Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably louder and has a shorter, more controlled sustain compared to the older Z Customs, thanks to the slightly thinner profile.
While versatile, the pronounced attack might be a bit much for very subtle jazz or funk styles; it's best suited for music needing a more impactful crash.
The brilliant finish is relatively delicate and will show fingerprints easily; regular polishing is needed to maintain its shine and prevent significant tarnishing.
