- THE ART of cymbalsmithing is blossoming! And I am thrilled to witness it with my eyes and ears!
- Here at it’s spring eternal with unique, custom, hand hammered and hand crafted, prototypes and rare and vintage cymbals.
- Why? Because I love them! I love the art. I love the sound. I love the tradition of cymbal making. I love playing drums.
- And if you love drums as much as I,then you know that Timothy Roberts is a name frequently invoked at the drummer’s dinner table!
- Timothy’s handiwork, painstaking attention to detail and love of cymbalmaking has prompted his meteoric rise in the rapacious world of drums and cymbals. And this unique 18” PAPERTHIN MELLOW Crash is the perfect example of why.
- Hell, don’t just take my word for it - have a listen!
- For LESS MONEY than a big box store K Crash or Paiste, you can play something custom-hand crafted and beautiful while watering the art of cymbal-smithing.
- At only 1262 grams this fully lathed and beautifully hand hammered gem plays with a soft, mellowness that eludes the big companies. It opens quickly and yields a golden, complex wash that remains mellow and is not overly smoky or trashy.
- Easily bendible and very responsive. Lower profile gives it a lower pitched foundation that remains dark and very mellow.
- Swells and crashes magnificently but still fairly quick decay. Lives in the Paiste Traditional world but hundreds less and actually Hand Hammered.
- Timothy's engraved signature underneath with the 1262 gram weight.
- Perfect for any genre from very quiet to medium loud.
- Stunning shape with no issues! Perfect! Clean. And most importantly, it sounds amazing.
- It’s an inspiration and a joy to play an instrument that was not only hand crafted but was made with such devotion to the craft and respect for the art.
- Hand made and less than a regular-ass K.
