- 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 this unique 24” DARK COMPLEX LANDMARK Multi Ride Crash is the perfect example of why!
- Hell, don’t just take my word for it - have a listen!
- For the price of a big box store K Light Ride or Paiste, you can play something custom-hand crafted and beautiful while watering the art of cymbal-smithing.
- And it’s a generous-sized 24”! Thats love!
- Imagine a very, very sweet sounding Semi-Dry Dark Complex Agop 30th Anniverary - but in a 24” and much more smooth and refined sounding!
- Voila!
- I call this golden hued 24” a Multi Application cymbal because it rides and well as it crashes. Cymbal swells are organic and rich with a perfect blend of complexity and control - and a fairly quick decay for a large 24” - complements of that light, natural patina. And THAT is a very hard combination to achieve. Clearly Timothy is not done with a cymbal until he feels it is complete.
- As you can see the craftsmanship on this unique 24” is Istanbul K -ish with beautiful varied lathing that is reminiscent of those Vintage Turkish Picassos. That’s the vibe, and this 24” is hand made and hand-signed etched under the bell with the date and factory weight provided.
- Compared to the Labyrinth Series this is a bit darker and drier with a quicker decay. The hammering is deeper as well.
- And speaking of bell - the bell is a perfect 5” lending a perfect balance of stick attack and semi-dry wash and that’s a great thing on a thinner, hand hammered complex cymbal. Overall this Landmark is controlled. And fairly dry.
- The plain of the cymbal is medium to medium low yielding a great darker tone - it’s not super broad and out of control, but there’s enough bright and dark tones that you can tell it’s hand made.
- The underside is a mirrored reflection of the top.
- Swells and crashes magnificently but still fairly quick decay. So beautiful this could easily be an orchestral cymbal.
- Perfect for any genre from very quiet to medium loud.
- Stunning shape with no issues! Glowing, golden hue.
- 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.
