Frequently Asked Questions

The Decade Maple is warmer and more focused, lacking the extreme projection and clarity of the Reference Series, which uses thinner shells.
These are common, versatile tom sizes that work well across various musical genres and provide a balanced sound.
The included hardware is functional for most players, but heavier hitters might find it beneficial to upgrade to a more robust hardware package over time.
