Frequently Asked Questions
The Extreme series is significantly brighter and louder than the Classics Custom, with a shorter sustain and more direct attack.
Probably not; its aggressive brightness and short decay will likely overpower the delicate nuances of those genres.
A robust cymbal stand with good dampening capabilities is essential to control its volume and resonance – a heavier stand will help minimize unwanted vibrations.
