Frequently Asked Questions

Oak has a drier, more focused tone than maple, with less sustain and more mid-range presence, creating a more defined attack.
The shells are undamped, allowing for maximum resonance and flexibility, so you'll want to experiment with muffling to tailor the sound to your preferences.
The ATLAS mounting system is designed for compatibility with standard sizes, but some aftermarket hardware might require slight adjustments or adapters.
