  • THE ART of cymbalsmithing is blossoming! And I am thrilled to witness it with my eyes and ears! 

  • Here at Hazelshould.com 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 these TRIBUTARY Hihats are the perfect example of why!

  • Hell, don’t just take my word for it - have a listen!

  • For LESS THAN the price of big box store K Custom Hihats or Paistes, you can play something uniquely hand crafted and beautiful while watering the art of cymbal-smithing. 

  • As you can see the craftsmanship on these custom 15” is Istanbul K -ish with beautiful thin lathing and a DEEP factory patina  that is reminiscent of those Vintage Turkish Picassos. 

  • That’s the vibe, and these hats are hand made and hand-signed etched under the bell with the date and factory weight provided.

  • Timothy’s Tributary Series is inspired by the Vintage Zildjian Istanbul Ks in look, feel and tone. And it is indeed quite a tribute.  

  • Fully lathed on top and bottom and weighing 1017 over 1218 grams, these gems provide a tight and crisp attack when closed with a light, percolating complexity.  Open them and unleash all that hand hammered shimmering tone. They posses a beautiful Old World light complexity that is unique and ooooooo so familiar to the ears! 

  • New Beat style weights for a prominent CHICK tone.

  • Just stunning 15s” I give you a lot of acreage to play.

  • You can tell a pair of ears LISTENED to these cymbals before they were released. Before it was “complete.” Someone cared.  Imagine that. 

  • Perfect for any genre from very quiet to medium loud. 

  • Amazing shape with a classy, deep factory patina. 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.
