Frequently Asked Questions

SmartMounts allow the drumheads to vibrate more freely, resulting in a more resonant and open sound with reduced dampening from the mounting hardware.
Yes, Piano Black finishes are known to show fingerprints, requiring occasional cleaning to maintain a pristine appearance. It's part of the aesthetic.
The HS2000 is a solid, dependable hardware set, but it lacks some of the refined features and premium materials found in Sonor’s Pro or Performance lines. It’s a great starting point, though.
