Frequently Asked Questions

The A Series are generally brighter and more cutting, whereas these offer a warmer, more complex tone with a more traditional feel.
While versatile, their warmer character might require EQ to sit well in a heavily produced pop mix, compared to brighter hi-hat options.
The 'Special' series often features more complex hammering patterns and unique profiles, resulting in a more overt, expressive sound compared to the more classic 'Traditional' series.
