I like their 'Lazy Susan' method of pouring the bronze with the rotating table. It looks more efficient and easier on the pourers than what I've seen from the typical Turkish factory.
I love ti see men at work, efficient, well organised work at that, and most of all cymbal smiths, now I know a new name in Brazil besides Orion cymbals
Great work as always. I'm so excited to get my big batch of mods when you are finished. It was a pleasure speaking with you the other day. I will have to listen to some more of this new line. They sound great. Of course I need to get some the the Timothy's as well. I need to play some in person as soon as I can.
Great video, I really enjoy watching the cymbal making process. You certainly have big news, branching out on a bigger scale with Revery Cymbals, and continuing with your hand hammered line…I wish you all the best, Timothy. I look forward to updates. Cheers.
With all due respect, shaping metal on a lathe is called turning*, not "lathing". Yes, hitting a drum, is drumming; and (sometimes)using a hammer is hammering(e.g. sometimes it's nailing); but just as a carpet is woven, or knotted; metal is turned. The craftspeople in that factory are engaging in a very traditional task, and those tasks have names that are hundreds of years old. I'm pleased that a very different culture from the Turkish one is developing in Brazil. Diversity creates wonderful variations and that ride cymbal really sounded very dry. Best regards, Alan Tomlinson *Before anyone says, 'They called it lathing' I would point out that for most of those artisans, English is a second language and that they would probably appreciate the correction.
@@diegorhoenisch62 while I agree with you on the correct terminology being “turning”, the drum industry has made lathing the commonly referred to term (which is why I use it). You’re right though!
How’d you like the food there Tim, I’m sure they fed you well while you were there! Churrascaria, I’ve been a couple of times! Can’t wait to hear some of the Reverie dishes, maybe my next ride!
I can’t wait for the jazz metal line. Rocking jazz? Max roach by Ginger baker that John Bonham can’t break. And yea. I had to hit the bell. Awesome work man. Great.
I see you was like seeing if when Spizzichino himself goes to a foundry and sees the whole process how it is done. Basically getting more cymbal work done! Fantastic video. Kudos to you and your team as well as the guys foundry letting you film their process. Kudos to them!
This video is amazing, I am so inspired by your journey. One question, what the heck is going on in the casting scene? I thought water is a no-no around molten metal? What am I seeing splashing all around that metal? Had to ask. Again, excellent video! 👍
Great video Timothy! The Domene facility is wonderful. It's my first time seeing a rotary hammer? What's the difference from the mechanical hammer? Is it mainly used for initial hammerings?
You’ve got to be kidding me HAHAHAH. This is what Zildjian makes such a big fuss about? They won’t let you in the foundry room but the Brazilian shop is letting you daw dog their whole campus? That’s so legit on Brazils behalf. I’m so ready to divorce the big Z.
I noticed that their guy lathes from just outside the bell toward the outer edge of the cymbal only, at least in this video, while you seem to lathe out toward the edge and then back in. Are there reasons for that technique of yours vs the other gentleman? Thanks!
Far out! How to spoil an independent cymbal smith for life in a week. Wouldn’t you love having that workshop to yourself for a year of nothing but experimentation in the agenda.
