Frequently Asked Questions

The Dark Matter lacquer dampens the cymbal slightly, leading to a more controlled and responsive feel, especially at lower volumes.
B20 bronze is generally robust, but it's slightly softer than brass, meaning it can develop a patina faster and may require more careful handling to avoid cracking.
The B20 bronze alloy gives it a more complex and nuanced tone than many entry-level cymbals, avoiding that generic, tinny sound.
