Frequently Asked Questions
The Traditional series has a darker, more vintage sound; this Med. Thin offers a brighter, more modern shimmer and quicker response.
The brilliant finish will tarnish over time, like all bronze cymbals. Regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner will help maintain its shine.
While versatile, the medium-thin weight might be overwhelmed by a very aggressive drummer – a heavier crash might be a better fit in that scenario.
