Frequently Asked Questions
The Color series uses a slightly different manufacturing process, resulting in a darker, more complex sound and a unique finish, while retaining the core 900 characteristics.
The coating is reasonably durable, but it will wear over time with regular playing, especially around the bell and bow, which is part of its character.
While versatile, its heavier weight and powerful sound are better suited for louder genres; a lighter, more complex crash would likely be preferable for jazz.
