The bass drum for a serious head-banging bottom.
The Taye TourPro Graphix Skulls bass drum is definitely the bass drum for you if you want to make a statement! From the front skull adorning Taye logo head to the skull inlays on the hoops, Taye made sure to catch every terrifying detail.
Taye Graphix drums are produced with high quality, one-of-a-kind graphics and are issued in very limited quantities. The Skull bass drum features Taye's TourPro 8-ply 7mm EFS custom birch/basswood shells, Taye's patented UB105 tom mount, the BC100 articulated bass drum claw, and their Slidetrack tom holder system.
This bass drum mixes the right woods to harness the best of both worlds. For the TourPro drums, Taye started with basswood, which was an integral component in the sound of those revered drums of forties through the sixties. A softer wood than maple, its open grain structure diffuses the sound somewhat, warming it. Then Taye added birch, a wood with maple-like density, to the formula. What basswood spreads out, birch tightens up. The result is centered attack with a pronounced roundness and complex overtones—very much a vintage vibe. It's a sound some say was lost and is now reclaimed in the Taye TourPro series, which are finished using the same lacquering process as Taye's StudioMaple.
