Frequently Asked Questions

The Rosewood finish tends to dampen higher frequencies slightly, resulting in a warmer, more controlled tone, particularly noticeable in the toms.
These shells are designed to resonate naturally; while you can certainly add muffling, most drummers find the natural tone quite pleasing without it.
The 30° edge allows for a greater contact area with the drumhead, promoting a more complex, resonant tone with enhanced overtones.
