Frequently Asked Questions

Poplar offers a warmer, more mellow tone with less sustain than maple, focusing more on fundamental frequencies and less on overtones.
While the finish looks striking, it's a lacquer sparkle, which means it's susceptible to chipping with rough handling; careful transport and setup are recommended.
While it's a 'micro' set, you can certainly expand it by adding additional toms and a snare; however, the bass drum size limits overall kit size.
