the lazer is gold, but the carlos is silver.
I'm planning on spraying my name on it

 

[drum_hobbyist]

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

If you have technical knowledge... you can figure out how it should be done... :wink:

 

[myner]

hey dh... i'm wondering if you can help me do something...
probably a hammering job...
can quote me a price?

 

[drum_hobbyist]

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)

 

[myner]

btw, i'll be loading sound files on the splash and 18" crash/ride soon.

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.

Dude, I posted an article written by a cymbalsmith earlier in the thread about hammering.

 

[joshie]

dont hammer if you dont know how, go use the time to practice your drums.

 

[myner]

actually anyone can hammer.

 

[myner]

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)

hey drum_hobbyist...
i've been wondering how you got those wonderfull hammer marks on your cymbal...

 

[marcdadrummer]

try using flathead hammers, that should do the trick

 

[myner]

even then, i've been trying to get that effect and i'm still trying.

my next mission... Lazer 12" hats.

 

[drum_hobbyist]

I used the ball of the hammerhead...

 

[myner]

Use ball-side on both or Flat on anvil side, and ball on hammer side or what.

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Ball at the hammer and flat surface... :wink:

 

[myner]

what do you use for the flat side?
flat hammer head?

 

[drum_hobbyist]

Yup...

 

[myner]

I wonder how those sabian makers get those great hammer marks on those HHX cymbals...
THEY SOUND SPECTACULAR, my ideal hammered look and hammer sound...
COME ON I NEED SO BUDGET LINE CYMBALS TO HAMMER... you know a few?
