Frequently Asked Questions

Birch tends to be a bit drier and more focused than maple, which is often described as warmer and more resonant. This birch tom will have more attack and less sustain.
The SBF1615 legs are functional and reliable, but they're not designed for extreme abuse. Moderate to heavy hitters will be fine, but super aggressive players might want to consider aftermarket legs.
The matte finish looks great, but it *will* show fingerprints and light scuffs more readily than a gloss finish. Regular wiping with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance.
