Frequently Asked Questions
Birch offers a more balanced tone—less aggressive than maple, and with more focused low-end than mahogany, making it versatile for various genres.
The legs are well-constructed for typical playing, but aggressive drummers might find them slightly less robust than higher-end options.
The high-gloss lacquer finish is durable and vibrant, but it does show fingerprints easily; regular wiping with a soft cloth is recommended.
