Frequently Asked Questions

Pure Alloy offers a warmer, more mellow tone with less high-end shimmer than a B20, creating a more vintage feel.
The hammering is a moderate depth, resulting in a responsive crash but retaining good stick definition and a controlled decay.
While versatile, its warmer tone and medium decay make it better suited for gentler genres; heavier styles might find it lacking in sustain and aggressive shimmer.
