Frequently Asked Questions
The walnut adds a darker, more controlled resonance compared to pure maple, which tends to be brighter and more ringing.
It's remarkably well-damped for a floating mount, minimizing unwanted resonance transfer to the drum rack, but not completely silent.
While Series 6 shells are thinner than some, they're well-constructed and durable; proper tuning and care will prevent any issues.
