A larger 11”/13”/15” b20 Bronze Clapstack. Not for sale, but ordered by a customer. I pretty much have stuff for stacks always in stock or can get them done relatively soon. They range in price from $90-400 depending on size and materials. And I can mix materials and sizes. This one would be on the more pricey side being of bronze and larger sizes

Progress video on this 22” Traditional Ride. Going to take a little more weight off it and give it a patina to dry it up a bit. Hoping to give it the Old K vibe

*SOLD* 14” Modified Brass Camber Hi Hats. For Sale $135. Thin, Dry and responsive at all dynamics. Had fun modifying these funky hi hats. Apologies, anytime I read the word “Brass” the Beastie boys song Brass Monkey starts playing in my head 🙂 A product of growing up in the 90s

Not for sale but just wanted to share this 18” custom ordered 18” Big Wave Crash. Had fun messing around with different logos/engravings/patina etc. it’s a little much but I dig it. Sounds great most importantly.

It’s not a Swish! ;) Call it whatever you like! But I think it’s pretty cool. Dry, Bright w complex overtones. Very rideable with great stick definition. A fun experiment. For Sale $425

20” Ride-China, 2364 grams, w/ a mini hand formed bell. Handmade and hammered in Hawaii, of b20 Turkish Bronze. This cymbal was inspired by a conversation my friend Cody Rahn and I were having about a Ride that has some China attributes or a China that is very “rideable”. And, it is indeed very rideable. I think it’s a little different than what we originally discussed but I already have plans to make more. It has Killer stick definition and nice to play. Very low profile and on the heavier side. Not the best crash, but that wasn’t my intended goal with this particular cymbal. I wanted it to be ride focused and made for playing time. This is a cymbal I made during the power outage of hurricane Lala. I think it’s really cool and unique for sure. I realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but no cymbal is. However, if you want it, It’s For Sale $425, just send me a dm.

We got pretty hard by the Hurricane! Power still out but we’re all safe and property/shop ok. I didn’t get much work done but was able to hammer out some special cymbals. It was a nice time to really focus on creativity and quality hammering. Just me and my thoughts and the bronze. Check out this nice China with a hand formed bell. I’m still unreachable for the most part. I’m in the next town over for a minute and for some service so I thought I’d share the. Aloha!.

Winds blowing, rain pouring, power is flickering. Only a matter of time! That’s ok, tomorow can be a hammering day.
