Matt Nolan Custom : Bronze and Stainless Steel Cymbals Demo

[myjumpsuit]

You should sell multi-velocity samples of your best cymbals for electronic recording. IP big time.

[VanXHydrA]

awesome work, i love the desighns on the hi-hatts. did you acid etch that or use some sort of heat treatment?

[MattNolanCustom]

@VanXHydrA Heat treatment. Careful use of a propane torch...

[danyjr]

Great looking and sounding kit, very good playing too! Well done.

[Tattedup716]

beautiful cymbals!!!

[Cenobyte85]

A very good cymbals! Hi from Russia;)

[ERICKNEW1]

lost brother Benny Greb

[styxquinrey96]

they look delicious and sound great to

[rickyalmond]

Hey Matt! Can you replicate those hi-hats in a smaller size with the same finish and metals? 

[MattNolanCustom]

@rickyalmond Yes. Though they won't sound exactly the same, of course.

[rickyalmond]

@MattNolanCustom.. Awesome! Thank you..When ordering should I speak to you directly or order through Memphis Drum Shop...?

[MattNolanCustom]

@rickyalmond Depends how close you are to the shop. Maybe we can save you some shipping cost that way. I've got a batch for them that will be ready soon. Send me an email.

[manoloculiao]

Hello Matt! i have a question, how d'you get the bell shape? obviously, if you can answer that here... Cheers from Chile!

[allmetaliswelcome]

how long did you study/practice/work untill you could actually make quality cymbals?

[socksinashoe423]

My favorites are the hi hats and the first ride. I don't know if I like that crash too much, though. The sound's not really for me.

[ThisBenJams]

u would like to know how this sounds in a studio

[Apreciateifyoudidnt]

I like these a bit. Really like the hi hat. I'm a life lover of a customs, any comparison video would be appreciated, by you or anyone. Btw just a side note these are much mire eye pleasing.

[Apreciateifyoudidnt]

I do like these a bit. Really like the hi hat. But I've been a life lover of a customs. If a comparison video would be possible by you or anyone, I'd be very appreciative.

[groovedrumming1]

Just my opinion, but I truly believe the best cymbals on the market today are Matt Nolan cymbals...all of the ones I've heard and tested sounded just great...

[BandAsphyxiation]

No way, Simon Pegg's doing a voiceover of this?

[MattNolanCustom]

@BandAsphyxiation Ricky Gervais was too expensive

[WinterWineStudio]

I would pay to hear Benny Greb play your cymbals!!!

[metaphoricmirrors]

This hi-hat is fuckin' beautiful!

[shakakamooroar]

Where Do you buy the sheet metal to make these

[SGDrummer7]

the way your drums are set up, I have to ask.

Did you ever play in marching band?

[MattNolanCustom]

@SGDrummer7 No, but I am left handed. I've always played a righty kit. I suppose this is a nod back in the lefty direction ;-)

[SGDrummer7]

@MattNolanCustom Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

[Rougarou13]

@MattNolanCustom I had a feeling you were a lefty! Btw how would I talk to you about some cymbals that I would possibly like to get made in the future?

[christianPhickey]

@SGDrummer7 I can see why you'd ask, the tom arrangement seems to resemble the quad toms. I played them in marching band

[PivotJ6]

hahaha my names matt and my best friend's name is nolan

[mistahmaxi]

You just inspired me to create things like these.

Also, I think I came a little.

[Arcadeisonfire]

Those are hi-hats made for a god.. they look almost like they are etched in magma along the edges. Seriously beautiful my friend.

[luka3005]

Hey man, are you demo-ing at Beat2010 at Sheffield Hallam SU? Would love to see some of your stuff in person.

[SAHBfan]

Just found you on an American site... up until today I didn't even know anyone independent makers existed making cymbals.

Bloody 'ell, I'm impressed!!!!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

Terry Bozzio would love these haha

[cokezzzftw]

How much does it cost to make one of these and how much would you sell them for?

[MattNolanCustom]

@cokezzzftw Check my website...

[torturekillers2006]

How many people can honestly say they have made their own cymbals? Really sweet bud!!

[Vv2legit2quitvV]

I will pay you to make me a hi-hat like yours and a china -18'

[MattNolanCustom]

@Vv2legit2quitvV Hi - drop me an email

[alzhaimar]

What are the sizes of your kit?

[MattNolanCustom]

@alzhaimar 8, 10, 13, 16 with 18x18 floor tom converted into the bass drum

[KyleBlock2142]

Usually cymbals arent made outa brass... they break to eaisly and other things go wrong with them.

[MattNolanCustom]

@KyleBlock2142 Who said brass? The cymbals here are either Bronze or Stainless Steel.

[KyleBlock2142]

@MattNolanCustom o my bad i thought at the begining you said brass. :P thats what i get for listening to this at 1am

[maplestoryJUiCAY]

how much to buy?

[SoldatSolutrea]

The first cleaner ride is vividly chilling, and perfect for my taste. If I ever come to producing my own cymbals like you, I will certainly make the bells quite a lot larger.

[uy12umaine]

he should hire some workers and open a cymbal company

[marfguy1987]

these are some of the most coroful cymbals with chater i has ever heard and better then most commerical stuff I have looked for with character they sound mostly when I have enough money I would gladly buy tons from you guys I am int he U.S though. Phenomenal sounding cymbals

[Dragonwatcher2008]

I want t make cymbals too!!!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

The first ride was amazing!!

[ocdrumboy1]

i like all those cymbals!

[liontamer6969]

the second ride sounds like my 20' camber 2

[KajiDrifter]

I am really liking the 22" Smooth Stainless Steel Ride.

[Riddim4]

I like your video, and I really like your cymbals and gongs.

[JonathanShrader]

the crazy ways u make cymbals... weird materials and deep hammering, u should start making china cymbals

[nightcrawlersteve]

Absolutely awesome, Matt. The stainless rides have much more life and character than I was expecting. Seems to even take on characteristics of bronze. My brain is really turning now - hah! Just fantastic.
