Frequently Asked Questions

The walnut adds a touch of warmth and complexity, rounding out the maple's brightness and creating a more mature, vintage-like tone.
The shells are fairly resonant, so you’ll likely want to experiment with muffling depending on your playing style and desired sound. They are designed to be responsive and versatile, not inherently damped.
The vents help reduce internal pressure, allowing for a more open and responsive sound, and can also contribute to easier and more accurate tuning across the kit.
