Frequently Asked Questions

The 900 series is darker and more robust, while the 2000 series offers a brighter, more complex sound. Think of 900 as the reliable, powerful option, and 2000 as the more refined and versatile one.
The dark finish is achieved through a process that subtly dampens the cymbal, contributing to a slightly shorter sustain and a warmer tonal character.
While it's a 'heavy' crash, careful control and miking techniques can tame it; however, it's best suited for mid-sized venues and louder playing situations.
