The Sound. TheStyle. TheLegend... For over 30 years, the Recording Custom has set a benchmark for excellence. Possibly the most recorded drum in history, it has enjoyed an unparalleled history of success and innovation. Although trends come and go, the Recording Custom, with its birch shells and pristine interior and exterior finish, delivers a sound that seems „pre–EQ–ed“, perfect for studio or multi-miking in any situation. Even without a mic it will hold its own – with power and tone to spare.
