Reminds me of that scene in _The Fly 2_ where Brundle's girlfriend is like, "..You can't walk, and you're getting worse..." and he's mutating and molting and responds, "I'm getting *better."* 😂😅

😂

[@koraykumru1295]

It went from a cymbal that made me cringe like a screeching chalkboard to somethibg fun, trashy and unique!

[@CalebCarterFilm]

Finally! Someone who gets it!

[@DRUMSandBUBS]

Its better. I liked it best before the heat treating

[@vagomoy9204]

Nice and dark sound. I love the trashy sustain. Sound likea china ride.

[@CalebCarterFilm]

It's quite nice as a brutal jazz ride.

[@davewestner]

pretty cool transition. Gotta say, I didn't mind the original but you made something quite interesting out of it

[@GBsdclf01]

Might be a little more niche now, but I'd say it's an improvement. 👍

[@CalebCarterFilm]

thanks!

[@Grow_Everything]

Really cool actually. It rides nicely, but has the qualities of a china cymbal when you crash it. Was it originally a hi-hat bottom?

[@CalebCarterFilm]

It was originally a 15 inch crash, b8 bronze, but just way to thick for it to sound good. I'm honestly really pleased with how it turned out. Still use it to this day.

[@adriaankoster7760]

cool!! Its almost like a china, has a lot more sustain! Great job

[@CalebCarterFilm]

Thanks!

[@fartpooboxohyeah8611]

Nice trashy crash!

[@Dattrileydude]

Question: What does the torch flame do to the cymbal?

[@CalebCarterFilm]

It normalises the metal, I tried playing it before torching it, and it had not shimmer or sustain. After torching it and letting it cool it gets all of its sustain back.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

I wouldn't say amazing, but it's....different 😂 I'd probably add some rivets for sizzle...

[@CalebCarterFilm]

I mean I still use it regularly. 🤷🏻

[@net6403]

hammer the bell to get it even trashier

[@brent3760]

Trash can lid cymbal now

[@CalebCarterFilm]

yeah, Although I still think it sounds better than it did.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂

[@tractorguy97]

It sound china now

[@CalebCarterFilm]

It does, I thought that too!!

[@chriskiefer7493]

I'd use it in a stack.

[@CalebCarterFilm]

I do sometimes!

[@hrwstudio4104]

Trashy 🔥 love it

[@tyrogers156]

Much better!

[@Buckethead57]

Looks worse, is it meant to be. A joke

[@CalebCarterFilm]

looks better in my opinion, plus look means nothing if it sounds like trash!! 🤣🤣 The sound is quite nice now instead of being complete garbage!!

[@Spike_365]

It looks better to me
