Broken cymbals are awesome.

“It turns your depression into an activity!” has such coy delivery for such a macabre line and I love it

[OmerFlame]

For all the viewers, he did this while under the weather! He cancelled the stream for that day and made a video as "compensation", that's dedication if I've ever seen it!

[AriWeismanchester]

I have never and won't ever play the drums. But I'll know what cymbals to buy my drummer friends.

[frtzkng]

I like how this channel is called 'The Drum Thing' yet is mostly about cymbals

[eugenenalpin]

These cybals are like a good friend group of pensioners. Sure they might be in their eighties, worn by life, but when they come to hang out together they still somehow have a blast

if anyone's wondering, an easy way to stop a crack from spreading on literally anything is to drill a big honkin hole centered right at the end of that crack, so the drill is taking half crack and half healthy material. That should give it enough relief to keep it in one piece until you get to removing the entire damaged bit.

[LeftyPem]

Maybe it’s because I’m a guitarist, but these damaged cymbals still sound excellent. Who cares what an instrument looks like? It’s about sound❤

In high school I had a Paiste beginner cymbal, which went completely dead when a crack appeared at the edge. We just grabbed a hacksaw and sawed it off flat. I didn't even know that was a thing people did, it just seemed to me that it would work, and it did!

[YokiDokiPanic]

This is amazing. Cymbals must be the only musical instrument that still has value and is perfectly playable even if it breaks. Drums are incredible, man.

[acousticeel]

If there’s anything I’ve learned from this channel it’s that cymbal sound really is largely determined by what it’s made of over shape. Quasimodo had a full amputation and he’s still killin it

As a semi-professional death metal drummer, my god, these videos are always extremely helpful, and I very much have confidence I will use everything I learn from your videos in my everyday drumming career. Sincerely, thank you. :3

This is the literal definition of "if it's broken, but it works, it's not broken"

[psi]

You thoroughly inspired me. I found a nicely repaired 1977 18” 2002 and purchased it for less than $100. It sounds so great the repair adds some individuality for sure!

[Catteristo]

Broken or not, it sounds beautiful in Wade's drumset.

[Xanthelei]

For how thrashed some of those cymbals are, they sound hella good! I was genuinely surprised at Quasimodo there.

[isotera_]

I love hearing this "if it sounds good, it is good" attitude, because I have this bass effect where even though there's zero definition to the tone, rhythm or anything, it's still the coolest thing ever and I love it. And remembering sometimes that that's what's important is a big deal.

[weewee]

Would be great to get a demonstration video on how to properly fix a cracked cymbal. How to round out the edges and everything.

[kaylathekat]

i also wanted to say i look forward to your new videos on the car channel. im an aspiring mechanic and its fun to watch the authentic aussie way to work on cars

[romboTV]

being from memphis, i can’t help but feel special when you show clips from the drum shop in my city :)

[GeoStreber]

Great choice of background music btw. It's a march called "Alte Kameraden". As a german guy with an interest in traditional march music, I can say that it's one of the best there is.
