Frequently Asked Questions
The Caz hammering focuses on creating a more traditional, darker sound than Zultan’s brighter lines, using a lighter touch and different hammer patterns.
While versatile, its lighter weight and quicker response make it better suited for quieter genres; heavier hitters might find it lacking in sustain and volume.
B20 bronze is known for its durability, meaning this crash should hold up well with regular use, resisting excessive cracking or warping.
