Maple needs no introduction
Whether we’re talking about violins, guitars, basses, or drums, maple is considered a premier tonewood for each of these instruments (and more). Its dynamic response is immense, enabling you to perform with the quietest subtlety or the most vigorous energy on demand. Adding 30-degree bearing edges to these 7-ply maple shells gently softens their initial attack, which results in a dense, full drum sound that feels right at home in any musical style.
