"The shell is made of anodized aluminum with the batter and snare edges turned over for extra strength. Its sound and tone are almost as good as the sound of a chrome plated, solid brass shell. Rapid strainer, tone control, sixteen wire snappy snares. Rim Shot hoops, and plastic heads are standard. Ideal for students with a limited budget.
