Frequently Asked Questions

Poplar delivers a rounder, warmer tone than maple or birch, lacking some of the high-end sizzle, but it’s still a very respectable sound.
It's serviceable for beginners or casual playing, but serious hitters will likely want to upgrade to a smoother, more responsive pedal.
The BMS finish is surprisingly resilient; it’s designed to withstand the rigors of regular gigging and resists scratches better than some other finishes.
