Tim!! You crushed this! I am so totally blown away by what you were able to achieve with this cymbal. It will certainly be a treasure for me for many many years. Thank you!
-
The cymbal in its original form was surprisingly decent, even for some jazz. I've heard a lot worse at higher price points. Of course you made it a lot better. Great job and interesting video!
-
One thing about those XS20 rides: they were remarkably consistent. You can pretty much count on them sounding exactly like this. What a cool idea this video was!
-
Nice work.
-
as a drummer you helped fill in some blanks on why cymbals sound the way they do... will definetly help me choose cymbals in the future!
-
It was already much better after round 1! The fact that you knew exactly what to do to take it to another level after round 2 just shows your level of mastery. Amazing work! 👏👏👏

What a great video! I love it that tweaking cymbals and making them better versions of themselves is now a thing.
