    bruh why are you hammering that in your lap set that on the ground lol. My highschool band used to hoard all the broken cymbals in our schools band room and stack them up, skys the limit with this stuff if you like weird short clappy clangs, you can sett a splash on a crash, you can take 2 broken cymbals and wrap the broken bits around eachother so it deadens at that spot, stack 3 or more, all kinds of fun.

    I just saw Magdalena Bay live the other day and their drummer Nick Villa had a super sick sounding custom stack that looked like 3 cymbals sealed tight with several pieces of metal.

    Brass kind of sucks with cymbals, although I took a meinl brass ride, heavy and sanded it some then added hammering, and i loved the DRY after effect, still use it on drum set! If it helps, I had used a bench grinder, but you can also use sandpaper of driller to custom cymbals for your liking. Wear safety equipment.
