Frequently Asked Questions

It's less sustained and more percussive, with a shorter decay and a more 'splattery' texture – not a direct substitute for a full crash.
Yes, B20 bronze is a solid choice for durability and tonal complexity, though the stack construction does introduce potential fragility.
It's usable as a hi-hat, but the shorter size and unique construction mean it will have a much tighter, more controlled sound than a standard pair.
