Hi matt, where do you get material for your cymbals? And is stainless steel good for cymbals?

Hi Reinis. I source my bronze cymbal blanks from foundries in Germany, Turkey and China. I select different ones for their different working and sonic properties, depending on what I am trying to achieve in the sound of the cymbal. Stainless steel, when available in hard enough temper, is good for special effect cymbals - dry, fast, trashy, upper mids heavy, subdued highs. It is not good for general purpose cymbals.
