I love the design. A couple of questions…Where do you get the secondary bell? If it’s cut from another cymbal, how do you do that safely? Does the second bell’s added height cause problems with the swing of the cymbal? Sorry if these questions seem silly, but I’m trying to anticipate any problems. Thanks for all your work. I’m getting ready to start a DIY edrum project and sites like this have been invaluable. Thanks!!
If you don’t want to mold a dome, you may use a small dish made of something that is solid enough to survive to your sticks (a small wood dish will do the job).
You may also cut the bell from a practice cymbal.
I don’t use this cymbal anymore (I removed the edge switch stuff and use it as a simple crash). Actually, this kind of home made switch doesn’t like to be smashed for years 😉
That’s why I’ve built another 3 zone cymbal, and I plan to write something about it, as soon as my 2nd ride is ready.
Though, I want to try something new to convert acoustic cymbals and I need at least 20°C outdoor and no rain to work with some stinky polyester resin. Hopefully, summer should come nextly…
