what should be done.

14 " paise 101 hats and 18" 101 ride, no cymbals no stands. i feel like modifying the ride. how do you guys do it just drill thro it? hand hammering? just take hammer and whack? i'm actually fine with the hats, hoping to maybe upgrade soon. the ride i want to sorta improve the sound. or something.

suggestions? and if anyone got cheap cymbal stands or boom stands pm me. sad. no crash, no splash, no china. got cowbell tho haha.

What genre of music you are playing? Then can suggest what can be done for the 18"...

hey bro, i don't have experience hammering cymbals but you could check around, esp cymbalholic forums for some ideas and experience.

btw DH bro, this link might interest you, not sure if you've seen it before tho. it's a guy called Johan who hammers his own cymbals, and he's making money (quite a lot actually) out of it. pretty informative, esp because he shares his knowledge with everybody
