Frequently Asked Questions
The Troy series is the entry-level offering; expect slightly thinner profiles and a more straightforward sound compared to the higher-end Masterwork lines like the Artisan or Signature series.
The brilliant finish is reasonably durable, but it will show marks and fingerprints more easily than a more matte finish, and will require more frequent cleaning to maintain its appearance.
While it's versatile, the Troy's warmer tone and medium weight might get lost in heavier, more aggressive metal styles. A heavier, more complex cymbal would likely perform better.
