Frequently Asked Questions
Beech offers a warmer, more controlled tone than maple or birch, with a slightly drier character and more fundamental resonance.
The Red Oyster finish is relatively durable, but it’s a lacquer so it's best to avoid excessive handling and protect it from harsh chemicals to prevent damage.
These have a meticulously rounded bearing edge, which contributes significantly to the drum’s warm, responsive tone and allows for a wide tuning range.
