Frequently Asked Questions

The Sound Edge hats have a more complex, shimmering tone and quicker response due to the hammering, while the standard 602s are a bit more straightforward and versatile.
While they're versatile, the smaller size and lighter weight mean they might lack the full-bodied power desired for very loud, aggressive styles; they’ll cut through, but won’t have the same impact.
Expect a relatively bright, crisp stick sound, with a noticeable 'chick' that’s well-defined due to the tighter diameter – it’s not a dry or muted sound.
