Frequently Asked Questions
It's darker and drier than the Dark HiHat crashes, with less shimmer and more of a focused, controlled decay.
Yes, the unlathed finish will naturally oxidize, but regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner will keep it looking great and preserve its tone.
While versatile, its darker tone might get lost in a very bright, aggressive mix; a brighter crash might be more suitable for those styles.
