Homemade Cymbal

I stacked 4 old, cracked cymbals on top of one another and came up with this great, homemade cymbal. It is a crash/ride, a crash, a hi hat, and a china all combined. This sound is applicable to a hip-hop snare sound, or a junky cymbal accent. Don't throw away old gear, you can make your own!!

yeah its the bass and snare drum of my DW Collectors Series Kit. That's the strip down practice set up AKA the set up that I feel like lugging up the stairs of my house haha.

That's an awesome sound. I like it most as a "hip hop snare". Did you have that in mind when you made it, or did you just throw shit together? :P

Sounds very good on an ordinary camcorder. Imagine if your on stage. Great invention!

i did this once with a smaller crash on top of a bigger crash. it sounded just like a china.

i too have stacked a bunch of shitty cymbals like that, and they sound just like that, nothing special really...

You are really good! I like how you used it as a snare, it gives it a cool sound. Good job!
