Frequently Asked Questions
Reflectors offer a darker, more complex tone than the brighter Signature or Twenty lines, trading some initial 'ping' for a richer, more sustained wash.
While excellent for rock and jazz, the darker tone might require adjustments for extremely bright or aggressive genres like modern metal, where a more cutting crash is preferred.
’Heavy Full’ signifies a thicker profile than just ‘Heavy’, resulting in a lower pitch, more robust response, and a more controlled overall sound.
