Frequently Asked Questions
The 2000 is generally brighter and more cutting; this Signature model offers a warmer, more complex tone with a shorter sustain.
It's genuine – the lathing and hammering process creates a noticeably quicker response and shorter decay compared to other medium crashes.
While durable, the thinner profile means it's better suited for moderate playing; aggressive metal playing could risk damage over time.
