This one-of-a-kind kit is the result of Josh just wanting to build something different. This kit uses our Studio Mod Cherry/Poplar shells, but instead of the typical natural finish, we stained them a bright cherry red, and then faded to black. And yes, the interiors match the exteriors! This is a seriously stunning kit, and sounds incredible too!
Let’s be real - the INDe Flex-Tuned Maple drums we have been making for years are the perfect versatile drums for nearly anything. But, sometimes you just want a little more focus. So, we set out to create the ultimate modern studio drum set. After exhaustive experimentation, we finally designed the perfect shell. We landed on a 6.5mm thick shell built on a 6 ply Poplar core that is sandwiched in either Cherry or Walnut. Poplar is perfect for this focused application. It is 1/3 lower density than maple but with a similar modulus of elasticity (a measure of “springiness”). This lets us build the shell thicker than our maple shells, but just as light. The choice of Walnut or Cherry slightly flavors the tone - Walnut is a bit darker, Cherry is a bit brighter. Whichever flavor you choose, Studio Mod drums are focused, responsive and give you the perfect recording tone, no muffling required!
