Frequently Asked Questions
The walnut addition adds warmth and low-mid presence that the all-birch models lack, resulting in a rounder, less brittle tone.
The high-gloss lacquer is quite durable but requires care; regular wiping with a soft cloth will keep it looking pristine and prevent stick marks.
LOR stands for 'Limited Ocean Ripple,' indicating a unique, visually striking finish, and doesn’t impact the drum’s sonic characteristics.
