I'd say that what you've done is turn a china into a pang. I have a Paiste masters swish that has a flat flange and is, in my opinion , misnamed. I also have a paiste 602 22inch china, same B20, but a totally different beast because of its upturned flange. I once had a very rare Zildjian 22 inch pang, brilliant finish Some bastard nicked it. Man, that was a cymbal. As you'll have gathered, I'm something of a fan of this kind of cymbal. I love their challenge and their potential for chaos. Love your cymbals too, though. Ying and yang.

I dont know if its because i'm a non band home player playing funk/rock/pop but I have always loved smaller cymbals, I like to hit a cymbal It make it's sound and then get out of the way, a 22" china is my worst nightmare. I feel once it's hit I need to leave the room have a cup of tea and come back when its shut up! I don't like this cymbal before or after I have no idea how I would use/play it. I have a a 9" trash splash, two 12" and one 14" china and love there staccato sounds. I'd like to hear the owner play it in context, and still very much enjoyed the video.

I'm not that fan of the rivet thing, they add less than they trashy the overall sound cutting SPL and decay, but above all I would have kept the re flattened cymbal by perhaps limiting a little and without rivets the long decay and the harshness of the sound. Your first step sounded the best to me and offers a very distinctive, powerful and creative "kinda China" cymbal. You're doing a tough job made of choices with no way back. Kudos in any case, I love even more cymbals thanks to your in-depth expertise.

Bless You! Since I don’t have a Cymbal endorsement,I have to pay a fortune for cymbals. I have been able to get a “read” on a cymbal by its gram weight,(lighter gram weight,generally deeper in accordance with its circumference ),but even sites that have the exact cymbal that you will purchase (plus it’s gram weight) on demo,it still sounds different with my cymbals & room of course. I purchased brass rivets,steel rivets,and apply them to cymbal as needed,but I’m still working in the dark,if you will. I’ve never taken any classes on cymbal making,or maintenance; I’ve learned by trial and error. I’ve experimented on cheaper cymbals before i touch one of my coveted/cherished K’s, Constantinoples,or Istanbul Mehmets, but that is the reality of my situation. Were you,or are you,an apprentice to a cymbal maker,or did you learn it the way I did - by stumbling along this path?? Do you teach folks how to do this (in person) ,or,just on this channel podcast? Love how this cymbal sounds now,btw! Great inversion!! Where did you buy that tool that shaves off cymbal mass /weight,and what is its name!??!! Thanks for your time!!🙏🎶🥁

Yeah I dug it too. It’ll get closer to that version after it has a few months to settle. The drummer needed it to function well in a band context which is why the extra hammering to tighten it up and raise the pitch was necessary. Based off of these demos, I’d agree with about the second version being my favorite.

would you consider working on a sabian b8 plus to do something similar? it doesnt have a drastic flange like this. i have a sabian prototype 20" with a lot of cracks in it that i sanded out, i replaced it with that. its trashy, but i have to hold back when i hit it, i use 2 chinas instead of crashes. looking to mellow it out a bit. if i sent both in to you, maybe you could use the prototype as a frame of reference to get it close to. could be quite an undertaking, but i dig what you do with cymbals.
@ReverieDrumCo

Unfortunately, B8 is a different animal. While there are guys that mod those and can make them sound nominally better, I've chosen to stay away from them because they don't produce results that justify the effort (to me at least). I stick mostly with B20 for my mods (and some Paiste B12/B15).

What's the role of a china cymbal in a drum kit? In my humble opinion, chinas don't have a melodic sound, they just sound like hitting a broken tin sheet. I can undrstand the role of hihats, crashes and rides but chinas go beyond my comprehension. I love the sound of the cymbal after the flipping of the edge.
