Accentuating the Pure Nature of Each Drum
Reference One 8" and 10" drum shells combine Maple and Birch for more attack and higher pitch. The 12" tom (the "Middle-C" in the Reference One tom scale), is composed of 6 plies of Maple for added body. 13" tom and larger Reference One toms feature added Mahogany interior plies to increase lower pitch and accentuate Maple's tonal warmth. Bass drums feature a thicker fusion of Mahogany and Maple for the ultimate in bass frequency response; proving that with Reference One, it’s not about compromise. It’s about every drum in your kit performing at its optimal capacity.
Task-Specific Edges
The 45° bearing edge on Reference One 8" to 13" toms receive a rounded apex to increase head contact, and add a degree of tonal control. Drums 14" and larger combine a fully rounded bearing edge and even 8-ply shell, for increased shell/head contact and low-end sonic emphasis.
R2 Air Tom Suspension System
A giant leap in drum resonance physics, the R2 Air Tom Suspension System improves overall tone by delivering true, uncolored sound from each rack tom, creating a transitional bridge to floor toms.
Note: This is a 4 piece shell kit only. Snare, cymbals, hardware and tom holders are not included.
