Frequently Asked Questions
The Chopper is more focused and aggressive; trash cymbals offer a more diffuse, washier sound.
Generally no; its loud, intense sound is best suited for louder, more aggressive genres and settings.
Sabian’s build quality is solid, but the discs are fixed and any stress fractures could lead to breakage with excessive abuse.
