Frequently Asked Questions

Byzance cymbals are generally more complex and nuanced, while this Classics Custom set prioritizes power and a more direct, fundamental sound.
The 20 in ride is best for foundational grooves; its weight and dark tone make it less ideal for fast, complex rhythms.
The heavy weight of the hi-hats will provide a solid pedal response and resist choking, making them great for driving rhythms.
