Frequently Asked Questions

A gong offers a much lower, more resonant tone and longer sustain; this cymbal is higher-pitched and more focused.
It's durable, but the bright finish is prone to showing marks and requires more careful handling and regular cleaning to maintain its shine.
While described as aggressive, the B20 bronze offers complexity; however, if you want a truly mellow, wash-like sound, consider a darker, unlathed China cymbal.
