Frequently Asked Questions

The Dark Matter finish is significantly more damped than Zultan’s Brilliant or Natural finishes, resulting in a much lower overall volume and reduced sustain.
While versatile, the darker sound and thinner weight might not provide the aggressive sizzle and power needed for very heavy styles; consider a brighter Zultan model instead.
B20 bronze generally offers a warmer, more complex tone with more overtones, while B8 bronze tends to be brighter and more responsive with a quicker stick attack.
