Frequently Asked Questions

The Classics Custom is brighter and more direct than the Byzance series, which offers a more complex and nuanced tone.
While durable, the medium weight and brighter tone are better suited for rock, pop, and funk; heavier styles might benefit from a heavier cymbal selection.
With proper care and regular use, you can expect a good 5-8 years of reliable performance before significant wear becomes noticeable.
