Have you heard of these? I don't even know how to name them quasi-cymbals maybe. Waiting for your opinions

Wow. Those look awesome. I wouldn't even know which one I'd want first.

Meh. The stuff looks cool, but I would have absolutely no use for it at all. Not interested.

It is nice to see someone thinking in a different direction
That stuff must be cumbersome to load/unload at gigs
I would think that cases for those would be difficult

Load-in is bad enough for drummers as it is.

Those actually look really cool. Some of the songs my band plays requires me to fill up the sound with lots of splashy fills, so those could actually be really cool. Only problem, like you guys said is they're probably a pain in the ass to haul around and, some of the cooler ones are WAY too expensive for my budget.

why the hell would anyone want half-assed-made cymbals?

and you guys are right about cumbersome transport.

the vibrato sounds sorta neat, but definitely hard to incorporate. maybe the hellbell is the most useful, but even then the sustain and volume seems difficult to control. i like em.

Strange ideas, but pretty interesting all the same. Not sure where I would use them, but I would like to try.

wow those are really cool, never seen anything like it... theyd be awesome to play around with at home, but like everyone said, some of the larger ones would be hard to transport.

They should send once of each to Terry Bozzio and she if he can find any use for them. I know I don't.

It is cool that someone is trying to make something new, even though they do look like armor.

Maybe, perhaps cool for an accent piece or to toss in a different sound, but I definitly wouldn't go with a whole set-up. That would be very not practicle.

Very cool! I could see them on a Tool CD. Very nice original idea taken to the next level. One or two for effects.

they look awsome and would get you noticed a wee bit more at gigs,but i think the only real useful one,for me anyways,would be the the hanging splashes.as for settin up and load/unloading,its a pain in the arse as it is!
