Detail 01
Black color coating
The translucent finish retains the visible appearance of the cymbal’s grooves and hammer marks.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed for prominent accents, this 16-inch black China combines a dark character with an explosive crash. Its response produces a complex, trashy wash that remains present for a medium sustain rather than disappearing immediately. The color treatment makes the attack slightly drier and more focused, with a somewhat shorter sustain. A medium-thin weight and the series’ flexible, yielding feel keep the playing response from being described as rigid.
