Frequently Asked Questions
The Traditional series has a more raw, organic feel and a slightly darker, warmer tone compared to the brighter, more polished Signature line.
Absolutely. Its responsive nature and manageable volume make it easy to control, and it’s a great introduction to smaller cymbals.
Yes, the Regular finish will develop a patina over time, adding character and slightly altering the tone, but it’s a slower process than with a raw finish.
