katuwaan lang
lesson learned: i think now i understand why people covet well-played vintage cymbals. the sound of a cymbal does open up after continuous beatings and i've got the proof to back it up hehehe
well the operative word is "well-played", i think a vintage cymbal that was stored and never used will still sound like crap
im going to bring out my sabians and play them everyday from now on.
next experiment, maybe i'll try burrying the cymbal for 1 month to try and make it darker.
