If I remember correctly, I was making a @bfccymbals crash for Master. I hammered a helluvalot of cymbals that day and was totally immersed in my groove. I had worked late the night before rolling, cupping, tempering and back bending these blanks. It was hot as a mofo too. At the conclusion of this trip I got my “PHD” in cymbalogy and officially became #americascymbalmaster - - - - - #cymbalfactory#cymbalfoundry#manuallabor#mastertraining#phdincymbals#thecymbalwhisperer# (at São Paulo, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMtOytihEso/?igshid=1g7wgu1u30h3n

This is/was a K Con from division Z of Big Cymbal. A very nice cymbal as it was but my client asked me to lower the pitch, kill the fundamental “goooooonnnggg” sound on the crash and get the sustain under control. I had to completely restructure the shape to accomplish this. But that’s what I do. Oh, and I added some racing stripes... because I can. Before/after demo tomorrow morning! - - - - - #theonlyseriouschoice#kingofmods#thecymbalwhisperer#americascymbalmaster#imitatedneverduplicated#beautifulcymbals (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaEJ7LBofp/?igshid=q0g0w80eas20

These 5 “Old World Unearthed” vintage Constantinople style NickyMoon limited edition cymbals have just been buried underground so they can pick up some mystical earth vibes and natural patina while the metal relaxes from all the work I recently did to it. In early April these will be dug up and sold at a live event that we host right here on Instagram Live. Details to follow. Available in the batch are three 20”, one 19” and one 18”, all rides. Jazzers, swingers and boppers will want to pay extra close attention here....😉 - - - - - - #limitededition#jazzdrummer#jazzdrums#jazzride#jazzcymbal#swing#bebop#buriedtreasure#treasurehunt#earth#vibes#constantinople#oldworld#americascymbalmaster#thecymbalwhisperer (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKRKNiAc4g/?igshid=1egg5qg83upcz

CLASS IN SESSION‼️All B20 bronze is not created equal. Can you see the difference between the Turkish and Chinese alloys? Both of these scraps are from modifications, and both cymbals came from reputable foundries. Chinese B20 shavings are harder, sharper and more jagged while the Turkish shavings are softer and more smooth. In general, Chinese made B20 is harder and more brittle than Turkish alloy. Why? A higher percentage of iron, silicon, sulfur and lead are present. Trace amounts of these substances and others are found in most high tin bronzes, however once the content passes a certain threshold, negative qualities such as veining and brittleness become much more common. I’m not dumping on Chinese made bronze or saying one is better than the other, just dropping fact bombs and you make up your own mind as to what you want to play!! - - - - - #science#metallurgy#bronzecasting#metallathe#shavings#B20#bellbronze#youdecide#classinsession#teacherhasspoken#master#thecymbalwhisperer (at Comparison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBRmwNh7lB/?igshid=aopj1760ahtb
