Acoustic Sound Profile: Rich, woody mid-range with a naturally soft top-end and exceptional microphone warmth. Delivers a classic, smooth studio voice.
Dark, Responsive and Vintage Attack
This 14" x 5" shell produces a beautifully dark, organic sound characterised by an immediate stick response and an incredibly warm mid-range presence. American Black Walnut is highly prized by recording engineers for its natural ability to attenuate harsh high frequencies, resulting in a smooth, vintage-flavoured acoustic profile. The classic 5" depth gives the drum a snappy, fast-speaking character with a crisp snare response. This makes it an incredibly versatile workhorse in the studio or live venues, delivering a fat, rich "thud" at lower tunings and a warm, singing pop when cranked high, all without any abrasive overtones.
Precision 30-Stave Design
The 30-stave shell architecture ensures the straight, elegant grain of this premium tonewood runs entirely vertically. By utilising solid, vertical staves rather than traditional horizontal plies, the shell eliminates cross-grain tension and heavy glue layers, allowing the soft, resonant nature of the Walnut to vibrate with absolute freedom. The result is a hyper-sensitive, expressive snare drum. The vertical stave alignment ensures that light ghost notes register with pristine, woody clarity, while providing the structural strength needed to deliver a solid, focused backbeat.
