Welded Bronze Shell With Rich Tonal Depth and Articulation

Die-Cast Hoops and Centered Beavertail Lugs for Focused Response

Complementing the welded bronze shell, the Franklin 510 features 8-lug die-cast hoops and centered beavertail lugs that contribute to the drum's focused, responsive feel. Chrome Franklin and Flower badges complete the drum's visual appointments, adding a distinctive finishing detail to its bronze construction.
