For symbols, try making a cylinder and then delete everything but the top part. Then you can inset that, and move the center up a bit. Smooth it out, and you will have a good enough symbol shape. You might want to copy + paste, and merge another copy of the symbol onto onto itself after that with the normals flipped, so it becomes 2 sided.

It's really nice to see something completely different being posted (haven't had too many music instruments yet Smile

)!

I'll bet fixing up the cymbals (tricky shape) like Daaark suggest and adding some fancy texturing will make this look awesome!

Ah, so very true! The great thing about not having a memory is that you discover new things all day long... Embarassed

I just got this book for my birthday. It's about how to enhance your memory. I forgot the titel though.

With some good textures, those would look real. Great job there. Smile
