Frequently Asked Questions
The A Series are premium-priced, offering a more refined and complex sound with greater projection. The Mastersound offers a similar brightness at a more accessible price point, though with slightly less nuance.
Absolutely. The unlathed surfaces create a more textured and warmer sizzle than a fully lathed cymbal, softening the brilliance and adding a touch of complexity.
While versatile, the bright and open sound is best suited for louder genres. Jazz drummers might find them a little too aggressive unless heavily dampened or played with a very light touch.
