[COLOR="DarkRed"]But no more so than a drummer who would actually keep a 22" AZCO swish for 25 years electricit :o[/COLOR]
I agree - the worst part is that it's not even a real AZCO®, it's a factory second... all it has is a "S" stamped on it, nothing else. I always figured the "S" stood for "second", but maybe it stands for something else? Hmmm...
This thread is making me feel like writing them! I would like to thank Jaye for understanding where I'm coming from. I don't why this question has brought out the arrogant cranky responses, I was looking for real experiences, either good or bad. Where's the fun and adventure? It's kind of funny and sad at the same time. I just thought with this site, I would have seen posts on the actual experience (again, good,bad, or no difference) than, well, you can read the responses. Kooky.
I hear what you're saying. It's probably that no one has shown any proof for what comes off initially as an odd idea. So I'd say do it, document it well will pics and sound files and then post them. The amount of responses seems to indicate people are interested.
Burying it would have to do something because it would corrode the surface. The trouble I have is, that's the last thing I'd want! Typical cymbal aging doesn't seem to be that, it's more internal I'd think. And playing them for sure works out some awkward vibrations.
