Frequently Asked Questions

The Agathis adds a warmer, more controlled low-end response, reducing some of the higher-frequency overtones found in pure maple drums.
The bass drum has natural hoops, indicating minimal pre-dampening, so you'll likely want to experiment with muffling to tailor the sound to your preference.
Silver Sparkle, while beautiful, is a bit softer than some finishes and requires careful handling to avoid scratches and scuffs during transport and use.
