Frequently Asked Questions

Beech offers a warmer, more focused sound with less high-end sizzle than Maple, lending itself to a more vintage aesthetic.
Absolutely, the included Power heads are a good starting point, but you could easily swap them for Remo Ambassador or Evans G1 heads for a different attack and sustain.
Vintage shells are typically thinner and have a more rounded bearing edge, leading to a more open and resonant tone with a longer sustain compared to modern, thicker shells.
