Frequently Asked Questions

The Xists are generally brighter and more articulate than the A Customs, which tend to have a warmer, more mellow sound. It really comes down to personal preference in tonal color.
While they're versatile, the lighter weight and brilliant finish might lack the aggressive power some rock and metal drummers prefer; heavier players might find them too delicate.
The Xist series uses a more modern manufacturing process and generally offers a brighter, more contemporary sound, while the Traditionals are hand-hammered and have a warmer, more vintage character.
