Frequently Asked Questions

The AAX offers a more shimmering, complex wash; the Zultan is more direct and aggressive, with less sustain.
Being handmade, the hammer patterns will vary slightly from cymbal to cymbal, adding to their individual character.
While versatile, the aggressive nature of the F5 series makes it less ideal for very quiet or subtle jazz applications; a lighter, more mellow splash would be a better choice.
