Frequently Asked Questions
The A-Custom alloy is brighter and more focused than the K Series, which leans towards a darker, more complex tone. It’s a matter of preference, but A-Custom offers a more immediate response.
While versatile, the 15-inch A-Custom crash isn't designed for extremely loud or aggressive playing. It’ll work in a pinch, but a larger, heavier crash would be more appropriate for those genres.
The brilliant finish is relatively delicate and will show fingerprints and handling marks. Regular polishing is recommended to maintain its shine, but it’s not inherently fragile.
