Man, that looks harder, and more dangerous, than hand hammering! Very cool

Simply art!!!!

The first one was a little too dry for my taste. I think the second one would be more useful for my type of playing. It sounds great.

Gorgeous

👌🏾!!!!!!!!!👊🏾

I would totally buy these cymbals

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

About bells and their influence on the overall cymbal tone: I've found that the bell/bow transition region (bridge radius) is super critical. I've been reworking a Paiste 20" 602 ride and the first thing I did was smooth out the sharp bridge radius with hard strokes of a small peen hammer. Immediately, the cymbal opened up and became drier. You can do this with B8, but I feel that if I had tried it with a B20 disc it would've cracked from too many strikes with inconsistent anvil contact.

That's a special pie man!......Plenty of stick, as usual, and that wonderful dark simmer!.. I dig that the spread is almost all in the low-mid range. The second one is also a beautiful piece. Other than the pitch being a little higher, the vibe is very similar. You've really got that formula dialed in 😉👍

Man that sounds great. Can you recommend a Bill Steward gateway album?

super cool! very inspiring and playing invinting!🫶🏻👏🏻

Either one would be totally fine with me. They are better than “old Ks” because they are made with love and to specific specifications. The old K sound is subjective, and hit and miss. Yours are more consistent

I bought a Paiste 101 pack... Been playing guitar for 33 yrs... So the collection of gear is worth as much as my house... But Drums... Been on em for 3 yrs... So still on the cheap... Hince Paiste 101's. The ride is great... The hi-hats are great.... The damn crashes are bad. "Bonnnnnnnng" They sound great as different pitched rides... But I'ma throw them out the window as crashes. I feel that hogging off some material would help though... They're super thick. I'm back to using the unbranded crashes the Mapex kit came with... Anyone messed with the 101's?

Both great cymbals, as you stated in the intro, the first is dry and woody, and the second is more airy…both have a funky vibe when opened up, or lightly crashed. I like the oxide crust process, it really helps with control, and looks good, too. Another great job, Timothy, and as always very informative, I look forward to your next creation/s.

It crashes beautifully-a very rich sound! But is it really “thin”? I mean, I have a 22-inch Bosphorus Master Series ride that clocks in at 2100 g, and I’d consider _that_ pretty thin.

Love Fridays for many reasons, one is new vids from Reverie!!!

Wonderful sound! Zildjian, Istanbul and the other big ones better be on their toes now… 😯

Wow!!! Really nice. That's perfection!

That commissioned cymbal sounds great.

Also Bill uses or possibly still uses those tiny sticks.

Wow, Timothy, another beautiful creation! Man, I have to say I like this one as much as the "old K remade"...or maybe even more! I had to go back and compare, but this one seems to have better stick definition, a more funky and nicely defined (louder?) bell, and a quicker, sweeter-sounding crash (without that slight "hum" I hear in the K remake). Also I think this one would work not only for jazz but also for some of the lower-volume blues gigs I get called to play. Please make a note that I absolutely LOVE this cymbal-it's definitely the kind of sound I'm looking for in my commission!

YES!!! This is righteous, man!!! ❤‍🔥

Hey timothy, inspired by your videos, I started trying my hand at hammering an old Vader ride cymbal, I've been really happy with the results, the sound is really sticky/pingy but in a metalic way, I'm also having an issue where I can't seem to get it out of this "taco" shape its begun to take on, just wondering if you'd be willing to offer any advice

If I hammer my 20" Sabian Xs would this be a signifiquant improvment. Please excuse my english! I'm a french oldfart dude😂

Nailed the sound brother!!

That customer is an idiot

Absolutely mind blowing that an expert cymbal smith can turn a semi decent cymbal into something pretty nice. At a cost that would be more than just buying a good quality cymbal. Oh wait, sorry “jazz”

You’ve taken that clunky trash can and turned it into Bill Stewarts ride cymbal.

How about trying trying a video wher you play them as you talk about them. To me there are high,med and low frequency and high,med andlow sustain. Sitting her listening to you say "smokey" had zero value for me. The way you are doing it we have to try to remember what you said about each cymbal and then hear it 5/10 mins later.

Cool tool!

Timothy, will you still do some hand hammering as well? Maybe some cymbals would need a mix of machine & hand hammering? Cheers!

Paiste has a similar machine that the cymbal smiths use to hammer some of their cymbals. I think the Rude series uses a device like this, even though the machine helps its still not an easy job to keep a steady hand while the machine does the hammering, as they rotate the cymbal by hand as the device makes the hammer strikes. I'm so glad that you have this new device, as I know you'll be able to do some really cool cymbals with this machine.

So exciting to get new tools!

Is this how Zildjian do it?

Dazzling array of options, as always! Nice work T.

Awesome video, I liked a subscribed! I request a real life time counter over the speed up.

Sound wonderful!

Very nice!

Canadian Eh

I'm leaning towards the Canadian, not that Brazilian stuff is bad. Beautiful pies Tim! Bravo

Call me crazy, but I’m more partial to all the ones on your right side. Especially the more deeply lathed Canadian alloy ones. And it’s not a visual bias-I was not looking at the screen.

the best serie you made !! (the lathed)

real master

Those Brazilian bronze cymbals sound amazing. The looks are very cool too. Congratulations for your talent in transforming bronze into amazing sound. Brazilian bronze is my favorite.

That left side ride is the best sounding turk ive ever heard Timothy!! Killer man!

Hey Timothy, your videos never fail to educate me about cybals, alloys, hammering, lathing. Not that I know much about it, maybe more than the everage drummer, but every time I watch a video of yours I learn something new. Thank you for that

2112 is a sweet store. Dig the shirt

Liked all, but loved the Original foundry look and the stick definition was neat too!

I like the Canadian one on the far right and the Brazilian one on the far left. But not easy to choose as they all sound great! Btw, did you hammer out the bells on the Canadian blanks, or do they come with the bells already stamped?

Has anyone ever heard of cymbal polish for these vintage cymbals?
