Explosive tonal clarity and articulation for recording.
Delivering (arguably) the greatest drum sounds ever recorded, Masters Maple/Gum features an EvenPly-Six blend of premium North American Maple and figured, sweet Gum wood.
Combined with a shallow outer 60° bearing edge, this thin and dense shell produces a punchy, primed recording tone.
