Re: Zildjian's latest
If some of you guys are looking for hand-hammered cymbals forged in the USA, you don't have to wait for Zildjian. I'd love to make you one, or more, of my Limited Edition cymbals.
Here's an example... Thanks, Matt |

Re: Zildjian's latest
He's got a youtube video channel where you check them out. But those examples are all pretty thin so I'm guessing they probably wouldn't be your cup of tea.
I'm aware that you like your cymbals with a little more meat on the bone. |

Re: Zildjian's latest
Thanks! Since I make custom cymbals, they can sound dang near any way you want them to. Like Bill said, many of the ones I make are thin, as they tend to sell the best. However, I have guys that order more substantial cymbals, and I dig making them.
Here's a soundfile of a 22" Limited Edition that I like... [ame]https://youtu.be/BfVVK5tRhR0[/ame] Matt |

Re: Zildjian's latest
It seems this bell is slightly wider (and perhaps even just a hair flatter?) than others that I've seen you make. And I was specifically going to ask you whether you have a varied set of bell templates. It seems so. Personally that's the style I prefer because it emulates the old K. And the same goes for the broader impact hammering.

Just like the old K's from Turkey. Do you mind me asking the metals`composition ? They look more on the Copper side of Bronze. They don't have that Electrum look of the old K's. Or maybe that's simply the way you polish them. Do you make Hats ?

Re: Zildjian's latest
That actually explains a lot. The A that I have when polished is more bronze looking without a Copper huge/tint. When I polished the B8 I have from Germany, it has a very distinct Copper huge/tint. Finger prints take longer to come out on my A than the B8. Because the B8 has more Copper in it. I work with Copper, Stainless, Lead, and Aluminum a lot each year. Plumbing Copper, Sheet Copper and Flashing Copper all have different tints when polished or new. Flashing being the softest, with plumbing being the hardest. You literally can see the differences. I see a Copper tint on the surface of these cymbals we are talking about. Nowhere near as light as the A I have at any stage of oxidation.
