Key features
Hybrid maple shell: The core ply of wenge wood, a hard and heavy African wood, is sandwiched between plies of maple, known for its clear tone. This design creates a drum with a rich and clear tone that responds well across the full dynamic range.
Expressive range: The drum is designed to be highly expressive, allowing drummers to achieve different tones depending on how it’s played.
Hook lugs: These offer quick and easy head replacement and precision tuning, even at high tension.
Aluminum die-cast hoops: These provide a strong, tight sound with a defined attack and quick decay.
