Absolute demon of a 14"x7" courtesy of the geniuses that are Gareth and Simon.

A bit thin that shell;-)

I bet that's a bit loud.

Ha ha just under an inch thick, and yes, its damn loud.

In terms of volume its punching in the same class as my DW aluminium which is 14x6.5, a pretty tall order for a birch snare!

I REALLY want a thicker shelled drum. Those hoops are the business, too! How do they handle rimshots?

Smashing stuff, ciaran!

Thicker shells tend to project a lot more, there was a useful site about shell types and the different characteristics will see if I can find it.
