Frequently Asked Questions
The A Series offers a more complex, nuanced, and darker tone, while the I Family is brighter and more direct.
While versatile, its bright nature can be overpowering in very quiet settings; a darker crash might be preferable.
A nylon tip stick will help control the bright sound and prevent harshness, while a wood tip can add a touch more warmth.
