Frequently Asked Questions

The Zultan Heritage offers a slightly quicker response and a more nuanced shimmer than the Sabian Classics, but the Sabians have a longer, more sustained decay.
Yes, the Heritage finish is more susceptible to tarnishing than a fully lathed cymbal. Regular cleaning with a dedicated cymbal cleaner and occasional polishing will help preserve its appearance.
