Alright so in addition to TIG welding cracked cymbals, I have recently ( in the last week or so) started trying to re-hammer cymbals to do my bidding. Here are my normal playing hats. Top hat is a "marathon" brand cast N12 alloy top hat, the bottom was a Sabian B8 pro medium bottom. I love these cymbals together, but thought i could get more out of them.
So today i re-hammered the B8 pro bottom into my own version of the "sound edge" style of hat. 16 total "ripples". I started off with just 8 "sound edges", but the top hat was to dominant, seemed like the bottom hat was not getting enough action, so I added 8 more "edges" to get more contact between the two hats. Worked liked a freakin charm, OMG these hats are bad ass. I'll get a sound file up soon, here are some pics.
