Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-gloss lacquer is durable, but avoid excessive moisture and be mindful of impacts to prevent chipping.
Absolutely, it’s a great recording drum! A large diaphragm condenser mic placed centrally will capture its warmth, or try a dynamic mic for a more punchy sound.
The T.A.R. system allows for significantly more natural resonance as it minimizes contact points and doesn’t dampen the shell’s vibrations like traditional hardware might.
