Frequently Asked Questions
The multiple wires allow for significantly different resonant frequencies, offering a broader spectrum of tones from crisp and dry to full and ringing – far beyond a standard strainer.
The maple shell is naturally quite responsive, so it typically benefits from minimal damping; it’s best experienced as-is, although some players might add a small amount of Moongel.
The 10-lug configuration results in a slightly more focused and controlled tone with a quicker response, sacrificing some of the extended sustain and low-end rumble found in 12-lug snares.
