This series uses various shell thickness on each individual drum in a kit. A larger diameter and thinner ply shell will emphasize a drums lower end spectrum of sound. More response with less effort, with brighter highs and deeper lows especially on the toms. Some artists might seek a full 10 ply drumkit or a kit with 5 ply toms with a 10 ply snare and an 8 ply bass drum.
Any combination is possible.
We offer 5,6,8 or 10 ply maple shells. Pure rich tone, outstanding sustain and superior projection make the Master Series drums an exceptional choice for both the studio and live applications. RIMS mounts, low mass hardware and ultra-thin drum shells clearly makes this series the most resonant drumkit available to drummers today. If you prefer a drumkit with superb sustain and sensitivity at the same time, the Master Series should be your series of choice. This series is either the Performer or Masters series with all of the components on the drum isolated from each other.
