Frequently Asked Questions

Pure Alloy generally offers a slightly shorter sustain, allowing for more immediate, impactful trashiness, rather than a long, drawn-out ring.
The Smoke Bronze finish dampens the cymbal slightly, contributing to the controlled trashiness and preventing excessive overtones.
The Pure Alloy model is brighter and more aggressive than the Byzance, while it offers more trashy character than the more focused Avian series.
