Frequently Asked Questions

The AQ2 shell uses a thinner ply construction than their Proline or Signature drums, resulting in a slightly less complex tone but still offering a good balance of warmth and attack.
The standard legs are adequate for most players, but serious hitters might find them a little flexy and consider aftermarket options for increased stability.
It’s a transparent stain, meaning you can see the wood grain, but there's a subtle protective lacquer layer that gives it a polished look – it's not a bare wood finish.
