Hello guys,
In August I saw Linkin Park and Incubus live at the Honda Civic tour, and again on TV. I saw on the left if his crash on the left (wierd statement) was an electric cymbal. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks.
 
How did the electric cymbal look? Like a regular cymbal with wires coming off it?

Your question reminds me of Amon Düül II's 1969 album Phallus Dei (great album, BTW), on which drummer Dieter Serfas is credited as playing "electric cymbals." Given the technology of the day, I assume that Serfas's cymbals were amplified with contact mics, but I have yet to confirm this... Perhaps something similar was done in the setup you saw?
 
I stage manage Rock am Ring in Germany & the last time they were on my stage I think he was using the smartrigger type, they are real cymbals ...
dont know if they are any good though

It looked kind of like a Gen-16 cymbal, but I dot think it is.
