Frequently Asked Questions
It's significantly drier and more controlled; less wash and sustain, more focused stick definition – think a more 'musical' crash than a loud explosion.
Yes, it will tarnish faster than a lacquered cymbal. Regular cleaning and occasional waxing will help preserve its appearance and sound.
While it can handle it, the smaller size and dry character mean it won't project as powerfully as a larger, more aggressively voiced china.
