Frequently Asked Questions

Birch delivers more attack and higher frequencies; poplar is warmer and more rounded, needing more force to project.
The Stage Master hardware is surprisingly good for the price, but for frequent gigging, consider upgrading the stands and pedal.
While more durable than a bare shell, the wrap finish can still chip; careful handling and a protective pad on the kick drum head are recommended.
