Taye Studio Maple 16" x 16" Floor Tom Piano Black

Description

I purchased this drum to expand my kit for a couple gigs but it was only used two gigs before the pandemic shut everything down. The current Evans G2 Coated was put on for the first gig so you can see how much use this drum has really had. When it wasn't being used it was stored in a Tuxedo bag in a climate controlled studio.
The 3 floor tom legs are included.
At the heart of StudioMaple are hand-selected 100% North American Sugar Maple shells featuring EFS™ Shell Technology providing warm, well-rounded tone, with a balanced mix of bottom end punch, lower mid-range warmth, and hi-end attack.
StudioMaple tom and bass drum shells are extra thin, 6" to 15" are 6ply 4.5mm, and 16" to 24" are 7ply 5.3mm - accentuating maple's qualities with maximum shell resonance and tonality. On the other hand, StudioMaple snares feature thicker 10ply 7.5mm shells, providing additional volume and projection for maximum cut where it's needed most.
Besides its tonal characteristics, our maple is a beautiful foundation for our Brilliant High Gloss Lacquers featuring an extensive process resulting in stunningly deep, mirror-like finishes.
EFS Shell Technology™:
Engineered For Sound. Among other innovations, Taye EFS™ utilizes cross-lamination in the shell formation process. Cross-lamination is the method of perpendicularly alternating the direction of the wood grain within the plies, providing drums with extremely rigid shells, resulting in breathtakingly broad tuning ranges.
PocketHinge®:
Another Taye innovation. With no internal pressure points, PocketHinge™ effectively distributes force across a wide area of the rod to which it mounts, delivering dependable, slip-free performance.
Studded Gaskets:
Patented studded lug gaskets remove any metal-to-wood contact allowing the drum to resonate more freely, delivering optimum sonic performance in all environments.
