Frequently Asked Questions
The 2002 is brighter and more defined, while the Signature Dark is noticeably darker and more complex, with a longer, more washy decay.
Like any bronze cymbal, it’s possible, but the 2002 series is known for its relative durability if cared for properly - avoid hitting it too hard or on a hard surface.
While it’s versatile, the brighter character might get lost in heavier, more distorted metal mixes; darker crashes would be a better fit.
