Near Death Caused By HDD

Books and elderly people.....surely not? I mean, I know more than my parents anyway; have done since my teen years. Or so I think......

 

Well, perhaps Aluminum HDD Platters would do great cymbals, after all we do have Titanium cymbals, riiiight? Haha.

Anyway, beatsiz, I know you don't know me or anything, but just to add up to the comicality of the thread, perhaps your exposure to mural paintings without organic masks had effects that weren't short-term at all...*looks at "100+% fragmented" harddrives* no offenses meant.

 

I know this will make a great sizzle on my ride between the felt and ride, possibly if I hit it it will be a high-pitched gong like splash which isn't really findable! You usually make your own, since anything that has a "Bell" usually rings out, flat just pierces, hence "Phil's Aluminum Hard Drive Platter Fast Splash Gongs"

What do you mean titatnium? TITATIUM PLATTERED HDD's?!?!?! WHERE?!?!?!!?


What is bigger than 3.5" HDD's? Please refrain from saying 3.5"+ since that is obvious, and yes I am too lazy to google it right now

Hahaha


EDIT: Opened a 250GB External HDD that was broken... THREE (thick...) ALUMINUM PLATTERS ! ! !
STACK'EM BABY ! ! !
WOW ! ! ! these thicker ones ring out way longer and are higher pitched! (denser metal I think)




PS: Anybody know if I the platter is toxic? I was rubbing it against my cheek enjoying the coldness of it and flicking it for the sound when I all of sudden thought of "toxic" lol

 

There shouldn't be anything toxic. Maybe a bit of lubricating grease.

From what I've read in review, titanium cymbals aren't all that great. Cast bronze is where it's at. For now I'm stuck with Zildjian ZHT sheet bronze, but for their price, they're fantastic.

My bad for going OT.

 

OT?


I have (and yes you will orgasm):

14" Zildjian Avedis New Beat Hi-Hat's

22"X20" Bass Drum (Didn't have a choice, but I don't regret it at all)
14"X7.5" Snare


I got the shell pack for $700... SEVEN HUNDRED BUCKS, BRAND NEW, STRAIGHT FROM SONOR!




Now with HDD Platter Sizzler on the ride and thin HDD Hi-Hat Ping

 

FYI OT = Off Topic

 

Wow, you are one rich kid, what with all the surplus HDD's you could *fragment.* Wow.

And hey, I didn't mean Titanium HDD Platters, although that would be a real product there, right? Hahahaha a new Disk Shock Protection system ftw!

 

I have been saving up for this kit for over 3 years and I sold my old one and kept that money until now...
And in a family where everyone plays music, instruments have priority.


I set that up for $2000. Retail would of been $3000+

And this setup will last for years and years to come.
I will probably never give up the cymbals, the shells will last me a couple decades.




I fragmented a Broken 3.5" HDD (turns out the bearings or something in there was making scratchy noises and stuff... it's from 1999)

And a 2.5" that was buzzing and dying on me after 2 years of nearly 24/7 uptime and my early days of throwing things onto my harddrive, installing things here and there, and my computer would reboot after an update and shutdown after 15 seconds and it would keep booting and crash, so the HDD kept clicking... so yeaaah hahaha
