Frequently Asked Questions
The Classics Custom Extreme is brighter and more direct than the Byzance, which offers a more complex, nuanced tone. Think of it as a more 'classic' cymbal sound versus a modern, sophisticated one.
Like all bronze cymbals, they can crack if mishandled, but the B12 alloy is relatively durable. Proper care and avoiding excessive hammering will extend their lifespan significantly.
The brilliant finish will tarnish over time, which is natural for bronze. Regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner will keep them looking bright, but some patina is inevitable and even desirable.
