Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminum offers a more immediate, higher-pitched response than steel, with less sustain. It’s also noticeably lighter and has a different feel under the sticks.
Yes, aluminum is softer than steel, so they are more susceptible to dents. Handle with care and avoid excessive force during transport and setup.
Generally, a thinner, single-ply head will maximize the aluminum shell’s natural articulation. Experiment with coated heads for a touch more warmth and control.
