Hammering The Cymbal's Profile

[@AstAMoore]

This series is so incredibly informative and satisfying. I could watch it for hours.

[@brent3760]

I agree 100%

[@brent3760]

Always a good day when Reverie puts out a new video! Especially when its more than 30mins and is all about cymbals!! ❤

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Thanks Brent!

[@lancenicholas8520]

I'm loving the longer videos!! Thank you

[@crmasciocchi]

That’s amazing! I love watching these videos. I really liked how the first cymbal looked right after the first round of hammering. Looked a lot like a Dark Energy ride.

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Richard6767]

Pure beauty! There’s not even 1 cymbal smith here in the Czech Republic. I wish I were a bit younger to start this.

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Actually, one of the best in the world just recently moved to the Czech Republic, Jesse Simpson (www.jessesimpson.com/contact) I did a podcast with him recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nafHfZmwZ96iZ8ksi=_EiniCH8cJvJgEKS

Congratulations! I am delighted with your work.

Dude. Timothy. These videos are absolutely incredible. Truly. You should be extremely proud of the content you’re putting out. Thank you!

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Glad you like them, Justin! I really enjoy making them.

[@DrMackSplackem]

Wow, I don't know how I missed this one. It's very relevant for work I have in process. I have many questions about how best to proceed but mostly I need to do some deep thinking...

[@motsiwel]

I am absolutely loving these deep dives!

[@RyoCanCan]

Thanks for these videos! Lots of awesome info. What I can observe from this is that the circular pattern is very good for getting that umbrella shape and the horizontal pattern works better to get a flatter cymbal. Great educational content for sure!

[@ReverieDrumCo]

They both have their uses, but for me I like the spiral hammering to get a rapid growth into a taller shape.

[@MasterOfNone2023]

Thank you for this

[@paulwgibson]

I would enjoy seeing how you address the sunken bell issue on cymbals after they have rested.

[@ReverieDrumCo]

That's a great idea. I'll have to put that on the list of videos to make.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Beautiful hammering. I'll have to watch again to get how top and bottom hammering affects the shape of the bow.

[@bernardrooney105]

Thank you

[@jonashellborg8320]

Another video about profiles, it’s hard to express how much value these have for me as a player, to understand how they work. Hammering is such an interesting process, very high in complexity - the resting info shows how the metal is “alive”. I know you’re hitting the cymbals with big hammers, what do you think to that regular playing with sticks over 10-15 years can change a cymbal? I don’t know if that is a thing, I’m just curious. Just as water over a very long time can shape rocks.

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Yeah! Consistent use vs. a cymbal being unplayed makes a huge difference. The constant movement/stretch of the metal keeps things more loose and open. If a cymbal sits for years or decades it gets really stiff and it takes some consistent playing to get it to open back up. Thanks for watching!

[@jonashellborg8320]

@@ReverieDrumCo what you said there has blown my mind. It explains a whole ton of experiences I’ve had over the years. Mind. Blown.

[@danarchy6000]

Brilliant

[@tormento_666]

dude some parts of the hammering sounds like gojira's tbe art of dying 😂 epic video!

[@ruffryder13]

I think you're putting out some excellent content in these recent cymbal videos. Do you buy cymbal blanks? Do you recommend any blank suppliers for people that want to mess around with hammering at home?

[@ReverieDrumCo]

Hey, thanks for watching! I get my blanks from multiple suppliers all over the world. The best first place to reach out is any of the Turkish foundries, but lately they have been less than reliable. It's always a chance to order from them or any of the chinese factories, but if you reach out to one they will usually offer to sell you some blanks! Just be careful.

[@ruffryder13]

@@ReverieDrumCo Thanks for the great info! Just a suggestion, but I'd be interested in paying a reputable middle man to supply decent blanks since I'd only probably only be interested in messing around with one or two. Maybe you could sell blanks since you're already working with the blank suppliers.

Thank you for following along and best of luck with drum-making!

[@afterlifeyt9073]

The heavier hammer is more rounded and the the lighter hammer is a little flat?

[@ReverieDrumCo]

yep!

[@afterlifeyt9073]

@ReverieDrumCo got it! Thank you

You didn't play it at the end! Boo hoo... : )
