Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Developed around the Bronze CuSn8 alloy, also called 2002 Bronze, the Series 900 follows a tradition of alloys designed to withstand sustained playing while maintaining consistent musicality. Its positioning is modern and versatile, featuring a sophisticated manufacturing approach that combines industrial processes with artisanal finishing. The result aims to set a new standard in "advanced cymbal sound" while remaining accessible for a reasonable investment, notably through a core range focused on medium to heavy weight Crashes and Rides.
Who This Drum/Cymbal Is For
This cymbal is intended for drummers of all levels seeking an expressive sound with grit and true presence, without limiting themselves to a single context. It suits both moderate volume playing and more powerful setups, and naturally fits into all music styles thanks to its warm and full spectrum, accented by a subdued brightness. It is also comfortable in live settings and during occasional studio recordings, where its dark and energetic character helps to "fill" the mix without excessive harshness.
