Frequently Asked Questions

The natural finish leaves more of the bronze's inherent character exposed, resulting in a warmer, more complex tone with more stick definition, but it also means more maintenance.
While they can be played louder, the Xist Natural cymbals are designed for a more nuanced sound and won't project as powerfully as brighter, more aggressively hammered cymbals.
They offer a slightly more 'vintage' feel and a warmer response than many modern B20 sets, with a focus on musicality over sheer volume and projection.
