Frequently Asked Questions
The ColorSound lathing creates a more complex, shimmering wash of overtones, making it feel more responsive and 'alive' than a traditionally lathed cymbal.
The color is entirely cosmetic; it's applied as a surface treatment and doesn't affect the cymbal's tonal characteristics or performance.
The 900 series offers a great balance of quality and affordability; while not as refined as the Signature or Reference lines, it provides a robust and versatile sound for a wide range of musical applications.
