Copper shells have controlled overtones and " mild," almost maple-like tonality, yet still offer the aggressiveness of metal. Combine this with our Free Floating System and you've got a drum suitable for any musical setting!
The "Free Floating" concept of removing all hardware from the shell is an extremely effective way of increasing the amount of coloration of the shell material and to maximize its contribution to the overall sound of the drum. All of the drum's hardware is attached to the aircraft quality aluminum alloy "edge ring", including the throw-off, allowing the shell to resonate completely unrestricted.
Our "edge ring" is machined to provide perfect seating with the shell and is precision cut to offer the most stable, sensitive, responsive snare bed imaginable.
The Snare Throw-Off (SR-010) provides super smooth action and both the Snare and Butt units feature our "No Adjust Roller Bed" for precise alignment that is factory preset for optimum response.
Available in a total of three shell depths, 3 1/2", 5" or 6 1/2" giving you a full choice of tonal range.
And remember all "Free-Floaters" allow you the option to swap shells as easily as changing a batter head. Just like 1,2,3 you can change your drum to Brass, Steel, and 6 ply 100% aged premium Maple.
Copper! You've got to hear it!
