Method of Production: Pressure Point Technology
Pressure Point Technology involves a specialized method of hammering that targets specific areas of the cymbal to enhance its tonal qualities. By applying pressure to certain points of the cymbal, this technique allows for greater control over the cymbal's sound. The result is a more dynamic and expressive cymbal that offers improved tonal balance.
