Frequently Asked Questions

The newer versions have a more refined, controlled sound – the birch is more consistently seasoned, and the Y.E.S.S. system makes a noticeable difference in sustain and resonance.
They're relatively undamped, allowing for a natural resonance. You'll likely want to experiment with muffling depending on your playing style and desired sound.
It's certainly capable of recording decent sounds, but for a truly professional studio sound, you'd likely want to consider shells with thicker ply counts and more refined bearing edges.
