SFZ specifications
All other specs are based on the Sforzando series marching snare drum; 6-ply birch shell provides bright attack with body and ensures strength snare-side tension, Air-Seal System way of manufacturing ensures the shell starts round and stays round; an in-round shell tunes clearer and provides a pure fundamental tone, extra thick (thickest you can find) suspension ring stays round even under the torque of Kevlar heads (it eliminates stress on the shell and is tall enough for use with a plastic drum head), and rims are made from die-cast, high-strength aluminum in a solid design. They stay round even with the high torque of Kevlar heads and provide even tuning, yet they are lightweight and durable.
