Of course, I'm biased, & it's also subjective, but I'm so happy with the kit range, & I hope you agree they all sound distinctive.
2014 Origin series beech & ovangkol: Here, presented with different hoops, heads, & tuning. it was delightful to hear how this unique kit handled both bop & rock/pop tunings with ease. We could have gone much higher & lower, but there was no need. I hope you can really hear the purity of fundamental + extreme overtone control that defines the Origin design. Opens up to full tone at very low dynamic, plus it doesn't choke when you really lay into it. It has so much headroom!

In-Tense series walnut stave: 6mm shells with the ultra low mass In-Tense shell hardware really let this beast of a drum load a room in a way you've never experienced. It's almost too much, but that leaves the decision with the player. Unvented too, yet no choking at very high dynamic. Featured here in very low tuning, but fit G1 coated batter heads, crank it up, & you have a wonderful big band kit.

In-Tense series English ash segmented: This is our latest generation segmented construction. Gives all the openness of steam bent but with added punch & weight. Featured here in deep dimensions, but augmented specifically to deliver at these depths.

Anyhow, please listen through good gear, crank up the volume a bit, & relish in the real sound of these drums. All comments especially sought & welcome.
Enjoy,
Andy.
