Frequently Asked Questions

Copper inherently has less damping than hardwoods, leading to more overtones and a more resonant, projecting sound – ideal for cutting through an orchestra.
Schagerl’s modifications likely involve adjustments to the internal mechanics for enhanced smoothness and quieter operation, crucial for sensitive orchestral playing.
While beautiful, the 0.8mm copper shell requires more care than thicker drums; it's best suited for controlled environments and careful handling rather than heavy-duty touring.
