Brilliant session today, Becky made this 16" crash cymbal and personalised it in the best way possible - by writing on it with sharpie! Love it!

The dual surface finish is popular at the moment, lathing only part of the top of the cymbal means you can see your hammering work as well as the shiny stuff the lathing reveals.

Booking now for autumn and beyond, gift cards available at the newly designed site: https://www.makeyourowncymbal.com/

A new 19" Ride, pretty light & tight. 11 rivets arranged in the infinity symbol, called the Figure 8 because I really like Elliott Smith.
