Frequently Asked Questions

Bubinga offers a warmer, more complex tone than Maple or Birch, with more pronounced low-mids and a slightly drier overall character.
The included Remo heads are decent stock heads, but upgrading to higher-end heads will unlock the full sonic potential of the shells.
The PBA finish is beautiful but can be prone to minor scratches; regular polishing with a quality drum care product is recommended to maintain its luster.
