Installation
These are handheld instruments and require no mechanical installation. For optimal performance, ensure the cymbals are held firmly by the center of the bell to allow the edges to vibrate freely upon impact. Store in a padded case or on a dedicated cymbal stand when not in use to prevent warping or surface damage.
