Frequently Asked Questions
The hand-hammering creates a very precise and focused stick sound, more articulate than a heavily lathed ride, but less 'washy' than some.
While it’s not a loud cymbal, the focused sound cuts through well; however, it’s better suited for mid-level volumes rather than a full-on rock assault.
The raw finish drastically impacts the sound, reducing sustain, overtones, and creating the dry, earthy character; it's integral to the cymbal's design.
