Frequently Asked Questions

The Renown series utilizes thicker, more exotic woods and more refined construction, resulting in a brighter, more powerful sound. The Catalina Club offers a more vintage, warmer tone at a more accessible price point.
They’re 1.6mm triple-flanged hoops, which are a step up from basic and contribute to a more focused and controlled drumhead vibration.
The gloss lacquer looks fantastic, but it does require a bit of care; it's not as forgiving as a satin finish and is prone to stick marks. Regular wiping with a microfiber cloth will keep it looking sharp.
