Frequently Asked Questions
B8 is a more budget-friendly alloy, lacking the complexity and warmth of A2000. You'll get a brighter, more direct sound with the I Family, but less of that shimmering overtone complexity.
While versatile, the medium-thin weight might get lost in very heavy, distorted mixes; a heavier crash would project better.
The traditional finish is brushed, offering a more controlled, less aggressive sound, while the brilliant finish is shiny and emphasizes the bright tones.
