cymbals are super hard to get right. i think the 808 style approach with stacked square oscillators is the best I've heard. Ring modulation also helps pull out some more harmonics.

The phaser at the end didn't sound good IMO. But the sounds on the way there were useable.

Keep up the good work, these tutorials are golden when you're starting out.

Do you know, I really do not get along with any music from him at all. I find it messy and disorganized with no direction except to assume that the audience will 'love' it purely on the back end of his name.
