Product Description
These are powerful and bright but never thin sounding. They speak clearly with a full spectrum of overtones suitable for live work, recording and concert halls. The fast stick response translates as much of the players energy into sound, so you work less and sound bigger and richer. The CONTACT crash/rides have a full sustain and consistent decay of the full overtone spectrum.
