Frequently Asked Questions
While it'll work, its thinner build and bright tone might get lost in heavier genres. It's best suited for pop, funk, or lighter rock.
It's a step above many budget splashes; the Paiste name and CuSn8 bronze give it a noticeably better sound and feel than cheaper options, though still not as complex as premium brands.
Absolutely not; its small size and thinness mean it won't produce a usable ride sound. It's specifically designed for splash duties only.
