Frequently Asked Questions
It’s brighter and quicker, with less sustain; the holes significantly reduce the wash, giving it a more immediate attack.
They are strategically placed by hand to optimize the cymbal’s response and tonal characteristics – not completely random, but not perfectly symmetrical either.
While it can handle rock, the relatively lighter weight and quick decay might get lost in very heavy metal mixes; it's better suited for mid-level volume applications.
