The shell is described as articulate and able to project across a variety of venues, with a crisp, tight voice. It uses 10 single-row DW lugs, True Pitch tuning, a DW MAG throw-off, and triple-flanged chrome hoops. The source specifically positions its attack and punch for heavier rock and metal playing.
