Mountainhick modded cymbals Last viewed: 1 hour ago

I've modded many. These are some of the good ones:

From a Paiste 4004 20" This was an OK cymbal but pretty one dimensional. The hammering added some complexity and toned down some of the B8 brightness. It s a nicely balacned crash ride now. $100

From a Paiste 2000 20" ride, 2400g This originally was bright enough to make yer ears bleed and went "ding ding ding" no matter how you played it. Now a nice bright but not ear damaging rock pop kind of sound, and loosened quite a bit to lower the pitch to a nice medium range. Don;t let the solid weight scare you off, has a medium feel. hammered. patina-ed, decoratively lathed and overhammered around the edge $150

A heavy 21" ride 3260g. This brute started as a 70's Avedis coming in over 3600g! It had unbalanced sound and the bell and body fought each other tonaly. Sound is now darkened up a bit, though with this weight stick is still a bright ping, and the bell no longer fights with the body. Great rock/pop kind of ride. $175

Medium weight, heavily altered 70's Avedis 20 incher. now 2110g I have a hard time describing sonics for this one , kind of crunchy with some dragon's breath $150

Ben - Those are beautiful! Man, you're doing some nice work on cymbals. How do you get the patina to zone for you? Do you lathe after you add the patina? That Paiste 2000 is a stunning, sharp looking cymbal. Great looking brass. Very nice work!

Too many great drums to list here!

No, I don't want to risk damaging your property.
