  • @Unyx005 idk, it's that you said it's "just noize", and I thought you were using a gong having a pitch as a direct comparison to a tam-tam not having any pitch, but now I see you meant any SPECIFIC pitch.

  • @sithwriter Of course they have a pitch, a tam just isn't tuned in a specific note.

  • @Unyx005 every sound wave in the universe has a pitch. So that's impossible.

  • @2penguin4u Actually the smallest crash is 16 inch,and the biggest is 24".Maybe someone makes smaller or bigger "crashes",but they don't sound as a crash at all.

  • A Gong is tuned in a specific note and a tam is "just" noize. I am 100% sure of this. Plz thumbs up so everyone can see!

  • Thank You , Very Usefull!

  • Only 18 inch crash cymbals?? Sorry won't cut it

  • NIPPLE!

  • His crash cymbal technique was wrong. He need to go at more of angle so they won't choke, it also helps if he actually plays them like a man.

  • Haha, "clash cymbals". Funny.
