A 21" hand hammered, homemade stainless steel china cymbal. My father and I made this for fun on a Sunday afternoon. Interesting possiblities...this cymbal is NOT like a bronze cymbal.

  • Im sorry for not responding to all the comments. Im not a big youtube guy. Any of you could make one of these. For those inquiring about buying one, please check out @MattNolanCustom - he is the real deal and is an actual cymbalsmith. His work is amazing. Thanks all for the comments.

  • what kind of stainless is it??

  • @danifilth321 I dont know the exact grade, sorry. It was a piece of scrap in my dads shop.

  • Was this easy to make?

  • @spudsmagicvideos - Stainless is a hard metal to work with. If you have the "proper" tools its not too bad. A lot of this was just based on some research, intuition and a go for it attitude. You could do the same :)

  • definitely interesting! I hope you can keep experimenting with stainless steel cymbals, cus I bet you could make lots of different and useful sounds from it!

    Nice job!

  • @crazy8sdrums - Thank you. I hope to do more, but actually I want to try my hand at a kit. My dad and I made a snare also and it turned out amazingly well. We rolled it and everything. It was fun!

see all

  • YYZ at one point:P

  • Stainless steel!..should take a beating and keep on ticking.

  • steel makes an interesting sound as it is... i like :D

  • pfft... not stainless steel... you just used some Cilit Bang O__O

  • I don't like this as china,but as effect...<3

  • Man, this cymbal is just a hit in the right spot! In order to break it, you need to hit it with a big hammer or so, seems like playing just won't do the trick. Awesome cymbal!

  • atleast you know itll never break my drummer needs all his symbols made from stainless steel and his heads made out of teflon or somethin he busts everythin he touches it seems

  • i don't think this is a china... just a custom effect cymbal... the lightrods sound sweet!

  • You should call it a "dumpster ride" that things sick! Sounds like a china ride or something. Make a tutorial pleeeeeeaase!!!!

  • please hit it hard :)
