Creates the raw bell and larger hammering described for this model.

Independent shopping perspective
Built as a 20-inch China with a dark, trashy response, the HHX Dominator opens quickly for a fast attack. Its top-side lathing treatment creates the raw bell and larger hammering, while also giving the cymbal its wavy surface. The design reflects Dom Famularo’s approach of striking both sides of a China, making it a focused choice for expressive, immediate accents.
