Frequently Asked Questions
It's more controlled and less wash than a traditional China; the hammering provides a quicker, more focused response.
The hybrid finish is robust, but excessive hammering can still cause some minor surface wear, typical of cymbals of this type.
While versatile, the aggressive trashiness might overpower quieter jazz passages; a more traditional, lighter cymbal would likely be preferable.
