Whether you are throwing down deep gospel stacks, adding flavor to a funk breakdown, or accenting a progressive metal groove, its dry, earthy character adds instant depth to any modern setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Sandblasted Texturing \u0026amp; Custom Cut-Outs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unique visual and acoustic footprint of this Vintage Trash China is achieved through highly specialized surface treatments:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSandblasted Matte Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meinl’s proprietary sandblasting process treats the surface of the B20 bronze, effectively softening the harsh high-end frequencies.
