Frequently Asked Questions

The A series offers a more refined, brighter sound with better projection than the S series, but the S series is typically more affordable.
The brushed finish dampens some high frequencies, contributing to a slightly warmer, more controlled wash than a fully lathed cymbal.
While it's versatile, the A-Series’ projection can be a bit much for very small kits or ultra-quiet gigs; consider a lighter weight or thinner crash in those scenarios.
