    Play the Right Cymbals

    Every cymbal has its strengths and limitations. Hitting a smaller or thinner cymbal harder and harder to get a bigger sound or make it louder isnt the answer. It wasnt designed to be so loud. So dont use small, thin cymbals for high-volume, hard-hitting playing (unless you want a contrast in your set-up... but dont hit them as hard as the rest.) For volume, power and durability, choose bigger and heavier models. And consider the brighter sounding series, like AA, AAX, PRO and Sonix. Their sounds are higher pitched and more effective at cutting through a loud band. Lower pitched series, like Hand Hammered and HHX, also offer models suitable for powering any style of music.
