? Hybrid Shell Construction

• Features an 11-ply hybrid shell, approximately 10.3 mm thick.

• Constructed with:

  • Jatoba core for deep, powerful low-end response.

  • Kapur inner plies for rich, warm midrange tones.

  • Maple inner and outer plies to enhance clarity and add brightness to the overall tone.

• This hybrid construction creates a highly dynamic, full-bodied, and balanced sound — from punchy lows to clear, resonant highs.

✂️ Specialized Bearing Edge

• Uses a 30-degree bearing edge with an R1.5 profile, which is specifically designed for bass drums.

• Produces a focused attack, controlled sustain, and excellent projection — great for both live and studio settings.

? Resonance-Optimized Design

• This model is an “R” version, meaning undrilled — no tom mount holes on the shell.

• Allows maximum shell vibration and resonance, resulting in an open, natural, and pure bass drum sound.
