Frequently Asked Questions

The SoundEdge cuts away some of the outer rim, resulting in a more focused, defined sound and reduced wash – it’s brighter and more controlled than a standard 2002.
While durable, its brighter character isn’t ideal for extremely aggressive playing; it'll sound thin and brittle. It’s better suited for more nuanced and articulate styles.
A medium-weight 2002 or a slightly darker bronze bottom will balance the brightness and provide a more versatile, controllable hi-hat sound.
