    The bell sounds surprisingly good. I would swap it against my (very old) Sabian bell anytime. Apart from that: I really love your videos. They offer the perfect mixture of entertainment and information and a very unique sense of humour which seems to flow naturally and spontaneously.I also like the camera angles you choose and you self-written loops/ tunes you use as background music. Many thanks for all the work!

    Loved it! I've just started cutting out some of my old cracked cymbals, and it did cross my mind to make a bell a couple of days ago, so you've inspired me to have a go! I haven't worked out the lathe part, so I might cheat on that one and find a local machine shop and pay a professional depending on the price, of course! 😅
    Wicked rhythms, man!
    Thanks a lot. Paul. Bournemouth, UK 👊

  • @timvdberge

    This is crazy, i have the exact same cymbal, also cracked everywhere and bend by the tension. It is actually my second one because i got a new one by the local store because the first one cracked after 4 weeks. Second one in 6 weeks... Last zildjian cymbal i bought, but luckily there is this channel! Might give it a try this weekend, thanks!

I have cut legs off of gel spiders now to control how much i take out of the resonance of the ring. it came in handy when i added a crappy stagg in as my bottom end tom on a pearl mid- grade set. (it is just something else to hit and with ear plugs it works for me. I had a spare 16" trashable Remo to throw on it after i went with the 360's LOL)

  • @TheApostleofRock

    Did the same with a really cracked up zbt, bell turned out pretty small (4 1/2 inches...I think) but has a nice tone to it and was fun to play around with.
