A 7-ply, 6.85mm shell constructed from 6-ply North American Maple and 1-ply Maple Burl captures the warmth of Ralph’s drumming, whilst providing exceptional versatility from the even level of high and mid frequencies. The 8” depth was chosen to produce a deep, full sound – capable of dominating any mix.
