There's been a few debates in the past about Al Foster's ride, being a 602 Dark or a SCDR. I tend to think it's a SC. Whichever one it is, it's a great one.
If Hammerax used contaminated metal (scrap metal), that's kind of contrary to the complex sounds we can hear emanating from them. Interesting though. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Zenstat. According to the chemical composition list you provided the Uv series has a hardness percentage below that of Zildjian's Trans and their 60's productions. Could it be that Hammerax used a little higher tin in their alloy in combination with its higher phosphorus compared to the...
Too bad Hammerax went out of business. They had a variety of unusually hammered cymbals that were un-lathed. They did have lathed ones in the Ultraviolet series and Photon Series. I'm curious to know if anyone here knows approximately the tin and copper ratio they used for their alloy?
