Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike a traditional China, this cymbal prioritizes a short, trashy decay and a more aggressive sound, offering less wash and sustain.
No, the Natural finish is machine-laced and hammered, providing a consistent trashy character without the higher price point of fully hand-hammered models.
While it’s part of the Classics Custom series, its unique trashy sound might contrast with more traditional-sounding cymbals; careful cymbal balancing is recommended.
