Frequently Asked Questions

The Legends have a more complex, bell-forward tone and a drier overall feel than the A Customs, which tend to be a bit more open and splashy.
Yes, their medium-thin top makes them responsive to lighter stick strokes, but the overall weight still provides a solid foundation for more aggressive playing.
Regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner and occasional polishing will help maintain their dark finish and prevent unwanted build-up, preserving their unique tonal qualities.
