Here is an old 22" Avedis I've just finished re-creating. It was sent to me by a drummer from the USA.
Originally the cymbal was a 1940's transtamp at 2649gr, sounding fairly aggressive IMO and everything but clicky. The idea was to make it lighter, more jazzy and darker but with a better stick definition.
The finish had to be a regular type of lathing, not a patina finish or banded lathing like some of my other work.
I've totally re-hammered and re-shaped it and lathed it down to 2330 grams.
Here's a
before and after soundclip....
It now looks like this:
