Frequently Asked Questions
Pure Alloy is generally more forgiving and resistant to cracking than B20, making it a durable choice for frequent use.
It's definitely loud enough, but layering with a brighter cymbal can help it really pop in a dense mix.
The traditional finish and hammering help mitigate that potential issue, but it won't have the shimmering, explosive quality of a B20 – it's more controlled and focused.
