"Hopefully the molecules have found their new homes" omg 😂😂
take a shot every time david says "so yeah"
I didn't hear him
You'd pull a john bonham.
Oh boy... lol
Alcohol poisoning
You better pay for my hospital bills
Wow dude, they really sound better after. They are totally usable after. Love your narration.
Holy shit man I watch your videos, you inspire me to find my own sound and not be lazy
They sound like a lighter washier 2002! Amazing.
I like the tonal quality of the beard...
Gabriel DeStellano neck beards are gay now they are waxing moustaches. even more gayer
That lathing was so satisfying.
+Drum Beats Online Indeed, I wanted to keep going but then there would be no cymbal left haha
Hi Gabe
Yoooooo Gabe!!
@@rdavidr lol
Hey by David are try to buy some Paiste hi-hats a 16-inch paiste Crash and a 20in paiste ride
the new version looks and sounds better. They sound more jazzy and mellowed
Hey I got a strange idea why not make your own custom snare wires I have no clue how they are made and I would like to see you make some.
take some springs and stretch em out?
@Uqpaa Handy No need to be a jerk.
Uqpaa Handy you’re*
Uqpaa Handy actually no it’s not.
Uqpaa Handy “ur” is a combining form you moron. Learn English
I always laugh when you say "So, yeah..." lol.
+Petar Pavasović haha i say it way to much
+rdavidr Time to trademark a catchphrase!
+rdavidr yeah... so...yeah
I just realized your anvil is half of a 20 lbs dumbbell.... that's brilliant! My cymbal lathe uses a 6:1 geared, 1HP motor and I still have the same problem of "not enough torque". You really do need a minimum of about 2 HP to get anything done without too much headache. That being said.... a 1/4 HP setup is fine for light cutting, resurfacing, removing lacquer or sand polishing cymbals. The fundamental pitch of the hats after modification is significantly lower and much darker with an "old style jazzy" B20 sound. I'm curious to see what else you've done to these... hopefully not too much because they sound pretty darn good as is!!! I just recommend using a proper cartridge respirator if you do any sand polishing because fine metal particulate dust is EXTREMELY BAD for the lungs!
+LanceCampeau haha yeah, just cut off one end, drilled a hole in the stump and plopped it in! But of course Its extremely soft. but yeah I got all the safety stuff on, ears, eyes, and respirator. I was gonna cut them up to use for something else, but I think ill wait to find another set of hats!
man they sounded so much better after, nice job
This guy is not afraid to fail, yet mostly succeeds! Congrats on ur projects
They sound good. Really like your "fuck it, im gonna do this my way" attitude. Keep it up man. Love the jam at the end too.
The closed notes definitely sound better after the rework, but I think the open hits sound a little weaker.
"I let em sit for 10 days, So hopefully the molecules have found their new homes"
Dude, you're the gangster drummer firing off rounds at your cymbals! That's a first for me to see!
I really like your video editing. You give a clear presentation between before and after that is lacking in a lot of other videos.
I'm 50 years old and I'm not a massive fan of the whole idea of the Google and internet taking over our and my every thought but this is the type of thing I find so reassuring about how people come together over projects and do third own diy projects,love it,real living,with external input👌
Cool man.. Love your vids... my buddy and I do some basic cymbal ...rehabing .. in my shop.. just cutting up broken stuff to re-use in whatever application.. But anyway.. Nice job.. those actually sound like a 1950's style hats.. the old swishy trashy sound .. even like Buddy Rich hats.. nice.
Your channel is rad man, I love that you just go nuts and experiment on everything!
Really interesting to watch plus you're a tight drummer too!
Keep up the good work and I'll try and help spread your channel with my friends!
Those sound fantastic afterwards. I really dig them.
Those hats sound BAD ASS!!! They sound like old school zildjians. Mind blown. They sound amazing!!!! Love the way they sound now!!!
Wow, what a difference! Nice job, especially considering you were learning as you went. Thanks for taking the time to make the video along with your process!
I was going to say, "Whatever hit this cymbal" - I was going to say, "looks to me like about a thirty-caliber - then I watched more of video :)
They sounded good before AND after! They sounded different, but sounded pretty good either way.
WOW!! fantastic sound after the application well done man thank you for sharing.
Ps- take those shavings and put them on your welder’s ground clamp. Makes a killer ground connection. We use wire scraps at work
Kudos on the vid David. Quality editing and... love the Starclassic's!
David campeau
Dude your videos are great! Very entertaining. They are all I've been watching for like the past week.
All that space on that cymbal and you made the world's smallest clock . Great video I'm glad someone has a workshop to do diy projects like this
I’ve been watching your videos for about six months or so now and I have to say that the one thing I consistently love is how you see (and are aware of) what people will negatively comment on, and immediately call it out before the people get a chance to comment LOL very much something I think I would do if I made videos myself! Those high hats sound sick! Way better sounding then the ones I have!
Definitely look and SOUND much better!!! Awesome job man!!!
Brighter for sure. Good job!
good job on refinishing the cymbals, great video -thanks
Do you think they sound better?
Yeah they sound a lot nicer!!
I like them lol, they sound airer to me... if that makes sense to you 😂
wayyy better
+rdavidr They sound like thin jazz hats from the 40s. Could be lucrative... !?
Darker after and darker = better
I love the new sound and a new look, the hammered look is awesome
I love the sound. They sound nice and dark
Much better now. Good job!
Great Video. There is a guy in NYC that has started doing this for people. He's making cymbals but most of his work is reconditioning cymbals. I think it's turning into a great business. Def. sounds like a ton of fun.
What a much more interesting sound post-rework! Great job!
Great job! I love that vintage trashy sound.
They sound really good!
The Sabian tour of the Master's came to town and can remember them reworking B8 cymbals(hammering/lathing) upon cymbal owners request and sounded absolutely amazing!
they definitely sound warmer. awesome
Am I the only one who thinks watching cymbal lathing is super satisfying?
they sound great! good job man
i worked on what used to be an 16"AAX after a nasty crack I traced an almost perfect circle on it with an muffler pad, i cut it by hand with some sheet metal cutters, and after that I randomly drilled about 35 1/2" holes and I love the new trashy sound it produces now. I now have a 10"splash that used to be another 16" or 18" crash that is way too ringy for my taste. I've been wanting to hammer it out to shorten the decay. I don't have the tools to lathe it out, but I'm willing to sacrifice it. thanks for a great video. i do like the sound on the after better. thanks
They sound great!
Love the sound of the reworked ones. Dry but not overly dark.
I like how they sound darker. Very interesting. Love your videos man, keep it up!
Incredible difference!!!
All hail the hypno cymbal........
Pretty cool what you did with sort of random stuff. I've been binge watching since yesterday, and subbed.
those hi hats Dave sound amazing I'd use them on my kit absolutely
Great video. They definitely sound better after you worked on them. Darker and lower in pitch. Great stuff.
love the ingenuity
probably my favourite youtuber right now! keep this stuff coming :)
sounds much more crisp. almost like a sand hat love it
probably my favorite channel at the moment. I love you. : )
Regrardless of the sound..the drumming, drum playing is excelllent!
Damn dude sick ass video, great music too! Interesting to watch, wish i had a workshop like that so i could experiment aswell :) Great Job !
They look so amazing 👌👌👌 good job
There's something so satisfying about lathing a cymbal
You're vids are awesome!!! Love em dude!
I like how they sound after the rework, bright and trashy... excellent for Funk and Jazz.
Nice work with that homemade lathe and tool. Overall, the project is an Awesome job!
It's like a crispy sound, not bad!
Bruh, loving the incorporation of the hammering sound to introduce the next song
They look cooler after, and it looks like you had fun!
They sound like my B20 Dark hats.But more cutting and crashy.Nice job!
I would love to see you make/ work on more cymbals!!!
That groove is so tight
I think they look A LOT better! The sound is more of a preference because they're too distinctly different sounds but I would take the after's anyday
Love it David. Those have Sabian Artisan hat sound. Those would be perfect for jazz or a auxiliary hi hat. Great work.
I love your experiments
Sweet groove!
I love all the little corrections you do in your vids haha
Good job, they do sound good
I love what you're doing
why do I find this so relaxing
much better yeah. good job David
Not sure if it sounds better, but it sure looks nicer! So shinyyyy 😍
Cool groove!
I hooked my cymbol up to a drill, then used a vice to clamp down a sharpening stone to work the edge. Worked very well.
For videos like this i support u with all my family from mexico, great rDavidr♡
That "washy" after sound is actually cool. :)
I didnt realize how much the hi-hat changes the mood of the whole kit. Also, I like the after result. It sounds more clean
7:41 They are not B8's anymore, they are artisan sabians right now!
They sound like 60's to mid 70's vintage hihats. Nice! I liked both sounds (before and after) and it would depend on what style you are playing as to what is more appropriate. Modern cymbals tend to be on the heavier side now with a more metallic sound...even the "vintage" reissues.
These sound great actually
i think they are sounding even better then last time
A few years ago I tried to re-forge a pst 5 hi hat but I did not have the right hammer and anvil. Now I have a tool that would make the right hammer out of the ordinary and I remembered again about this idea
STANDING OVATION I HATE B8 but you really inspire me in a start a bisne in Mexico. you get it
Almost has a nice K/Z dry sound after. Nice!
Came out pretty good.
I like the treatment you did on them. Not so “ brassy” sounding, more darker. Nice work!
Hey man... that was really cool of you to show everything there.... I like your thinking process there.... i was the drummer with Pink Hearse until this week... a female fronted horror punk band here in UK.... i'm ALWAYS breaking cymbals..... Good few ideas you gave me there dude..... thanks for posting this...:-)
and yeah.... it's up to the person playing and those listening to decide if they sound good......not the factory they came from..... i STILL have cymbals that sound 'better' by being cracked/damaged.... don't use them much because they are fragile now but they sound 'cool as tits'
Excellent , le son du Hihat est super ! Bravo.........;
I thought the opposite, dull before,bright after. They sound better though! Awesome video!!!!
I really like how they look, i definitely would like to lathe a few of my cymbals. The sound after rework is not exactly my thing but they are for sure a nice set of dark hi-hats.
Now they sound more like K-Custom Dark hats that I used to have. Good stuff man.
personally i like the brighter sound better, i dont know why i just do. but i do love watching these videos and watching you work on things.
