Frequently Asked Questions

The Agop is drier and darker, with less wash; the Zildjian A Custom is brighter, more shimmering, and has more sustain.
While versatile, its dry character isn’t ideal for aggressive, high-volume rock or metal; it’ll be better suited for more nuanced playing.
Hand-hammering creates a unique sound, and with proper care – avoiding excessive hitting and regular cleaning – it should offer excellent longevity.
