Frequently Asked Questions

The Xist series is generally brighter and more modern sounding, while this Traditional Ride focuses on a warmer, more vintage character and a more complex wash.
Each cymbal is hand-hammered, so there will be subtle variations in the hammering pattern, contributing to its unique sonic signature – no two are exactly alike.
While the dark wash leans towards a warmer tone, the defined stick definition allows it to cut through funk and R&B mixes, just be mindful of the overall brightness of your kit.
