I know, I know. I just couldn't help myself, could I? I'm so sorry for the harm caused by that pun.
On the other hand, I've just riveted my Istanbul Ride. For those that haven't read the other thread, I was considering riveting it to get more of a 'cushion' out of the ride whilst keeping the stick definition that it has. It's a great ride, I just wanted to get a little more out of it. So I decided to rivet.
I've included a pair of sound files. One before, one after. These were recorded with a pair of overheads and a mic on the kick (such that it is, it's my 16" bass!). The only processing is panning, mic placement and level adjustment. There's absolutely no EQ or compression on the recordings. The playing is a little on the ropey side (as always) but is representative of how I usually play this cymbal.
First, the pictures. Clamp, mark, drill, insert and hammer slightly. That's all there is to it!
Pro tip: When you download the .Wav files, they won't play properly. Go to the filename and it'll read 'filename.wav.html' - delete the .html part from the end of the file name so that it reads 'filename.wav' then it should play properly. This forum always seems to do that and I don't know why!
