more homemade cymbals & other stuff

[swizzblade]

Nice.

[dashingjavi]

try'em on your kit

[DrumsofEternity]

Did you take the inspiration to make these cymbals or chimes, whatever, from Gavin Harrison ?

[zagyex]

@DrumsofEternity No. My father worked with sheet brass, he is a sculptor. I played the drums. so it was obivious to try.

[marcusfraserdavidson]

the one on the far left sounds the best. Reminds me of Gavin Harrison

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Very unique sounding, great job.

[TheKolBeast]

[ZePerfectionist]

The one at your left is so awesome. You should start a fucking handmade cymbal factory or something.

[q34r34t]

THESE SOUND SO GOOD!!!!! I WANT ONE! HOW MUCH?!

[JustAsWeAreDrummer]

You can tell they are homemade. They sounds like shit.

[A1m0stAw3s0me]

[jayemhellbender]

[MrGuitarhero432]

[zagyex]

@MrGuitarhero432 pretty loud, in fact a bit too loud

[Niklasnathaniel]

By God they sound amazing! You should make more or talk to Zildjian. I'm shure they would love those

[BigTexJames]

PLUS they sound insanely good

[allmetaliswelcome]

[Thehaloboy13]

[Mastervideoize]

[benjammin0666]

[zagyex]

@benjammin0666 no

[Dreva]

@zagyex lol, to the point

[Danphilp1]

@benjammin0666 No, he has to take them apart and redo the furniture before his Wife returns home

[benjammin0666]

would you sell one of those?



[drummerboycraig]

They remind me of the chimes that Gavin Harrison uses

[AlexTheDudexxx]

No Comment. Just Lol

[kevinddrummer230]

great sound...

[xdoseonex]

VERY VERY cool little cymbals your making. They sound great. You definitely inspired me to try this myself. Have you ever done any larger cymbals or have you only done small bells and effect cymbals so far?

[sweetdrums295]

How would you recommend to heat these? Like in a oven or over a fire?

[zakkah93]

They sound great! I would love to make some myself.

[linsoft23]

great!!

[dueypupboy911]

how did you make these

[dueypupboy911]

how did you make these?

[JewLoco]

My set has 21 of various brands, sizes and styles. I think yours sound wonderful.

[zagyex]

@JewLoco Thanks :)

[27pageboy]

they sound horible (no offence)

[brdane]

why did you make it small

[LudiKZ]

they sound pink floydish

[theiconoclasm]

these sound really good.

[creepymuffinboy2]

please teach me!!!

[sweetdrums295]

were did you get the metal to do this

[josshlegg]

quit it with the wuhan jokes hahaha

[joshuachan56]

The bell from the left sounds not bad :D

[AvengedSevenfold2k10]

I was rofling the whole time you were doin the little beats and shit lmfao...Thats some pretty sweet lil cymbals you made there though

[dtigers27]

The best thing to do when confronted with a cheap cymbal is to completely obliterate it.

[ipponify]

hey, thats really awsome, can you show us a video of the process of how you make them please, i know you wrote it in the description but reading isnt my favourite hobby, i would like to make some of my own, cheers. :)

[MTHDrummer]

Not the best quality, but its freakin good to be homemade

[djblaizemusic]

My bell kills all other bells... If you can, go to an antique show/ fair, try and find some one selling an old school bell, slap that on your kit.

[ham1L2Ts]

where can i download this mp3?

[Swashbukkles]

the centre cymbal looks as though it is lathed. how did you accomplish that?

[zagyex]

@Swashbukkles i have no lathe so i just put it on a handdrill, and pushed some hard metal knife against it as it spinned, then the same with polishing paper. not the best idea, but i tried :)

[rjcomising]

@zagyex but how did you put the "BOW" logo in those? tnx great job! crafty!

[jesse17ful]

can i buy a bell from u instead

it cost too much to buy one from zildjian or sabian

[zagyex]

@jesse17ful i think mine would be more expensive :) its a lot of work...

[jesse17ful]

@zagyex dam

u really do that much work?

[jesse17ful]

@zagyex oh thats why.....

[v7JaMz7v]

How do you make a bell for the cymbal? And how do you lathe?

[Peartnoy518]

Send in as an audition to work for Wuhan.

[boofoo26]

Dude i fuckin love that shit, An i bet that shit wont split.....Life time warrenty

[MADROCKS212]

heating and 'quenching' in water actually makes metals harder. if you want to make it softer you 'aneal' it by heating and leaving to cool on its own.

[zagyex]

@MADROCKS212 Actually what you say is true with steel but not all the metals. With copper (or brass) it works the other way. Strange but true ;)

[MADROCKS212]

@zagyex hmm interestinng, anyway they are nice cymbals great sound, i think you should go for a larger diameter, I think theyll sound even better..

[zagyex]

@MADROCKS212 I once made a lerger one but it broke after a few years of playing, and it took quite a long time to make it. In fact it hardly worths the work and time :)

[charol009]

what kind of ink u use?

[zagyex]

@charol009 car paint spray

[mcdrummonkey]

great video man id love to try this out but make like a 12 inch cymbal atleast it be cool if you made a how to video

[DANOA7X2009]

dude i love how the little ones on the string sound. they sound pretty kool =D

[Superandrd]

middle and far left are probably my favorites...all sound great though

[aqcr]

Those sounded like nice bells or chimes. I love the tree of cymbals on the end. I give you props for going through the process of making them

[CharybdusRage]

They all sound pretty cool, love the one on the far left though!

[DannyWDrums]

those sound funny lol

[AjaxpuffNstuff]

sounds fucking stupid1

[enzo275]

These are awesome! People pay like $300 to get cymbals like these.

[mackatash]

needs more cowbell

[zagyex]

@mackatash :)

[BOOYAH0991]

lol instant cymbals ...jus add water

[xXFind815Xx]

What did you make these cymbals out of? did you like melt old cymbals or something?

[pakiw2]

sounds like piece of metal. there is a lot if things, what i probably dislike.

[lonelyjedi19]

0:16 really nice sound i want one of these

[glitchhacker101]

they sound better than Zildjians...

[stonedkoalas301]

what did you use to heat up the brass?

[zagyex]

@stonedkoalas301 I used a kitchen gas cooker... pretty simple.

[stonedkoalas301]

what did you use to heat them up?

[atreyu101101]

these actually sound really good. surprising. xD

[DemKeytnidz]

They sound bloody awesome man.

How'd you get the lines around the edge on the middle one?

[snareplayr23]

the one in the middle kinda sounds like an istanbul bell. that's awesome man, i wanna try it myself.

[zagyex]

@snareplayr23 thx. how i made it is all in the video description.

[snareplayr23]

how do you make those?

[Stoufferthecat]

@snareplayr23 Read the description

[immaletyoufification]

The cymbals sound like tin

[yoshiskato]

how someone can make this?

[zagyex]

@yoshiskato see the description

[torturekillers2006]

Beautifully done. Great sound.

[95keeton]

what you hit at 0:17, i don't know what you'd call it sorry, how do you make it, i love the sound :]

[zagyex]

@95keeton I dont know the name either, see the description :)

[1EMERGENCE]

How in the world did you do this?

[zagyex]

@1EMERGENCE see the description :)

[adlerdiaz96]

are these for sale ?

[zagyex]

@adlerdiaz96 no.

[DeBAMreptiles]

How long did it take you? And what surface would you recommend for the second hammering part(the part to make it thinner)?

[akosk88]

hogy melegítetted fel, és hogy kalapáltad, hogy elérd ezt a formát? bocs a kérdésekért, csak itt a video alatti szöveg túl felületesen írja le ahhoz, hogy én ez alapján neki kezdjek egy sajátnak :S

bronzzal is ugyanígy működik a dolog?

[zagyex]

@akosk88 gáztűzhelyen melegítettem, amíg elszíneződik, utána vízbe dobtam. hidegen kalapáltam, gömbölyű fejű kalapáccsal. a kalapálást ki kell tapasztalni, , keress rá az "ötvös kalapálás" ra a google-n, sok kép van. sztem a bronz is ugyanígy megy, még jobb, mert nem törik annyira, de ki kell tapasztalni mindenképpen.

[akosk88]

@zagyex @zagyex köszönöm az infot, remélem nekem is sikerül összehoznom (legalább 3 próbálkozásból)

[xXFind815Xx]

they sound pretty good! nice work

[Meta1Head91]

Nice resonant bell sound. Great job.

[Musicunseen95]

these are great, when you sell them tell me. they're like trashy zil bels(thats a compliment

[joedcashen]

[zagyex]

[tttmmmnnnttt]

@zagyex

[jesussk8r1231]

lol for the first cymbal on teh right i have the same tand

[colinhammond2k7]

sabain do a cymbal called glennies bargage and its a sinnarture and it sound like yours :L

[darkworldx]

sound like I'm in some kind a temple.

[GTAtomten]

I recently made my own cymbal, i was wondering how did you write on them? would regular marker just get worn off?

[zagyex]

@GTAtomten Marker comes off, I cut out the letters (negative) from adhesive tape and sprayed through the holes with car paint.

[GTAtomten]

@zagyex Did you tape the whole cymbal then, except for the cut out letters?

[zagyex]

@GTAtomten yes. you can mask it out with paper as well, or anything else

[GTAtomten]

@zagyex Well, Thanks then =)

[Dragonwatcher2008]

how did you hammered them???

[zagyex]

@Dragonwatcher2008 see the description.

[sudamericuencano]

[NewDarkAges13]
