyist (near IMM, nearest MRT Jurong East)

See details of previous workshop:

Leave your name. Further details will be PM-ed to the attendees when the date is nearer. The group can meet up in Jurong East MRT first, do the secret handshake and then jollily head toward CSI HQ together like BFFs that we are.

PS:- Bro DH - I have a 20" Paiste Ride that I wanna pump 2 holes onto it (will bring my own Bosphorus Rivets there also) - hope I can make it to more of a Jazz-Ride Kinda sound - can help me?

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Eric... no prob... that is what this gathering is for...

 

[plainsman]

fu man.. my stuff might be a bit of problem (not sure how much time it take)

- i want to make the keyhole of the 3 pair of wuhan china bigger.

- then need to seek your advice, wld drilling holes on each of them be a good idea to keep the sound open for customisation (ie. play with rivets and without)

if it take too long, maybe i come find u another time, or just do on a few first.

thanks for organising this!!!

 

[killerbee]

I just heard Alvin's cymbals (that are drilled by Fuman) yesterday.

ZOMG! They sound so sexy!

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Alfie... no prob... should have enough time... will get another driller so we all can do the stuff simultaneously...

Killerbee... will drop by the Lab and listen for myself... i can imagine the sound already...
