The shell is the single most significant component of a drum, and not the place to pinch pennies. A wrap finish may look fancy, but it acts rather like a tourniquet on a drum shell. It is the inherent resonance of maple that makes it such a superior wood for drum construction. Although a wrap can hide many flaws on the surface of a shell, it will inhibit the drum's resonant qualities. And so, like our all of our wood drums, the Studio Classics are available in lacquer finishes only.
Available finishes are clear, piano black, and cherry.
These 8 ply maple snares are built to the same standards as any of our other snare drums. The bearing edge is hand cut, and tested on our granite flat. The Studio Classics come complete with a full array of solid, double-braced hardware. All drums are suspended for ultimate tone and resonance. The package includes three double tom stands, six ball and socket type tom arms, three cymbal boom arms, snare stand, chain driven bass pedal, hi-hat and all suspension rims.
