Frequently Asked Questions
The Agops are generally drier and darker than the A Customs, which tend to be more shimmering and versatile. The Agops offer more nuanced stick definition and a more controlled sound.
These are fully hand-hammered, a traditional process that contributes significantly to their complex sound and responsiveness. Each hat receives individual attention from skilled artisans.
Yes, they're responsive enough to work well with lighter sticks, allowing for more subtle and nuanced playing, but they also handle heavier sticks for a more powerful sound.
