[rockexpert]

[maluorno]

[IronFabianSteel]

i kinda would want to do this for a living

[rasflorax]

[indiocolifa]

What about some protection for workers?

[xaropaleuw]

@hampisdrums popo prepei na ginotan tis poutanas apo piatinia ekei e??!!1

[2fromcenter]

ha totally!

[doublebassrox]

hell yeah ! a real mans job makin cymbals without protection

[pakiw2]

no fcukin healt and safety like in england.

[shakakamooroar]

eye glasses and ear protection are overrated.

[NolikargAven]

NOW COMPARE WITH PAISTE'S FACTORY.

[mistahmaxi]

Man, I'd like to have a similar, but a little more simplistic setup like this one.

You can't compare anything to the sound of a handmade cymbal!

[hampisdrums]

@mistahmaxi

Yeah man i agree

[ProductionsSkyline]

now compare this to Zildjian's factory.

[hampisdrums]

@ProductionsSkyline

So ?

Paiste factory in Switzerland is even better

[NickyMSafc]

@ProductionsSkyline Istanbul make better cymbals than Zildjian though

[drumdreamer92]

@NickyMSafc Preach it brother!

[arielplayer88]

they are wearing no hearing protection, the lathe operator has no eye protection or gloves. Not the safest place to work.

[dmtharpua]

just got a MW Aluminium Bell 5', long resonance, very light, awesome to play as an fast effect over latin stuff. rustic environment

[hampisdrums]

@dmtharpua

The had plenty of bells when i went, i should have bought one :-(

[awkwardh1ppo]

i admire their craftsmanship, but is this legal?

[MrJaapKooiman]

@awkwardh1ppo why wouldnt it be..?

[awkwardh1ppo]

@MrJaapKooiman i mean, just the conditions that they work in, no safety equipment, just seems kinda dangerous and sketchy

[hampisdrums]

@awkwardh1ppo

Yeah it was very dangerous

But i don't think the authorities ever check

[EvenStevenDrumz]

So THAT'S where my cymbalset was made.

Thanks for the inside look.

I play Masterwork Legends, suberb cymbals.

[ofirharlev]

those are some old school methods...

not to mention the working environment =\

[frankanizer]

I love these cymbals !!!!! i've played them all butt these are the best !!!

[hampisdrums]

@frankanizer

i agree with you

[cjphoto1]

I have been a drummer for 40 years, played ZIldjians Paiste and Spizziani (Itialian beauties!) and have ALWAYS wanted to see this process. Now I know....TTTTHHHHAAANNNKKKSS!!!­!

[hampisdrums]

@cjphoto1

you're welcome dude !

[harisk1]

Μπάμπη, πολύ καλό βίντεο! Πιο χειροποίητα δεν θα μπορούσαν να είναι (αν και συμφωνώ με τους προηγούμενους ότι οι συνθήκες εργασίας είναι λίγο περιόδου βιομηχανικής επανάστασης...). Αναμένουμε thread στο Noiz με εντυπώσεις και ήχους!

[c1e1l1c1]

They seem to be really nice sounding cymbals! But the people work in very unsafe conditions! No glasses, no ear protection, no gloves, debris all around.

[patoruzitornnfkvkvbk]

Good point.

[cavudog]

@c1e1l1c1

Well this isn't the US where there's OSHA or countless unions. That said they should get safer conditions but they legally don't have to.

[lubedude2]

Very cool Hampis! They do great work! They could use some industrial safety guidelines though! Housekeeping and safety glasses would be a good place to start.

[Dicedrum]

I expected some dungeon master to standing there whipping the slaves. that was awesome man! Dice

[eric000B]

Picture the setting without the cymbals and it looks like an illegal weapon or counterfeit money factory...

Great video Hampis, interesting!

[taitakostas]

τελειο φιλε!!

[guitar62751]

cool Hampis !

Stu

[SonicOrbStudios]

All that hammering gets quite annoying.....but he final result is an outstanding cymbal.

I wonder how often they clean out all those metal shavings...
