Shell Construction:

• Crafted from 6-ply North American birch, giving a bright attack paired with tight, punchy low end.

• 30° bearing edges (R1.5) allow quick response and a wide tuning range—versatile across musical styles.

• Lifted bass drum shell reduces floor contact, offering more depth and resonance.

Hardware & Design Features:

• Weighted one-piece high-tension lugs enhance tonal clarity and low-frequency response by minimizing shell dampening.
