With Nicolas 🥸

Having fun exloring my new cymbals✨ 🎧 recommended All handmade by norwegian cymbal smith @ck_cymbals . The rides weigh 2200g (on the right) and 1899g (on the left, the hats are 14“1/4. He recently installed some rivets in the two rides, which gives it a shimmer that I really like. I also own a pair of 15‘ hats made by Christer not shown in the video. Check out his great work! #drums #cymbals #cymbalsmith #nicolasstocker #drumsolo
