14x11" Floor Tom, 4.5mm. This floor tom sounds warm and deep, and thanks to the shallow size controlled and tonal well defined. The sound character stays true acoustically over wide distances.

Thanks to the shallow shells the drum kit respond quickly and precisely. The 18" Bass drum sounds round and not too intrusive. Overall a well balanced, open, warm, and defensive sound, as sought after in rock and jazz music. In direct comparison with the maple kit, the walnut shells have a bit less attack and a bit more bottom, especially the bass drum, which makes it the first choice for really bright sounding rooms, orchestras, and theaters.

Drum Heads:

Adoro Heritage / Classic SD (Toms), SD Coated/ Heritage (Bass Drum), Heritage / Resonance (Snare)
recommended for long sustain and reduced attack, perfect for bright sounding rooms

Did you ever ask yourself if there are "real" drums that work in such sensible, drum hostile situations as in theaters, clubs, or churches? Well, certainly, there are...

  Perfect volume control „Adoro“ is Spanish for “I adore“. The Worship Series is actually meant for adoration: drums for worship bands, and events with small audiences where the drums are not fully amplified, and a good, low volume stage sound is needed.

The idea behind the Worship Series was to build a drum line that can be played at a really low volume, thus sounding full and well balanced. At worship gigs (as well as at club gigs or any other small events), often the drums are the loudest instrument and quite often won‘t be picked up directly with microphones.

The biggest task for the drummer is to play as low volume as possible, which can result in bad drumming, but surely in a bad drum sound:  

Usually, drums are built for large stages, where you can play as loud as you want to, and not with small clubs and worship settings in mind.

From a well balanced low-volume drum set also the resulting stage-sound benefits. It becomes easier to hear each other and to listen to each other, so especially in situations where not the drummer but the worship leader is leading, and the music is improvised a lot, you really benefit from a transparent, warm sound that lets everything be heard.

Even when played loud, the Adoro Worship Series is still recognizable lower in volume, and so fitting much better into the overall sound concept: a drum set with the acoustic sound of a well balanced amplified kit.
