The 45° bearing edge is designed for quick response, tonal depth, and a wide dynamic range alongside the shell’s warm, open sound. Its 2.3 mm inverse DynaHoop controls natural maple overtones and focuses the fundamental tone. Absolute lugs mount at a single point, and the compact lightweight strainer supplies dual tension adjustment for careful snare fine-tuning.
