Frequently Asked Questions
The PSTX DJs 45 is brighter and more direct, lacking the complex, darker overtones of the Signature Dark series. It's a more budget-friendly option with a different sonic profile.
While it’s durable, this cymbal is better suited for lighter to medium playing styles; heavy hitting will quickly fatigue its sound and potentially damage the finish.
The brushed finish will oxidize over time, so regular cleaning with a cymbal cleaner and occasional polishing will help maintain its appearance and sound.
