Frequently Asked Questions

The Zultan has a more raw, aggressive tone with more pronounced bell, while the AAX Xplorer is generally smoother and more refined.
Because they are 100% handmade, the hammer marks will vary slightly from cymbal to cymbal, ensuring each one is unique.
While versatile, its aggressive nature makes it less ideal for very quiet, nuanced jazz or Latin playing; it shines in louder contexts.
