Frequently Asked Questions
The Thomann ltd. set uses brass, which is brighter and more cutting than the bronze alloy in the standard HCS line. Expect a more immediate, less complex tone.
While functional, the thinner weight of the 20 in Ride will likely sound a bit underwhelming for aggressive styles; it's better suited for lighter accompaniment.
Yes, the brushed finish will darken and develop a patina fairly quickly, especially with frequent use and exposure to sweat – this is natural and part of the cymbal’s aging process.
