Frequently Asked Questions
The 900 series is a step below the Signature and Masters lines in terms of alloy complexity and sonic refinement, but offers excellent value for the money.
The color is purely cosmetic; it’s achieved through a protective lacquer applied after the cymbal is formed. It doesn't alter the cymbal's sound.
While 'heavy' is relative, beginners might find the weight slightly more demanding, but it’s manageable and builds strength. Consider a medium crash if you're very concerned.
