ITEM DESCRIPTION NEO VINTAGE M4 is based upon the technology and specifications of some outstanding drum designs from the 1970s. Its unique design features 12 tension rods on top and 6 on the bottom. A 5 ply maple and thicker poplar shell construction, and Canopus' precision bearing edge shaping, combine to create a characteristically "mellow and dry" vintage sound. With these specifications - providing a blend of tight attack and a comfortable, loose reverberation, it is a totally unique instrument. Certainly, this conspicuous sound will be highly prized and sought-after by a great many drummers.Shell: 5ply Maple/PoplarFinish: Superior Maple LacquerTop 12 Tension Round Edge HoopBottom 6 Tension Round Edge HoopNon Plated Vintage Snare WireJapanese Sword Separate LugVIDEO DEMO VIDEO DEMO MY TAKE ON IT/RECOMMENDATIONS I love this!
