The WEIRDEST Cymbals On The Internet

Music used (background & playalongs)

0:00 - 17" Square Hihats
3:15 - 24" Jupiter Ride & 10" Jupiter Cup Chime
5:23 - 24" Multi-Bell, 12" Spoxe, 6" Cast, & 3.5" Heavy Flat Disk
6:58 - 24" Cross China
8:14 - 21.5" Neptune

Yup, even MORE wierd cymbals. These all come from GM Designs Cymbals. Our conversation started out with the idea of making a set of square hihats like the ones Sabian used to make. I realized that finding a set of the square sabian hihats would basically be impossible so I asked GMD to make a set. After that they thought it would be cool to send some more of their crazy cymbals! If you are looking for a unique sound for your kit, GMD most likely has something for you. Whether its an effects cymbal or just an odd ball take on a "normal" cymbal.

What weird cymbals should I play next? 🤔

[JonSudano]

7:32 when she squats down to pee in the parking lot on the first date

[TheMaddoxfam]

The biggest thing I noticed is that all of those are usable, unlike some of the oddities from the other weird cymbal videos. Everything you showed here can be used without getting into incredibly eclectic styles of music

2:06 Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga, I know you can't control yourself any longer

[skyboundmusic]

i never thought id hear a pair of hihats that sound like a ride when opened.... love it

[alsdrumhang]

These were all appropriately nuts. Your little dubbed groove with the various chimes and discs was spiffy. I was wincing as you laid into the cross china, it looks as fragile as Axl Rose's ego 🤣the three trashy cymbals sounded so good together, just butter on toast. Great content yet again man, thanks!

[samjennings]

Damn that 24” big bell ride and the cross china sound insanely good!

[Pericles]

That mega bell ride is SO GOOD! I wish it didnt cost as much as the Sabian variant!

[jamessssssssssssss]

this is prob the best lineup of weird cymbals you've done that actually sound great together on the kit

[MrEntede]

FIVE MINUTES ALONE! Just after the “head bangs on broken glass” lyric right?

[PivotalShrimp]

The 6" cast at 6:14 matched up perfectly with the background music

[eddiehimself]

As a drummer with a degree in mechanical engineering, all I can think is that those square edges are going to start cracking in no time lol.

[JacobDutil]

Never thought i'd see David with a megabell ride playing 5 minutes alone 😂. Sidenote, that ride sounds damn similar to what vinnie used (22 powerbell Sabian)

[DanEdelen]

A weirdo cymbal skeptic, I still think every one of these has a unique sound. Not a fan of the square hats, though, as the constantly changing edge would drive me crazy. Thanks for showcasing these. The spinning wagon wheel with the triangle striker was my favorite effect.

[JerridFoiles]

Look who's getting better at double bass. Good stuff, Dude.

[_mobo]

4:09 love seeing dave playing 5 minutes alone, great content as always

[craigstrickland]

Weird but they all sound pretty good. Good to see you embracing your dark side....metal!

[JackofAllMinistries]

Dude, those square hats were awesome! I love how playing it like a ride just sounds like a a super washy open open hat underneath a ride sound. Playing with the pedal was cool too. I wonder what a smaller set would sound like…

[Schlingelkind]

4:54 that little grove with the slightly different sounding bell hit is so cool!

[Spike_]

He back again with probably my favorite series you’ve done on this channel besides customizing cymbals!
