6.5x14 Maple Burst

I took a gamble and bought a "factory second" I really wanted one of these drums but was hesitant on the price. I got my factory second and wished I would've just spent the money long ago. This drum is absolutely amazing. I love playing drums but basically just do it as a hobby. I replace my snare head the most and this just makes it simple to do every time! So if you're kicking around if its worth it for the price....bust out the cash and just get it! The factory second is a great option as well! One thing I hope to see in the future is better support from hardware companies for a stand. Or even something dialtune comes out with would be cool too! It fits fine on the snare stand I have I just cant get it as low as I want with it sitting on the edge of the rim.

I've owned this drum for several months now. The first thing you'll notice is the build quality. This drum is solid, built like a tank, superbly engineered and beautiful. It sounds amazing, with a wide tuning range which is so customizable with the 2 large tuning knows. This drum is extremely heavy, which is fine. I finally changed out the stock batter head which is super easy. The one issue is that Aquarian heads are not compatible because of their hoops not fitting. Remo heads work just fine. You'll have to check out others to make sure. From practice to recording to live performance this drum does it all with distinction. The fact that you can change tuning or heads very quickly on the fly gives this drum a major advantage. This drum deserves a spot in any working drummers collection because it delivers the goods for any musical style. Dialtune is an amazing and innovative product that holds a prestigious spot in my collection.
