Members Gremson Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 It's useless. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ResoHead Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 should be fine. most of the school cymbals have little chips out (starving freshman?) and sound fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pinhigh Posted February 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 cool,i still emailed the guy asking why he didnt mention the dings.i just think its better to be honest.the cymbal sounds good but i just need to know if those spots are weak and will crack easily heres a pic.doesnt show the dents but its still nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff Graw Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 It may just be the hand hammering. Won't be able to tell without a closeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pinhigh Posted February 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Take a close up.

Members Gremson Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Can you draw us a picture? Maybe try using hand signals to describe the damaged area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drumtechdad Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 In the absence of appropriate pictures--dammit!--it seems to me that broad dents are less worrisome than sharp, pinch-like dents. I say play the {censored} out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DantheDrummer Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 how much did you give for it is the first question. Now the statement, you said it sounds good... screw it, it sounds good and has a few unexplainable, non-picturable, undescribable dents. Beat the crap out of it for a good few years till it doesn't sound good and then drill vents in it and make it sound good as a k ozone and beat it for another year or so until its all woppy flopped then take a hammer to it and flip it inside out and try to see what other interesting sounds may come and just enjoy it whild you can until it cracks then cut out the crack and.... you get my drift? it sounds good, use it and make it your own. have a good day.
