Frequently Asked Questions
The Masters series sits between the Traditional’s brighter, more cutting sound and the Signature’s darker, more complex character, offering a balanced, versatile tone.
The brushed finish dampens the high frequencies, contributing to the warmer, darker tone and reducing harshness compared to a fully lathed cymbal.
Medium to heavy sticks will bring out the fundamental tone and sustain, while lighter sticks can highlight the shimmer and overtones – experiment to find your preference.
