Frequently Asked Questions

The 900 series is a more affordable option; the Signature series utilizes a more complex alloy and hand-hammering process for a more refined sound and higher price point.
Like all cymbals, it’s susceptible to cracking with improper handling or extreme playing volume, but the B8 alloy offers good durability.
The 900 series is designed to be universally applicable, but it's always best to consider the overall tonal balance of your kit; pairing it with brighter cymbals can create a nice contrast.
