    The bell sounds surprisingly good. I would swap it against my (very old) Sabian bell anytime. Apart from that: I really love your videos. They offer the perfect mixture of entertainment and information and a very unique sense of humour which seems to flow naturally and spontaneously.I also like the camera angles you choose and you self-written loops/ tunes you use as background music. Many thanks for all the work!

Last zildjian cymbal i bought, but luckily there is this channel! Might give it a try this weekend, thanks!

    You're cool David. Congrats on topping 62,000 folks who like your ideas. I have cut legs off of gel spiders now to control how much i take out of the resonance of the ring. it came in handy when i added a crappy stagg in as my bottom end tom on a pearl mid- grade set. (it is just something else to hit and with ear plugs it works for me. I had a spare 16" trashable Remo to throw on it after i went with the 360's LOL)
