Historical background and positioning within the range
The 900 Series is based on an alloy that has become a reference among many drummers: CuSn8 Bronze, often associated with the name "2002 Bronze". This alloy is appreciated for its robustness and its ability to deliver a sound that is both generous and precise. With this series, the goal is clear: to offer a cymbal with an "advanced" character, a strong visual identity and modern playability, while remaining a reasonable investment. The core of the series particularly highlights medium- to heavy-weight Crashes and Rides, complemented by Hi-Hats, Splashes and Chinas to cover a wide range of applications.
Who this drum kit/instrument is for
The 900 Series is aimed at the intermediate to advanced drummer looking for a cymbal capable of handling a variety of contexts without having to change their setup from one stage to another. Its balanced response also suits musicians who are progressing and seeking better definition of nuances, particularly on accented hits and dynamic passages. It naturally fits styles such as rock, pop, funk, variété, blues, contemporary music and even denser contexts where the cymbal needs to remain present without becoming overpowering.
