Frequently Asked Questions
The EFX design incorporates laser-cut holes and slots, drastically altering the cymbal’s vibration pattern for a quicker response and reduced sustain.
While it’s not overly loud, the EFX’s articulate nature means it’s still quite noticeable; it’s best suited for moderately loud to loud settings.
The sustain is noticeably shorter than a traditional A Custom, providing a more immediate and punctuated crash sound.
