Sound Character

The cymbal is made from a B10 alloy of 90% copper and 10% tin, produced with a hi-tech, computer-controlled process. The special heat treatment doesn't just give it its dark look – it also shapes a unique sound: a bright tone seasoned with a dark low end and a medium-high pitch. Sustain sits at a medium level with a clear spray of overtones, and volume is medium but with a brilliant wash when you dig in.

Who It's For

Thanks to its wide tonal range and clear attack, this cymbal works well across several genres – rock, metal, pop and fusion are all mentioned by the manufacturer. A solid choice if you want a ride with both bright attack and dark low-end fullness.
