This ProLite Bass Drum from Sonor features a matte semi-gloss lacquered shell surface, which enhances the overall look of the instrument. You can now experiment with various genres given the wide tuning range offered by the 12-ply cross-laminated maple shell. This wood variety is known for providing open, warm sounds with an ideal balance between mids and highs. Playing attack-heavy musical styles on this drum does not affect its tuning stability, given the TuneSafe lugs that prevent loosening of the tension rods.
