Frequently Asked Questions

The Dark alloy uses a higher tin content, resulting in a darker, more complex sound with fewer overtones compared to the brighter, more shimmering A series.
While playable, its short sustain and dark character aren’t ideal for genres that demand a long, cutting crash; it'll be more subtle than powerful.
The Regular finish provides a good balance between brightness and darkness, allowing the unique tonal qualities of the K-Custom Dark alloy to be prominent without being overly subdued.
