Features:
EFS Shell Technology™:Engineered For Sound. Among other innovations, Taye EFS™
utilizes cross-lamination in the shell formation process. Cross-lamination is
the method of perpendicularly alternating the direction of the wood grain
within the plies, providing drums with extremely rigid shells, resulting in breathtakingly
broad tuning ranges.
PocketHinge™: Another Taye innovation. With no internal pressure points,
PocketHinge™ effectively distributes force across a wide area of the rod to
which it mounts, delivering dependable, slip-free performance.
Studded
Gaskets:Patented studded lug gaskets remove any metal-to-wood
contact allowing the drum to resonate more freely, delivering optimum sonic
performance in all environments.
Articulated
Claw Hook:Virtually eliminates the need to disassemble claw hooks and
tension rods from bass drums when changing heads. The Articulated Claw Hook is
designed to isolate the claw from the wood hoop, preventing unwanted tonal
interference in live or studio applications.
SideLatch™:Simply designed for optimum performance, this side-action
release system employs a minimum of moving parts. With a large knurled tension
knob for easy snare adjustment, and our unique SlipLock feature that prevents
unwanted loosening of snare tension, SideLatch™ is strong, smooth, and
flawlessly reliable.
Suspension
Rings™: An industry standard, SuspensionRings™ allow mounted toms to
float freely, providing optimum tone and resonance.
Springflex
Spurs: Taye's unique SP90 bass drum spurs not only improve bass
drum resonance, the sleek design enables the player to easily position stands
in and around the bass drum. Retractable spikes eliminate bass drum movement.
