All-Birch Shell
In addition to their punchy power, birch shells are known to reduce unwanted noise and prevent interference when drums are set up side-by-side. The unique, sonic characteristics of birch wood ensure that each stroke is clearly delineated, making it the ideal choice for recording environments.
New Weighted High-Tension Lugs
The revamped modern design retains the traditional essence of the Recording Custom. However, in order to maximize the attenuating properties of the birch wood, we increased the weight of the lug, further enhancing the artist's expressive power and reducing undesirable noise from the shell without using a mute. This ensures optimum sustain for the core sound, producing a crisp, articulate tone.
Lifted-Style Bass Drum
We reduced interference from the floor to maximize the resonance of the shell, and we increased the length of the pedal beater rod, centering it precisely to ensure absolute accuracy during performances.
This lifted bass drum produces a more punchy sound and accentuates the sound produced in the core of the shell.
R1.5/3-Degree Bearing Edge
While testing many combinations of shells, Steve Gadd opted for 30-degree bearing edges to deliver a sharp response. The shells have a wide tuning range. They respond well to different head choices and are easy to tune.
Y.E.S.S. Mount
Y.E.S.S. mounts are designed to minimize contact between the shell and the mount to deliver a wider, dynamic range and longer sustain. The Y.E.S.S. mount does not interfere with drum placement or head changes.
Floor Tom Brackets
The open-type floor tom bracket includes wing bolts and is designed to clamp tightly on the leg without damaging it. This saves time on stage and delivers optimum decay control.
Die-Cast BD Hooks
Bass drums are fitted with T-handles and die-cast hooks providing quick tuning adjustments and noise-free function through the use of an insertion plate.
