Frequently Asked Questions
The 900 series is brighter and more explosive than the Twenty series, which tends to be darker and more controlled.
The finish is relatively durable, but it will darken naturally with use and requires occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance.
While versatile, its bright and explosive nature makes it less ideal for very quiet or acoustic settings; a darker cymbal would be better suited.
