This is so incredibly generous of you to share this information!! I hope one day to buy one of these. We just a new baby boy, so maybe a little more down the road. Cheers
Man, it's great you can share the ways that the various aspects of the material and show one shapes it and works it to achieve different sounds. As a player, it's just more understanding of the instrument that I can integrate into my practice, if not cymbalmaking, which I've never done. Though you do make it look like time very well spent. Thanks!
How about the funky tune playing! Can't wait to see the lathing process. That's my favorite! I love the fact that there are so many different techniques and methods and tools to use when lathing to help get a certain sound. Plus you get to see that beautiful bronze come through!!
wonderful video. questions: 2:40 when you hammer the border of the bell, is it to mark where to hammer? or by hammering the border, the bowl shape is limited to the hammered border? 6:05: pressed bell. can't you hammer the top side to make the profile lower? to adjust the height of the pressed bell to a lower profile?
By hammering the border, I basically contain how the metal stretched to that point. It helps keep the stretching of the bell limited to my desired size. With cold formation, it's not possible to go "backwards", ie. hammer a shape lower (for the most part). A pressed bell can't have it's shape reversed.
Does hammering your bell, make the metal thinner? Could you stamp your your bell with a big dye piece and have it done in one shot and have more metal you mentioned sound affected by the shape. What about sound affected by the hammering
Yes, the hand-hammering stretches the material into the desired shape and thins the metal at the same time. The pressed bells are done with a dye, which is definitely easier, but the sounds produced are wildly different. Hand-hammered bells are darker and slightly drier (in general).
I use a variety of hammers, but in this video I'm using a traditional Turkish style hammer. I'm constantly adjusting my angles and force to get the movement I want in the metal.

Thanks Jay! Glad you dig it man!

Thanks Brent! Coming next week!
@Reverie_Cymbals_Drums It's a highlight of my Friday every week!! Can't wait!
you ever considered making wide lip chinas?

Nice. By the way, does hammering affect your drumming?
yes, very much so. My fine motor skills are basically shot after a few hrs of hammering.

What hammer(s) are you using in this? How hard are you striking?
I use a variety of hammers, but in this video I'm using a traditional Turkish style hammer. I'm constantly adjusting my angles and force to get the movement I want in the metal.
Can I donate my 20” Meinl classics customs ride. It sounds awful and I hate it. Maybe you could make good use of it
