Still, i'd put symbols like that on a kit. =p
I love the copper ones, they turn green with the oxidation, looks great with foliage!
I tried to buy them in Japan for use in my home, but they were cost prohibitive!! Even in the US they are $50+ each for steel or brass, not copper!
Further research in instructables showed me rain chain at roof gutter. Look at rain chains world .com for ideas.
With they cymbals, don't forget to leave a little room for the vibrations to occur = don't clamp down the nuts, it'll stop the vibration and the sustained sounds that cymbals are known for. Maybe put it in the rain, not at the downspout. Subtle and surprising are quite beautiful. And the neighbors won't complain about it.
I was considering mounting one upside down on a semi-rigid spring. it would fill with water slowly - changing the sound of the drips - and then eventually tip, dumping the water and resuming the cycle.
to bad for me the Texas panhandle is bone dry :(
Those cymbals were 10$???
I'd gladly pay 100$.......
