Frequently Asked Questions

The Promo set uses similar bronze but has a slightly less complex hammering pattern, resulting in a more direct, less nuanced sound than flagship AAX models.
While they’ll handle moderate playing, the thinner crashes might not hold up to extremely aggressive playing, and a heavier ride would be preferable for heavier styles.
The thin crashes contribute to a relatively loud overall volume, so consider that if you're playing in a quieter environment.
