Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the traditional finish and medium weight contribute to good projection, making it suitable for moderate to loud stage volumes, though a larger size might be preferable for very high-volume situations.
The traditional finish will darken naturally with use, and stick marks are more common with this type of finish compared to brighter, lacquered cymbals, but it’s part of the character.
