Frequently Asked Questions

These shells are designed to retain a good amount of natural resonance; the included suspension system helps control unwanted overtones, but a dry, heavily damped sound isn't the intended result.
No, these Renown Maple Jazz drums utilize Gretsch’s 302 steel hoops, which offer a different tonal response, typically brighter and more focused than the Broadneck.
