Frequently Asked Questions
Maple tends to be brighter and more resonant; this hybrid offers a warmer, more focused tone with slightly less sustain.
The gloss finish is susceptible to stick marks, so regular cleaning and careful handling are recommended to maintain its appearance.
The included Remo heads are serviceable, but upgrading to a higher-end snare head will unlock even more of the shell's potential.
