Frequently Asked Questions
The Yess system allows the shell to vibrate more freely, resulting in a more resonant and full tone compared to traditional, more restrictive mounting systems.
While the matte finish looks great, it *can* show minor scuffs easier than gloss finishes. Careful handling and a good gig bag will help protect it.
It's versatile enough for both, but its focused birch tone really shines when tuned to medium or higher frequencies, adding clarity and presence to your overall drum sound.
