Frequently Asked Questions

The PSTX DJs are significantly drier and more controlled than the Dark Energy series, which are known for their brighter, more complex wash.
They’re excellent for recording, especially for genres needing tight, articulate hi-hats; however, adding some reverb can help create a more expansive feel if needed.
While versatile, they excel in drier styles; players wanting a full, shimmering sound may find them too restricted, but they are great as a second hi-hat pair.
