Frequently Asked Questions

Pure Alloy uses a slightly different bronze composition, resulting in a drier, more focused tone with less overtones compared to standard B20 alloys.
While it's versatile, its drier character might not provide the wash needed for very aggressive styles; it’s better suited for more controlled, nuanced playing.
The extensive hammering shapes the cymbal’s tone, creating a focused stick sound and increasing its durability by distributing stress across the surface.
