Frequently Asked Questions

The walnut adds a touch of warmth and complexity, resulting in a slightly darker, more controlled tone than a purely maple kit, with increased sustain.
They genuinely do a fantastic job; the floating design minimizes dampening and allows the shells to vibrate more freely, noticeably enhancing the overall tone and sustain.
While not featherlight, the construction is solid, but it's definitely on the heavier side, best suited for players with access to a loading dock or who primarily play in a fixed location.
