Frequently Asked Questions
Pure Alloy generally leans towards a warmer, more vintage character, while Byzance offers a broader range of sounds, often with more complex overtones.
It’s a characteristic, not a flaw – it reduces harshness and blends well within a drum kit, creating a more cohesive soundscape.
While playable, its limited sustain makes it less ideal for those genres where a longer, more dramatic crash is desired; it'll be more subtle.
