hi ya . i have a question .....and it's prob not possible........ but before i do this as in experiment by cutting a cymbal i want some advice.........
right i use a splash cymbal in my stage act and it's close mic'd so sounds pretty BIG in mix........ now for my travel setup .yes a compact travel setup is my "hobby" ? so always seeking idea's .so what i want to do is find out if a cymbal will still ring if it's not a circle........ so if i take an 8" splash cymbal and cut a wedge out of it like a slice if cake with the centre still intact but then it fans out ..... so in fact using only maybe a 1/4 or even 1/6th of the whole round cymbal.if i close mic it will it still chime as before or does the round design dictate that .so basically if it works i could just use a wedge of a cymbal instead of the whole one...and cut down on space /weight ect and it need'nt be loud as close mic'ing will provide volume as long as it has a cymbal sound however soft
so one for the technical bofs
