Frequently Asked Questions

The Agop Signature is noticeably darker and drier; the Zildjian A Custom offers a brighter, more shimmering sound with more sustain.
Like any thin cymbal, it requires careful handling, but Istanbul Agop's bronze alloy and hammering process provide good durability.
While capable, its dark, dry nature isn’t ideal for those genres; a brighter, heavier crash would cut through the mix better.
