Frequently Asked Questions

The Xists are brighter and more focused than the A Customs, which tend to have a more complex, nuanced character. The Xists offer a more direct, cutting sound.
While they *can* be used for jazz, their brightness might be a bit much for very subtle playing. You’d need to be careful with your stick technique to control the volume and avoid excessive shimmer.
The Brilliant finish is a surface treatment and doesn’t significantly impact the cymbal’s lifespan. However, it *will* show wear and tear more visibly than a more matte finish.
