Frequently Asked Questions

The Extra Dry side dampens the fundamental, while the Brilliant side retains some projection, creating a complex, nuanced response that’s faster than a traditional crash.
While not as powerfully loud as a heavier crash, the brilliant side provides decent projection; layering it with other cymbals will ensure it cuts through a live mix.
This Dual Trash offers a more refined, complex trash sound than the standard Trash, with a broader dynamic range thanks to the contrasting finishes.
