Description:

Power-Lite marching toms provide a quality sound in a lightweight design and carry many of the same features as more expensive models.

Shell
The 8-ply mahogany and beech shell balances warmth with punch and strength, while the Air-Seal system of manufacturing ensures the shells start round and stay round. An in-round shell tunes clearer and provides a pure fundamental tone.

Rims
The 1.6 mm. triple flange steel rims provide tuning flexibility and enhance the low-end partials.

Lugs
Superior strength for high tuning is provided by the zinc alloy lug casings with reinforced walls and webbing.

Maximum Tonal Projection Cut
The Maximum Tonal Projection cut--MTP , is designed to project a cutting, focused tone.

Nylon and Steel Washers
The nylon and steel washers allow smooth tuning at high tension.

Shells avaiable are 8, 10, 12, and 13 inch sizes. Configurations are 8-10-12 tris or 8-10-12-13 quads.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Lightweight
Cons:	far spacing between drums

Unique sound, our line uses clear pinstripe heads that dont resonate much and the drums get a lighter, more bubbly sound(like temple blocks, kinda hard to explain) Th big downside though is the 1-1 1/2 in space between the drums. This is a MAJOR problem when it comes to scrapes and crossoves. The lack of spocks hurts, too. Good drums, but going full size would give u better tone, more compact drums, and more projection

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	durrible good sound
Cons:	space between drums

My line has used these for about 2 years now and they been very durrable. We thrash our drums in practice often and these hold up great. The biggest down side is how far apart the drums are spaced. It becomes a real problem when you play more difficult music. Over all I feel the drums sound really good.
