I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to do some basic as well as advanced training with Nick at his shop. I watched some of those various pieces of equipment you now have being installed by Nick. I wish you luck chopping up that concrete, lol! But seriously, I’m very happy to see you make use of this equipment. I hope it takes you to the next level, my brother.

I, for one, welcome our new machine overlords!

Very exciting news, Tim! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Ha! You even got his spinning table for checking flatness! It seemed silly in his shop but ever since I used it, I've really wanted my own. I'm glad you were able to at least keep his equipment in the game! Also, I played that exact NM cymbal at Maxwell's while at the Chicago Drum Show this year. It really did sound great. Such an amazing lush sparkle wash thing going on! I did what you did in your video: I hit it once and stopped and went "wow!" I'm glad it's in your collection now!

Wow what a haul!!.......so fortunate to have industry craftsman relationships like Nick. It can't be understated that the human body is finite, as you've found out. The cymbal industry is lucky to have a younger craftsman like you who's at the top of his game......but, there's only so many strikes that one's hands arms and shoulders can take, and ears as well. There's no shame in utilizing a machine like that if you can achieve the results, and if it can extend your career by another 10-20yrs. Great to hear you've got an assistant, who's learning the craft 😉👍

Glad to see the equipment go into good hands! Excited for what this will open up for you and the cymbals you will make!

Awesome news Tim! Love that MoonPie..yummy! You are the man. Always love your posts..thank you.

Dang that NM sounds incredible! Great balance between ride and crash! If you ever want to sell it let me know! 😂

Yeah man! Keep on improving keep that passion going. We love cymbals!!!

Cool to see that it went to you! I was surprised by his announcement myself. Can't wait to see what you do with the new equipment

Gorgeous ❤

Cymbalicious!!!
