Around 2 and a half hours after trying out 10 different cymbals at the Memphis Drum Shop, I finally pulled the trigger on this one.6mo ⋅ hopkinsdrums ⋅ r/cymbals
Man, I love this cymbal. It does everything so well. I got a really great deal on this and the 15 Inch Light Hats a few months ago. Desert island choices for sure.2yr ⋅ HatchyMcPatchy ⋅ r/cymbals
Can anyone tell me what this cymbal is? I am pretty sure it says germanic zildjian, but I cant find anything similar to it.2yr ⋅ Phantomslayer4 ⋅ r/cymbals
1970s Avedis Zildjian cymbals made in Canada. Both 16 inch. China (?) and Crash. How much are they worth, should I clean them, and if so with what? Big thank you to anyone who can provide some guidance!3yr ⋅ druums5552 ⋅ r/cymbals
22, 23 & 24 rides, hand-hammered & lathed by myself, some fine-tuning and they'll be good to go!4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
24 Low Rough Ride. 2826g. Was planning to go further with this one, but as it is it sounds rich, warm and dark with good definition, so I think I'll let it go like this.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
Just finished this paper-thin 20 ride. 1449g, heavily hammered on different surfaces, several finishing processes, different bands of lathing, 3 rivets. Enjoys reading and going to the cinema. GSOH. Less is more, eh?5yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals

Comes a time in every cymbalsmith's life when they make a cymbal with some great big pits in it. 21.5 Ride, 2178g.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
If you're looking for visual perfection then you may need to look elsewhere. This is a rough old thing but it makes a nice noise, and that's all I'm interested in! Collingwood Cymbals 21 Thin Dry Ride, 1856g.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
Playing a gig tonight, but not been too keen on the hi-hats I've been using, so made myself a new set! 13, 871g / 961g.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
23.5 Thin Crash / Ride I've just finished, shot from underneath to show the spiral arrangement of 11 rivets.5yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals

Experimental patina / roughing up on this modded 20 Zildjian Ride. A few days soaking in some secret sauce and we're good to go.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
22 Heavy Dry Ride, 2921g. Just finished lathing, needs rest before I check it over.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
This 22 blank had a large defect near the edge causing the bronze to split. So let's have a heavy 14 Hi-Hat bottom instead.4yr ⋅ CollingwoodCymbals ⋅ r/cymbals
Put some holes in a GP stock cymbal... I wish I had more cheap cymbals to mod.7yr ⋅ wondermax50 ⋅ r/cymbals
My handmade Istanbul Mehmet cymbal. Crafted and signed by Mehmet Tamdeger himself, and selected as demo cymbal at NAMM 2012. This seemed like the place to show it off. 11yr ⋅ ShuggaCheez ⋅ r/cymbals
