the point of making music is to create sound, i really dont see why people dont consider this drumming when its a percussive instrument and you make sound with it
Awesome? You're damaging your cymbal everytime you do that not to mention that music wise...I doesn't help for anything...if u can incorporate that sound to your music you should change the type of music you play
And for the record, cymbals are made in a certain way for a reason, the fact THAT YOU CAN do stuff like this to the cymbal, does not mean it's meant to be done this way. YOU wanna do it, be my guest, but I think, THINK, that it's a cool sound, it's not drumming though.
What?! You mean to say that if you play progressive, experimental, or avant-garde music, you're wrong? I love this technique, personally. Leave the guy alone.
In concert band we had to do this in a song, so yes it can be incorperated for certain parts. It really doesn't hurt the cymbal,because we did this for a song,but it might if your sticks where covered in steel wool! lol
It's a cool trick, I use it alot. Watch so you don't "scratch" the cymbal too hard as you might harm the cymbal in the process. Thick cymbals should be okay though...
Cool sound, man. Check out Helmut Lachenmann. He's got some cool sounds, too. Keep experimenting!

I think hitting the cymbal as you would normally do does more damage than that. It's probably more damaging to the stick.
It's a cool sound effect. It doesn't have to be "incorporated" into music.
You basically just insulted percussion.

So critiscism is the best fuel....
Good thing percussion doesn't have feelings...so.

indeed, the 101's can take quite a beating. I play on Stagg DH so my cymbals are a little thinner. They sound great though.
