Frequently Asked Questions

The Asian Sound Tamtam offers a darker, more brooding tone than Zildjian’s brighter, more shimmering options. It’s a different sonic character, focusing on depth rather than sparkle.
While the description doesn’t explicitly state it, based on the tonal complexity and surface imperfections, it appears to be at least partially hand-hammered, though likely with some machine involvement in the initial forming process.
It's likely a B20 bronze alloy, which is standard for most tam tams, but the specific composition isn’t disclosed. The resulting tone suggests a decent quality bronze, though not a premium-grade alloy.
