The cymbal itself is expendable, and it's not something that will break my heart if it becomes unusable...however, it's not often that I have cymbals that I'm free to experiment, so I'm hoping this turns into something cool and usable. I want to give the crash a sharper, brighter sound because at the moment it's...well, like I said before it has a muddy, blah sound to it. It sounds like a mix between hitting thin sheet metal with a hammer, and a nice crash, but without the niceness of the crash and without the thunder of the sheet metal...if that makes any sense. I'm seriously thinking about rivets, and I'm definitely interested in doing an O-zone sort of thing with them, but if someone else has already tried that I'd like to hear from them to see how it turned out before I take huge holes out of it. I'll be looking into more options as well, but more comments would be greatly appreciated. Just throw ideas around, maybe something cool will come of it Post Extras
