I think you can play with either the big fat sound, or with the "lazerish" and be an efficient player. The "sound", while asisited with our equipment, comes from the concepts we have in our heads of what kind of sound we think is suppose to be coming out the bell. Being an efficient player, and trying to pay easier ... that's in how you physicaly approch the bad boy.
