Fair enough, man!
Here's a crappy outdoor cell-phone clip that I recorded 7 or 8 years ago:

I was going through an external hard drive, looking for something else, but cam across these photos of a 22" Spizzichino "Jackhammer" TW that I once had.
Roberto made a small handful of these sometime around 2006 or 2007, we're talking maybe 4 of them, and I don't recall seeing any others after that batch. I passed on buying one when they were initially available, but I bought this one from my pal @Izual in 2008 or 2009, and I wish I still had it.
Anyway, we referred to them as "Jackhammer" TWs for obvious reasoning. The hammer that Roberto used on these was not small, and he certainly wasn't delicate with his hammering on them.
You'll have to forgive the photo quality of these shots; I took them in early 2009, and digital cameras weren't what they are now, but there's enough in the shots to appreciate the intensity of Roberto's work.
As you can imagine, the tone of this cymbal was extremely complex, and shank crashes could rattle the fillings in your teeth loose. There was a lot of tension in the feel, too.
Really, really fun to play.

As I continue to grow my collection of 1950's A Zildjians, I continue to admire both their sound and their visual beauty. Here are a couple of sexy cymbal photos of my 19" and 20" small stamps.

Looks amazing. As a Nolan junkie, this really pushes my buttons. Would love to hear it at some point.

Here's a Paiste 14" Sound Creation Dark Medium Hi-Hat Bottom cymbal.
The hammering on this one is intense; more so than on any other Sound Creation that I've seen, and when the light hits it from a good angle, I like how the different layers of hammering, with varying hammer sizes, and varying hammering intensities can be seen.
Side note- I've been playing this one with an Agop 30th on top of it, and it's a beautiful pairing.

Here's a recently acquired cymbal.
A link to a recording I made today is beneath the photos.
Spizzichino 20.5", 2253 grams. An early one; with the "S" at the of the word "CYMBAL" in Roberto's stamp.
It's got a low profile, and a lower and narrower bell than usual, with a very smooth bridge between the bell and body. It's a like a combination of a super low-pitched ancient sounding old stamp K. Zildjian, mixed with a slightly-less-trashy version of a Meinl Dragon China Ride, but with a lot more stick definition than the Dragons had.
I love it.

I've posted this add photo, but it is no less sexy!
