I hope he comes back soon its been 2 months i am really loving watching people mod these cheap temu spec cymbals its a niche im really invested in i was see him do this stuff to the 20 inch cymbals on temu that are like 23 24 dollars
Got a new video in the works right now! The Hand Hammered Sabian B8 Ride cymbal is next, hoping to have it up next week. In the meantime any suggestions for future videos are much appreciated. 🤟
Thanks so much! I was pleasantly surprised with the results. And I agree, they definitely have a unique trashy quality to them. It's been a fun project to work on. In the next video, I might try heat treating them, very curious to see how it effects the sound.
Brass cymbals make good ozone crashes too! I have one 20 inch brass ride, with some custom work on it, it's a thick Meinl with a pretty unique sound, dry pingy..
I did a similar thing with a crappy cymbal but I drilled 1 1/2" holes around it uniformly and it turned out to to sound like an expensive china cymbal.. sounds great
you can put a little fold on an edge if you want a muting tone and a little bit more sizzle. or get a welding rod and fire it on that cymbals to add more muting, it wont wore off easily just sand it properly
I've done this many times....Sometimes you create a gem.I had a 16'' crash that all my drummer friends wanted.A $10 flea market cymbal...I finally gave in at a $100 offer.....I hammered it and put 2 rivets in it...A great effects cymbal......Ralph Onofrio
I actually did in the first video if you feel like checking it out! But will be working on a second set of them in future videos soon! Definitely want to make some bigger ones. 👍
It really just depends on the tone you are looking for. The size of the hammer, how much it is used, and how hard you hit all make a huge difference. Still currently experimenting to determine the differences with each technique. With the cymbals in this video, I was trying my best to neutralize the aggressive high pitched overtones / harmonics and drop the pitch. So I worked on them a bit more than most cymbals would probably need.
To be honest, it’s just the standard, poplar wood snare that comes with the Pearl Roadshow drum set. (Pearl’s cheapest line) I’m using the stock heads, tuned really high on both the top and bottom heads. Makes the rimshots very resonant, and the snares highly responsive.
Oh interesting! I was genuinely wondering about that. The cymbal listings just said "brass alloy", but gave no further details. Also, thank you for your advice about top hammering and bottom hammering on the last video. Very useful info!

@@SynthRay ive already made alot of suggestions lmao i don't know if you want any more from me lmao
They seriously sounded great for the context you used them in. Kinda trashy in a warm, and seemingly purposeful way.

The handhammered 18" sounds insaneeee!!
Dope playing too yo!
Hey! Thanks so much. Really glad you liked the video. I agree, the difference with the 18" was wild. Cheers! 🍻
MASSIVE difference dang!
Nah breakcore tightness on acoustic drums with $13 cymbals is crazy
😂
That’s a quality tinkle
So that's where midi cymbal sounds comes from
I like your style of drumming!
Hey! Thanks so much! 🍻
Each of those became usable!
good lord that’s such good drumming. would love to hear more
Channel is underrated asf, subbed and hope it grows
Thank you so much! Got plenty more on the way. 😎
Wow! Great video

Good job! 👍
Incredible content delivery and the quality of the content is great too. Hope your channel grows a ton!
Damn you are one of the better drummers ive seen on youtube!!
I did a similar thing with a crappy cymbal but I drilled 1 1/2" holes around it uniformly and it turned out to to sound like an expensive china cymbal.. sounds great
thank you. been thinking about modding a few of my junk cymbals. i think it's the way to go.
Necessity is the mother of invention. The cymbalsmith from Reverie drum company may have some hammering tips. Dig your playing brother.
you can put a little fold on an edge if you want a muting tone and a little bit more sizzle. or get a welding
rod and fire it on that cymbals to add more muting, it wont wore off easily just sand it properly
Also do a video on the sound of pliers vs hammer to test if they sound different

Could you explain the rivets?
oehhhh i like those sounds, sounds great for like heavy wail cymbals
Lovely playing
Really Cool Video Thanks for some advice
….how.
They said you can tune a drum, but you can’t tune a cymbal. This guy has just proven ALL of them wrong.
Amazing what you can achieve with a hammer and some perseverance.
For sure! And so glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day today. 😎
Legend!
Way cool!
great video, algorithm commenting so i can see more of these!
Very interesting results! I actually did it on my "trash stack" made out of splashes and I still use it! It is not that hammered though. Subscribed 👊🏻
I like your ghost notes more
Good job!
Ur drumming is nice
sick man keep it up!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Stack 'em up.
Is that a Roadshow? Sounds good.
Yep! This is the Jazz / Bop version of the Pearl Roadshow. Excellent little kit for the price.
this is awesome
Do the hi hats next!!
I actually did in the first video if you feel like checking it out! But will be working on a second set of them in future videos soon! Definitely want to make some bigger ones. 👍
Thanks for the video
Well that’s gonna earn a sub
Hey! Thanks so much for subscribing! Will have a new video out Next week. 🤟
Interesting
I guess is it possible to polish a turd! Nice work
😂😂😂
Nice one... Now if only I hadn't ruined my cheap cymbals trying to bend them into a smack stack haha
Sera posible mejorar unos sabian B8?????
skvelé video
is hammering a cymbal as simple as taking a rounded hammer to it or is it a more complicated process than that?
It really just depends on the tone you are looking for. The size of the hammer, how much it is used, and how hard you hit all make a huge difference. Still currently experimenting to determine the differences with each technique.

what snare are u using?? ive been searching for that sound for months!!
To be honest, it’s just the standard, poplar wood snare that comes with the Pearl Roadshow drum set. (Pearl’s cheapest line) I’m using the stock heads, tuned really high on both the top and bottom heads. Makes the rimshots very resonant, and the snares highly responsive.
Good mods aside, I see a computer tucked away in the shelves and that is in fact, the computer prop from CSGO it was modeled after.
The still kinda sound awful on there own. But are for sure serviceable now for specific types of set ups.
Dude, you got some chops. I play bass and keys if you wanna try a collab sometime?
Hey! Thanks so much, that would be fun. Just checked out your channel and do some really cool work on those guitars. 🤟
Dude this is cool as fuck
Before both sounded godawful. After they sounded kind of okay. That's like 5000% improvement!
niceee
Its unlikely those are brass cymbals, but rather copper plated steel with a polyurethane coating.
Oh interesting! I was genuinely wondering about that. The cymbal listings just said "brass alloy", but gave no further details. Also, thank you for your advice about top hammering and bottom hammering on the last video. Very useful info!
Nice try, good drum kit commanding
bro casually has the St Anger snare
Almost sound like a china now
From trash to deeper trash
You totally shouldn't buy one of those cheap kids snare drums and floor toms to use as part of a drum set oh and use the cheap cymbals please
I didn’t think it was possible but those cymbals sounded worse than the hairesis cymbals I got on Amazon (I’m poor 🥲)
