You've ennobled those rifle cartridges more than they should ever deserve. I'm unsure if you know, however, the heating process is called "annealing". This will allow the stresses built up in the hammering process (work hardening) to release a bit and allow the metal to recrystallize and realign, making the metal less brittle (hard vs. tough).
@CatabductionsAnoymАй бұрын
What about using some cotter keys? They arent as flat on one end, but can bemd the same way. These rivets look brass colored.
@CollingwoodcymbalsАй бұрын
These are brass plated steel. Cotter keys would be worth trying, not sure the shape of them would provide enough sizzle, but maybe with some manipulation! Split pins (stationery supplies) can work well too, and are very easy (& cheap) to add and remove.

And here I was stuck thinking that stacks were made by bending the cymbals into shape ... This really was a "whhhhaaattt" moment for me, really had no idea they were lathed!! Would you please go into more detail into the procedure for the same? hopefully in another video
@CollingwoodcymbalsАй бұрын
Generally they're not lathed, mostly hammered on one side so the metal buckles into the desired shape. I came up with this idea after thinking a lot about how hammering and lathing can be used in similar ways to influence shape / strength and, as far as I'm aware, nobody else at the time was making stacks this way. I know a few do now as I've taught this method through my Patreon! Maybe some companies do use bending / rolling, I couldn't say for sure. Another video digging deeper into how and why this works is a great idea!

I almost sent a couple old B8 cymbals to Bruno Schell to make his fire magic on them, but then decided to try and sell them as they are. One of them is a Zildjian ZBT Plus, so I figured it would lose value if he messed around with it. But yeah, he really burns them up and they come out with a great sound.

My ride is a thick brass old meinl meteor, better than the newer meteor cymbals. i mostly play metal so it works well for me, good stick definition, short sustain especially since i have 2 moongels on the underside of it, and a nice sounding bell in my opinion. Totally useless crashability on it, but i have a 18 inch aax explosion crash which i use as a left side jazz ride, i might try putting a sizzle chain on the aax crash sometime

@Collingwoodcymbals7 ай бұрын
Cheers! I apply "medium" force, if that's any help? Anything too light and it won't deform the metal enough, and digging in like crazy can take things too far. Saying that, it can be good to apply a different force to each cymbal in the stack to control the deformation and make sure they sit nicely together, so maybe more force on the bottom one, least force for the top. Also, I sometimes adjust force as I work on a single pass depending on how I want to alter the shape... honestly, once you start digging into this craft it gets wild!
