Frequently Asked Questions

It’s warmer and more complex than a typical medium, with a more pronounced wash and shimmering overtones achieved through the unique hammering process.
The bell is prominent, but controllable with technique; softer playing brings out the warmth, while a harder hit emphasizes the articulation.
A nylon tip or a lighter wood tip will help retain the warmth and complexity, preventing harshness and preserving the cymbal’s natural character.
