Thick Maple Shell with Striking Presence

At the heart of the SLP G-Maple is a robust 13mm, 13-ply maple shell, one of the thickest in its class. This substantial build delivers a fast, articulate response with impressive projection and volume. The result is a bright, powerful tone that feels crisp and immediate under the stick. An outer ply of Tamo ash adds a timeless aesthetic touch, giving the drum a refined look that matches its bold sonic character. The maple construction ensures that every note, from subtle textures to explosive accents, remains defined and dynamic.
