Frequently Asked Questions

The Sultan series combines elements of both Traditional and Turk series, offering the dryness of the Turk with more brilliance than the fully unlathed Turk models.
While it has good definition, its darker, drier sound isn't ideal for aggressive, high-volume rock or metal styles; a brighter ride would cut through better.
A nylon tip or a lighter wood tip will allow the cymbal’s natural warmth and complexity to shine, avoiding harshness.
