Frequently Asked Questions
The black finish is a surface treatment; it’s applied to the bronze and doesn't significantly alter the fundamental sound, but it can slightly dampen high frequencies.
The 900 series sits between the more budget-friendly Accents and the higher-end Signature/Intense lines, offering a good balance of quality and affordability.
It’s a heavy crash, so yes, it can be loud. Careful mic placement and potentially some dampening techniques will be needed to control it in a smaller space.
