Re: Resurrecting cracked cymbals
From what I remember reading, Gavin had cut some from splashes and one or two of them from something else...small crash bells I think. If they were cut from rides, they'd be pretty clangy sound, but not quite like a cup chime either (I speak from experience, had an old cracked thin ride, a Meinl or something, which I had cut down to a small bell, and I own four Paiste Cup Chimes. The bell I later gave to another drummer....it just wasn't the sound I was after). Gavin's little cymbals still have a slightly splashy effect I've noticed. I dunno, I'll have a look for the Modern Drummer article some time and see what it says.
