Frequently Asked Questions

It's noticeably more responsive and aggressively voiced than some of the more mellow B25 options; the hand-hammering contributes significantly to that lively feel.
While it can be played softly, its aggressive nature is best suited for louder, more impactful rhythms and accents; it's not a subtle cymbal.
The hand-sealed edge prevents excessive ringing and creates a more focused, controlled wash, which helps it cut through a dense drum mix.
