Frequently Asked Questions

The contrasting Extra Dry and Brilliant finishes create a wider sonic palette, allowing for more nuanced dynamic control and a wider range of trashy textures than a single finish would provide.
While it's designed to be trashy, its thin profile and fast decay allow for controlled, quieter accents; however, it excels when pushed for more aggressive sounds.
The hammering creates a more complex overtone structure, while the lathing focuses the sound and contributes to the cymbal's responsiveness and fast decay.
