AFAIK, the Armand series was an attempt to recreate the sound of 60s A. Zildjians. Medyo "warm" daw (whatever that means), pero hindi trashy/swishy tulad ng K's. Bagay sa karamihan ng genre, pwera lang sa Metal kasi hindi pasigaw ang projection niya. Cymbal sets are rarely good, but I've heard that the Armand set is an exception.
