Members Carminemw Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Maybe as a piece of art or to melt some brass. Not for playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sa9023 Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 For effects, that's about it. I have a cracked 16" crash that I cut 4 slots out of, now its cracking again, but it's a great effects cymbal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sa9023 Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 i'd use it.....for FX that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members e-b-e Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 I wonder if they sold the other parts of the cymbal in other auctions, lol.That "cymbal" looks more like a chinese star than a chinese cymbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zarazabas Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hahah, they gave it 3 out of 5 stars for condition. I'd hate to see what a 1 looks like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slap happy drums Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Wow!! This made me laugh , worst cymbal ever! I love his quote "Keep those shiny new cymbals for your live shows and use this as a practice symbol." That guy's an idiot or has really got balls. On the subject of trashed cymbals......So I've never done it but I've always wanted to build a large set of FX chimes out of broken cymbals. Imagine a proper set of orchestra bar chimes but instead of the bars there would be 10/20 broken cymbals attached to each other and hanging from the frame , so I could whack it for a trashy rivety chime like thing. It'd be a pain in the ass to make and move but someday I'll get off my ass and build it. I've seen it done successfully w/ old keys looked more like a messy set of wind chimes but sounded cool. Anyway when building or when using worn or broken stuff always strive for free worn or broken stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ermghoti II Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 The dealer is basically a douche that buys dumpsters and sells the contents. His miserable feedback has been dwindling towards the 80's. Some of the other auctions are much worse, the same dopey ass copy is ctrlC/ctrlV-ed, but some of the photos look like decent brass. All, however, are uselessly shattered. I have pre-saved search conditions to exlude this boob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MPCman Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Lol, this one also has 3 stars out of 5 for condition:http://cgi.ebay.com/Kurzweil-K2000-Keyboard-With-Sampling-Option-NR_W0QQitemZ170117949959QQihZ007QQcategoryZ64427QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carminemw Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 I got it! I got it! It's a treasure hunt. Here's your starter cymbal piece. Somewhere in the world are the 15 other pieces that make up the rest of the cymbal. Most are buried on a desert island, but one is somewhere at the top of Mt. Kilamanjaro. 3 people are placed as guides in the Fiji islands. You get dropped off out at sea in the Black Sea and you have to swim to the islands to get your first clue, and then.... Sorry, the medication has finally kicked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agogobill Posted June 2, 2007 Members Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yes. Severely broken cymbals make for great companions. You can use them to bring light into people's lives by taking them to old folk's homes, etc., and letting the people interact. It's very heartwarming to see the looks on people's faces that these "forgotten" cymbals can bring. No need to send them to the smelter when they still have many good years left in them.

Members danrothmusic Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 I like the Frisbee idea... I have a ZBT crash/ride that we flipped inside-out (sounded like a cheap china), then back right-side out, and a friend of mine made the edges wavy, cut six 1.25" holes into it, added 4 rivets and riveted 6 tambourine jingles to.It is the trashiest cymbal that I have ever heard.

Members Majoria Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Not sure I want that frisbee coming back to me..... I prefer to chuck them at bandmates to get their attention or just random discipline. I find I do not get ignored when this occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but everytime he hits it, it sounds like a cross between a mariachi band and Chinese New Years. Let's call it the Chariachi Sizzle Jingle! We can market it as the "CSJ" series. Whadaya think!

Members Kevin K Is A OK Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 Oh you can sell them to retards that will actually buy something that's "broken" on ebay whether it's a little crack or cracked in half and they'll show up on this forum all pissed off WTF THE BROKEN CYMBAL I PAID MONEY FOR IS REALLY BROKEN *negative feedback* That seller is in business because there are people out there dumb enough to buy their shit. I saw a "dietary supplement" on TV that "cures" pretty much every disease including congenital anomalies such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, mental retardation, etc. And people were buying it up! Well there's a simple aptitude test. Take anyone who paid money for that stuff and tie their tubes. No reproduction for them! Same goes for people who pay money for broken cymbals on ebay! And Korn fans! I am teh consoomer, I am the all-purpose blob. I can't think for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
