Description:
Combining some of the most desirable qualities of the commonly used tone woods, cherry accentuates projection while maintaining an abundantly warm and round timbre. Applying this material to an orchestral snare drum design featuring a hybrid bearing edge concept provides an instrument capable of delivering unique tonal warmth and dynamic sensitivity.
Features:
The smooth and silent OP-01 strainer is a simple and classic functional design featuring a laser-engraved knurled vertical fine tuner adjustment.
The integrated bridge sets the optimal angle allowing the snare cables to establish a true and consistent point of contact with the resonate side head. The result is extreme responsiveness at all dynamic levels and playing areas of the drum.
To achieve a classic and elegant look as well as maximum shell resonance, the Opus One series drums feature the chrome plated "I" lug
Each model features its own unique set of hybrid or single snare cables in order to maximize sensitivity.
The revolutionary “Rigid-Cast” claw hook design utilizes an oblong receiver hole enclosed in a diecast housing which prevents cracking, ensures proper tuning alignment, and allows flexible tolerance for both synthetic and natural heads.
Each model comes with specific head combinations and specific DrumdialTM; tuning suggestions through extensive testing and collaboration with world renowned artists.
Each model comes Frequency Modifier (FM) accessories intended to allow performers to quickly modify the snare drums tone. Extensively tested and tailored using the most suitable materials, shapes, and weights as to not muffle desirable frequencies or stifle the drums response, but rather allow the player to enhance and expand the pallet of sounds available.
