That's bad news. I saw some videos and thought, the guy looks sick, and it turned out he was.
He had a great concept - taking already made cymbals and re-hammering them to his "own vision"...
Hats off to a great guy...

Ouch. How did it get past me that Roberto Spizzichino had died, back in November? 11.22.11. There goes one from my bucket list (and I don't have many), to go to Italy and buy a set of his work. I didn't know him, but the news is sad. An interesting, perhaps brilliant, and ardent man. |

Hey, Goki. I didn't know that he reworked existing cymbals; quite possibly he did, but he did make cymbals, I think from blanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-zoAJWpHZA |

He made amazing stuff, not much I could use without killing it, but really beautiful instruments. i do like that there are a bunch of people who have been inspired to take on cymbalsmithing in the last few years, keeps things sounding interesting |
