Sujet de la discussion Hand-hammering and re-creating cymbals
Hello !

Sorry for writing in English but my French is terrible. I understand it a bit but I can't write it.

I am a Belgian drummer from Bruges who also hammers cymbals.

I once started hammering cymbals because (to me) no modern factory made cymbal has the "old Turkish K Zildjian" kind of darkness and complexity anymore.

I hammer pro- and also some non-pro-level factory cymbals into much richer sounding cymbals.
Besides creating light complex jazz cymbals, I also hammer heavier rock-oriented cymbals to dramatically enrich the sound.

The cymbals I've hammered can be seen and heard on this INDEX PAGE. Mind you, I have hammered most of these cymbals to suit my personal taste (dark and trashy) but I can also brighten the sound of cymbals with a different hammering method.

Some "before and after modification" files can be heard HERE.

Some student cymbals I hammered into professional cymbals can be listened to HERE.

Here are some pictures (the soundfiles can be found on the site).

This was a Paiste Signature Power ride, hammered to sound like the old 60's Tony Williams ride, but a little heavier:




This was a Zildjian ZBT 20" ride, now a very complex thin professional jazz ride.


This was once a Paiste 2002 22" ride:



Here's a "before and after" pic of a cheap 16" Headliner crash cymbal, now a professional dark thin crash:

Heel mooï... Jammer heb ik geen echte drumkit (slechts V Drums)...
I denk ook dat je een goed website moet hebben om uw buziness te ontwikkelen.

Ok je dirais plus rien dans la langue de Vondel :mdr:

En tout cas c'est fameux son boulot... J'ai fait écouter les sons à mon collègue ce midi et il trouve que c'est extra...

Faudrait qu'un bon webmestre se dévoue pour faire un super site pour ce super artisan pcq là c'est un peu le boxon.

Je ne te le fais pas dire, son commerce a une grosse demande potentielle, mais si ça risque de ne pas plaire aux gros tôliers du marché lol

Hello Johan...

As just discussed in french in the past few messages, you really should invest in a good web site.
Your existing one is a bit "quick and dirty" made :oops:
Depends if you wan't to turn this hammering passion into a professional activity (I think you should)

-----------

but once again, your hand-hammered cymbals look terrific, and sound the same way ! :bravo:
