Shell Construction

The SQ1 Shell Pack is constructed from 100% birch, which is renowned for its exceptional acoustic properties. Birch wood is widely favored in the drum-making industry due to its unique tonal characteristics:

  • Warm, Focused Tone: Birch provides a bright, warm sound with pronounced low and mid-range frequencies, making it ideal for styles that require a strong presence and clarity in sound. It produces a focused attack, allowing each stroke to be heard distinctly, making it great for both live and studio environments.

  • Projection and Resonance: The dense nature of birch contributes to excellent projection, ensuring that the drums can be heard clearly even in larger venues. This material allows for a strong sustain and dynamic response, making it suitable for various playing styles, whether soft and subtle or loud and aggressive.

  • Durability: Birch is not only acoustically beneficial but also quite durable, offering longevity and resilience against the rigors of touring and frequent performances.

Drum Kits

Drum kits are the core of modern drumming, bringing together bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals, and hardware into a single playable instrument. A complete kit allows a drummer to cover rhythm, dynamics, and texture, forming the foundation of a band’s groove in styles ranging from rock and pop to jazz, metal, funk, and electronic-influenced music.

Drum kits come in many configurations and materials, including compact setups for small spaces, standard five-piece kits, and larger multi-tom arrangements. Shell materials such as maple, birch, mahogany, and hybrid constructions each influence tone, projection, and response. Acoustic kits are chosen for their natural feel and sound, while electronic and hybrid kits offer volume control, sound flexibility, and integration with modern music production.

Choosing a drum kit involves balancing sound, size, hardware quality, and playing style. Whether for practice, recording, or live performance, a well-matched drum kit provides consistent tuning, comfortable ergonomics, and a musical response that supports the drummer and the music they play.

Shell Pack

A shell pack supplies the main drums of a kit, usually including bass drum, toms, and floor tom, without cymbals or hardware. It defines the fundamental tone and character of the setup while giving drummers the freedom to choose their own heads, cymbals, and hardware. Shell packs are ideal for building a personalised kit or upgrading sound without replacing an entire setup.
