Frequently Asked Questions

The Byzance Dark has a slightly more complex overtones and a more responsive feel due to the hand-hammering, while the Traditional Dark is a bit more straightforward in its dark tone.
While technically usable, its short sustain and dark timbre won't cut through a dense, high-gain mix as effectively as a brighter splash.
A nylon tip or a lighter felt tip will help preserve the cymbal’s delicate nature and avoid harshness; harder tips will create a more brittle sound.
