wow myner.. tts a hell of a good polish.. help me polish too haha..! so shiny..

the lazer is gold, but the carlos is silver.
I'm planning on spraying my name on it :D
 
hey dh... i'm wondering if you can help me do something...
probably a hammering job...
can quote me a price?
 
myner... that is what I call thinking outside the box... do it the unconventional way... you should try using the coated drumhead on the snare side of your snare drum... that is unconventional and the sound is great... 8)
 
i was experimenting around with some of my lousy cymbals, and i was thinking, how do u guys hammer it exactly... Like where do you place the cymbal, then start hammering and how do u shape it for example into the china style? sorry i'm a noob at hammering... lol

if you want to, i can record a vid once and show you. but i have no cymbal that needs extensive hammering for now.

if you want. i help you hammer lorh... then record for the ease of everyone.

Yup... done it on a 10" splash branded ZYN from England years back. Got it for $25 from Swee Lee. It sounded uniquely oriental... 8)
