Frequently Asked Questions
The 900 series sits in the middle – better quality than RSX, but less complex and expensive than Signature. It's a good balance of price and performance.
It's both aesthetic and sonic; it slightly dampens the cymbal, contributing to the warm tone and reducing excessive overtones.
While versatile, its controlled nature makes it better suited for rock and pop than extreme metal where a more explosive, trashy sound is desired.
