Function Over Form Over Function?

Cymbals are (usually) round for a reason. Shapes other than circles can sound… interesting.

I wanted to make the 18″ crash and 20″ ride cymbals fit inside the bass drum. This was function: portability! So I had to cut them down. The 18″ one is still mostly round, but the 20″ one ended up mostly square.

But square cymbals fit the aesthetic of my square drumkit. So is it form or function?
It’s probably a little of both, but upon hearing the 20″ square ride cymbal I decided it’s most likely form.

Bad form? lol
