Frequently Asked Questions

The Medium crash has a more pronounced, brighter character and a slightly faster decay than the Regular, offering a more explosive sound.
While it's dynamic, the inherent brightness means it’s better suited for louder playing; subtle nuances can be lost compared to a darker crash.
A nylon tip stick will tame some of the high frequencies and allow for a more controlled, musical sound; a harder tip will maximize its projection.
