e' un sacrilegio modificare uno spizzichino!

I would take issue with a smith or company calling a cymbal for example "the Tony Williams signature model" but don't have any issue with it being labelled a "tribute" at all. 2 very different things.

Awesome!!! I’ll take that 1st landmark! :-)

Does Roy Haynes know about this cymbal?

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 ! Great sound, big improvement.

Your description of the big and ugly sabians is my general impression of sabians in general. Paragons and that Omni ride maybe excluded.

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

How much would that cymbal set me back? dm me!

I'm so in love with the sound of these cymbals. Congratulations on making such a beautiful sounding cymbal.

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

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

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

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

Cymbalicious!!!

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 😉👍

Gorgeous ❤

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.

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

I, for one, welcome our new machine overlords!

I liked better before the final tweak. But I guess is just preference. There’s a frequency now that I find a little bit unpleasant to my taste. But again, is just my preference, the work you do is really incredible. 👏👏👏👏

I can’t choose o e? 😮😮😊😊

I know you reached out to Tim Metz about his old k, which also sounds great, but if you could, you should reach out to Rick Dior, another great RUclipsr. he has a 21” old stamp that sounds absolutely incredible. It sounds a lot like Tony Williams ride on some of he recordings, I’d love to see your take on it

Okay but I’m just angry and frustrated in that this isn’t mine nor will I be able to get it😢❤☮️

Wooooooow, it has it all! I love the dry crispy hiss seamlessly transfering into a gongy deep crashing❤❤❤

Great cymbal, amazingly complex for a flat ride, and the sugar on top is its crashability. Visually appealing as well…great work, guys! Really enjoyed this video, thanks Timothy.

... And so has the world's best cymbal company started 😊

This cymbal sounds so nice, I can really hear both you and Dave C in it. It’s kind of your shimmer and Dave’s breath.

Damn… just DAAAAMN! That is so tasty! Lush, complex, just enough dampness but DRY! I love it.

One of the best flat ride I`ve ever heard!

This one was a treat to play in person at the Chicago drum show

Three cymbal-smiths, no cup

Wow...outstanding. Kind of hybrid. Very woody, A great medium tone that sounds like a 1960 K but better. Just short enough of the stick definition. Multiple tones. All very nice.

Finally, a flat ride I’d actually play!

Pat Metheny should buy it and lend it to all his drummers.

Man, whoever bought this is lucky AF. An absolute 💎

Guess I’m a “true freak of cymbals” then. 😂 The end result sounds absolutely incredible! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. (Pun intended) Cool to get insight into the process. Probably very special for you all to share techniques and info.

They should really be called no bell rides as they aren't flat.

For a flat ride, it's great. The crash is full and explosive. Great to see the collaboration from 3 masters of this special craft. Great post Tim!

Fantastic video! So interesting

This is the nicest sounding flat ride I've ever heard. Great stick sound, sweet musical wash underneath, and the crash playability is outstanding. So many flat rides have this annoying high end ringing in a small band of frequencies, that make the cymbal sound like a cheap cell phone ringtone. This one is the gold standard for flat ride cymbals, I would say!

Really enjoyed this one Timothy! What a great idea to collaborate! The final product is beautiful. It's nice to see a flat ride that is crashable. More of these in the future? 😃

Hey there! I'm inspired by your videos, and currently trying to construct my own cymbal lathe, could you give me some tips, please ? For example, what kind of motor should I use ? What are the best rotary speed parameters I need to look for ?

These are awesome

Love this conversation. Met Matt at PASIC last year and such a great person and wealth of learned wisdom.

I think they sound awesome on their own. It would be great to hear them in some musical context, but they way I see them now is they have the perfect blend of complexity, crispiness, darkness, and dryness.

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal and a hi hat in a souped up tempo

Ask yourself the following question. Have you ( or anyone you know ) ever walked out of a club or concert and said " Gee, the music was great but the cymbals really sounded bad ?". Of course you haven't, because no one really notices or cares. In most must music the tone, ping, light or dark of the cymbals makes absolutely no difference. Note to drummers: Your cymbals will neither make nor break you. It's how you play not what you play on.

Hi..you make awesome cymbals this is lovely..but I do generally go for extra thin ride cymbals..I think I need to contact you to make me a thin 20' ride ..I know I can rely on your skills..what drums are you using..

AMAZING WORK SIR...!!! 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍
