Yes, the traditional finish isn't lacquered, so it will develop a natural patina over time. This is part of the cymbal's character and doesn't negatively impact its sound.
While it can handle moderate playing, this splash isn't built for aggressive, high-volume rock or metal; it's designed for more nuanced applications.
