Frequently Asked Questions
The 900 Series uses B8 bronze, which is less complex than the alloys in Signature or R series, resulting in a brighter, more direct tone.
The dark finish does slightly dampen the cymbal's overall brightness and enhances the lower-mid frequencies, contributing to its warmer character.
While versatile, the 900's warmth might get lost in very aggressive, high-volume metal; a brighter cymbal might be more suitable.
