Frequently Asked Questions
The Yess system allows the shell to vibrate more freely, resulting in a more resonant and full sound with less unwanted sustain.
It's a high-gloss finish, offering protection, but still showcases the natural grain of the birch—it's not a raw, unfinished surface.
It's a bit more focused and articulate than some of the darker-sounding birch toms you might find, offering a balanced response suitable for a wide variety of musical styles.
