Sound Reinforcement
The 2 ply Maple reinforcement rings provide solid shell stability and shape integrity. This in turn promotes optimal head seating and consistent tuning, so crank-em down and tune-em up. The FFX will take it. 16 Strand Synthetic Gut Snares offer a tremendous advantage over the competition by offering a larger contact area with the bottom head. This in turn provides increased sensitivity at lower playing levels and dramatic power as volume increases. The individual strands are also removable, offering the widest tuning range of any drum on the market

Snare Control
The FFX offers unparalleled tuning control by allowing the fine tuning of each individual synthetic gut snare.The oversized adjustment knob allows complete control over the vertical placement of the entire snare unit in the snare bed. Solid steel guards offer protection when sitting.
