Frequently Asked Questions

The Dark Matter line is noticeably warmer and darker than Zultan's Brilliant series, offering a more muted and controlled sound.
While versatile, its darker tone might be less impactful for very aggressive metal; it shines in genres where subtlety and warmth are valued.
The hammering process can slightly increase the risk of small cracks over time with heavy use, but proper care should minimize this.
