Frequently Asked Questions
It's more refined than some of the harsher, more brittle trash cymbals; the B20 bronze offers a richer, more complex tone.
It's a traditional finish, meaning it retains a bright sheen but has subtle hammer marks and a slightly aged patina – not a completely raw bronze look.
While versatile, its aggressive sound and short sustain make it less ideal for very quiet styles; it's best used sparingly to add punctuation.
