Frequently Asked Questions

Maple provides a warmer, more rounded tone than birch, which tends to be brighter and more cutting. The maple offers more natural sustain and a slightly 'woody' character.
The Ambassador heads are solid for general playing, but a higher-end snare head would significantly enhance the snare's responsiveness and tone.
Given the 6-ply maple construction, this kit is on the heavier side; moving it regularly will require some effort or assistance.
