Hammering cymbals

[myner]

darn so that means that cymbal is dead?
DARN!!! IT WAS A GOOD CYMBAL!

 

[drum_hobbyist]

It must be your hard hitting...

 

[myner]

it was like damn explosive cymbal. doesn't really cut through alot. but when played on its own. or for an accent. WOAH IT WAS FANTASTIC.

 

[marcdadrummer]

dont fret mate... there are local shops which does welding... anyways, if it was a good cymbal, why go bash it with some ol hammers??

 

[myner]

it only became explosive after hammering

hey everyone this are my sound files for my 2 hammered crashes

Sorry for the lag... i don't know why but whenever i load my drum files on youtube the audio video always lags.

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Sounds good to me... next time record the cymbal sound before and after hammering to make a comparison...

 

[myner]

i'm trying to scout around for more carlos stock cymbals
mel80 told me that nigel at drum resource has a few awhile back..
i'm gona check today if he still does have them.

 

[joshie]

they have tama stagestar cymbals.could try that too.

 

[myner]

the stagestar cymbals are really thin right... no good to hammer... later hammer and crack
I LOVE MY CARLOS 16"... too bad its cracking!

 

[kanzer]

haha funny thing is tt calos cymbals sound not bad.. haha

i know it isn't exactly cymbal hammering but i remember seeing a pic of a pair of hi hats with round pieces of metal on them. kinda like riveted on. can someone explain what are those, the after effects and how to go about doing them?

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Are you refering to this?

 

[myner]

cymbal stacks...
personally i don't like cymbal stacks... too choked...

 

[weckl-x]

Well, they were designed specifically to meet the needs for drum'n'bass and jungle scene. Very specialist cymbals imho. I like the drumbal, damn cool effect.

[drum_hobbyist]

Works well with me as a secondary hihat... 8)

 

[flam]

haha managed to find the exact pic. actually i was talking abt this..

whats the diff between this and the cymbal stack?

 

[drum_hobbyist]

It is a different method but the principle is the same... the stack is the sizzling of two cymbals... while the hihats from the said photo has 4 pairs of jingles sizzling when played... both are considered effects cymbals... 8)

 

[flam]

gee.. thanks for the reply. and would it be easy to go about creating something like that?

 

[myner]

hey guys, i recently bought a 10" lazer splash.
I've converted it to a CHINA splash! Wooohooo!!

Btw, i've figured that my 16" carlos ain't gona last. so i've focused my hammering on my 18" crash/ride
I polished the cymbal, but left the bell... has a HHXplosion crash look HAHA.
