Frequently Asked Questions

The A Series are higher-end, offering more complexity and sustain; the I Family provides a brighter, more immediate response at a more affordable price point.
While it'll work, it's not ideal; its lighter weight and bright tone might get lost in a very aggressive, loud mix – consider a heavier crash for those styles.
Not particularly; Zildjian’s B8 bronze is durable, but handle it with care as it's thinner than a traditional full-size crash.
