Frequently Asked Questions
Phosphor bronze offers a brighter, more complex tone than maple, and a different character than brass - it's less aggressive than brass but retains a shimmering quality.
While all drums are susceptible to cracking, proper care and humidity control will minimize the risk; phosphor bronze is generally quite durable when treated well.
You'll experience a responsive and articulate feel, allowing for a wide range of dynamics and subtle ghost notes – it really highlights stickwork.
