Overview
Like the name implies, Blaster packs a punch. The precise combination of shell design, shell materials, hoops and heads give the Blaster an extremely focused sound that can cut through a wall of sound. We started with a thin traditional 5.1mm American maple shell, added a 3.4mm walnut sound shaping ring to create a beautifully dark undertone. A 5:5 bearing edge with a rounded back cut process produces a quick and loud response with a fast decay.
Note that the toms on the early models (pre-2012) were fitted with Meridian style mounts, whereas the later ones were fitted with Saturn IV mounts. This seems to go along with the 2012 badge change but there might be some overlap. Shout out to Zack Cruz for spotting this.
