Frequently Asked Questions

The Meinl has a slightly more complex, nuanced shimmer, while the Zildjian A Custom tends to be more focused and direct in its sound.
While it’s versatile, its thin weight and bright tone won’t cut through high-gain music as well as heavier splashes; it’s better suited for more nuanced applications.
The hand-hammering contributes to a subtle complexity and a more organic feel, preventing the sound from being too sterile; it's a defining characteristic of the Byzance series.
