Frequently Asked Questions
The process primarily affects the appearance, creating a vintage patina. It doesn't significantly compromise the cymbal’s structural integrity or long-term durability.
While versatile, its full and dark character leans toward more nuanced styles. It *can* be used, but it won't have that aggressive, cutting edge often desired in heavier music.
The hammering introduces subtle variations in thickness, creating a more complex and responsive sound with a wider range of overtones and a more organic feel.
