Diy cymbal stands
 
Stupid idea?
Thanks.

Or magic wands or bamboo or monkeys trained to keep em high while I hit them (the cymbals, not the monkeys).
Yes, make them.
But used ones are already pretty cheap.
So, yeah, how's your day?
I saw you like my new friend. It's almost as old as I am.

music stands, mic stands, bits of old metal. anything that can take a severe beating.

I just got the idea to turn an old clothes rack in a cymbals hanger.
Something like this with a couple cymbals hanging.



 

I like this idea.
I'll ask some clothes stores if they will get rid of theirs. I remember I saw some of them put amidst the monnezza from time to time.
My day has been pretty good, girl.
Got to know my new friend, put down a few ideas, got a couple nice news.
Good all in all.

p.s. I'm not at all a "wild" performer when I play, so I don't need anything hypersturdy-durable, actually...I don't think the "swinging cymbals" could be much of a problem if the rack is wide enough, I don't plan to hit them tooooo hard (I've weird ideas on how to use them).

he's asking for "stupid ideas". all of those are perfectly reasonable.

you're doing it wrong.

stacks of 100 year-old nitroglycerine blasting caps glued together.

ok then, a small child use one of them.

that was honestly my first choice, but it sounded doable enough. in fact,
I'm sure glice has already tried it.

make them hold the cymbal in their hands and hit it as hard as you can. if the weep, cane them.

I should probably add that I won't use "good" cymbals, but rather some leftovers (semi-btoken, rusty, etc) from friends.
I love how that kind of things sound anyway.
