CYMBAL RE-CREATIONS ! With before and after soundclips !

I'd like to start off with this old 22" Avedis I've just finished re-creating. It was sent to me by a drummer from the USA.

Originally the cymbal was a 40's transtamp at 2649gr, sounding fairly aggressive IMO and everything but clicky. The idea was to make it lighter, more jazzy and darker but with a better stick definition.
The finish had to be a regular type of lathing, not a patina finish or banded lathing like some of my other work.
I've totally re-hammered and re-shaped it and lathed it down to 2330 grams.

Here's a before and after soundclip....

It now looks like this:

I really like the new sound : dark with a good stick definition.
Good job Johan !

A drummer from Finland sent me this 22" Istanbul Agop "Tony Williams" ride. I rehammered it into something that (in my opinion) sounds much more like the real Tony Williams ride from his years with Miles Davis.

Nice & dry

How did you "dried" it ? Reshapping or only hammering ?

Hammering will automatically reshape the cymbal

But it has been hammered very much into a totally different shape.
