The Export FT 18" floor tom delivers a surprisingly good punch for its price point. The Jet Black finish looks slick, and the poplar shell provides a warm, full tone that sits well in a kit. It's a solid choice for beginner to intermediate drummers or anyone wanting a reliable, affordable floor tom to round out their setup.
