Well Ruffus, ya sure got’em good this time. Ah ye Clide!! I got’em when they least expected, those slimey sons of a gun couldn’t see it coming. They don’t call me the fastest hands on this side of the rusty creek for nuthin, eh! Sure Ruffus, but, are you gon share’em with me and the cousin? Y’know that we’ve been thinkin bout raising and selling toads for a while now, and those tadpoles sure look juicy. Hmmmm.. I don’t know Clide, what’s in it for me? Whats it you got to offer? Jeez Ruffus, not much, you know mamma ain’t got no money and the toad business hasn’t even got off the ground.. we poor Ruffus, you too… We got here with nuthin, and we’re probably leaving with just as little. We' be broke if it wasn’t for the song in our hearts, Ruffus… Care to sing it with me? Sure Clide, you are right, sorry. Lets give this water critters a soulful respite from the terrible claws of mother nature’s capricious hierarchies, a taste of the grace the almighty has gifted upon you. Ain’t nobody that could sing as sweet as you Clide, nobody indeed.

The Heritage:
Round, nuanced, evocative, light. A mellow yet outspoken cymbal inspired by nostalgia, defined by its even and smooth topography, steep transition, amber soft-dulled patina, medium sized semi domed hand-formed bell, and a breathy wash which still allows for a widely dynamic stick articulation to sit on top.
An all-around cymbal born to a jazz obsession, my homage to what I’ve rarely ever held or played: decades old bronze.

Same thing applies for this one, Rec II. I am probably going to make it a two part tale, or maybe a fake movie trailer of a movie called “Rec I”, and then “Rec II, the Rec’ening” or something silly like that. But for now, all you get is a really good cymbal.

These O.a.ks are all about clarity and cleanliness. They still showcase the obvious sonic complexities that a cymbal fully formed by hand-hammering would naturally exhibit, but they do so in a much more orderly and balanced fashion. You can think of them as the middle ground between an STB O.a.k and an MBU O.a.k, though that might not do justice, as they have a voice unique to themselves. IMPORTANT!: Just like the Super Jazz, these are a sporadic appearance within my body of work, so you shouldn’t expect many more of them to come in future batches.

A small workshop near the heart of Brussels ran solely by independent cymbalsmith:
Mariano Gabriel Quijano
A space dedicated fully to the creation of highly expressive and dynamic instruments, where attentive and precise hand-hammering, lathing and patina processes, both traditionally learnt and independently developed through the years are used to achieve nonesuch results.
All cymbals are made using Turkish-origin B20 bronze of the highest quality sourced from various traditional foundries, and every single bell is hand-hammered into shape, yielding deeper complexity, blooming high-end harmonics and generally allowing for a wider array of possible sonic outcomes.

Where will he end up residing, ideologically speaking? We all tend to think the answer is obvious, but for our own sake, we better hope the gradient is more complex than just a couple of possible resting states. And we better hope we are wrong about the meaning of allegiance when the sun finally comes down.. Cause its starting to become chilly, and the colors of dusk are already peaking at the horizon. We don’t want to need him, we surely don’t, but to our deepest dismay, we do.
