Frequently Asked Questions

The Byzance series is known for its musicality, so they generally blend well, but the distinct character might require some adjustment to your overall kit balance.
The polyphonic ride offers more complex, evolving sounds – less 'wash' and more distinct bell and stick articulations, perfect for intricate patterns.
While responsive and beautiful, the extra thin crash is best suited for players with a more controlled technique; aggressive playing could lead to cracking or damage.
