- ROCK-

In any style of Rock - hard,progressive, driving pedal to the metal- your playing will be harder, heavier, and louder. So your cymbals deliver three things; Volume, Cut, and Durability. For volume, go with bigger, heavier models. For cut, play brighter sounding series {AA, AAX, APX, Paragon}, or darker sounding models designed to project {HHX, HH, HH Rock}, or other models that meet the Cut, Volume, Durability, criteria.
