The Sonor Essential Force Tom-Tom offers a dreamy sound response when you strike its head. Its shell is crafted from quality birch wood, which offers a warm sound with rounded edges. Moreover, the Cross-laminated Tension Free (CLTF) process employed in the construction of the shell improves the overall resonance and sustain. The Total Acoustic Resonance (TAR) mounting system offers excellent projection. In addition, TuneSafe lugs maintain the head tension by preventing loosening of the tension rods even after repeated usage. This tom-tom features chrome hardware parts that keep corrosion at bay.
