24" diameter × 12" depth shell — gives a good balance of low-end richness and manageable shell size for outdoor/marching use.
- Poplar shell material — warm, woody tone; decent resonance; somewhat lighter than denser hardwoods.
- Multi‑lug tuning (several tension rods) for uniform tension on both batter (front) and resonant (rear) heads.
- Removable heads (batter and resonant) so you can replace and tune easily.
- Reinforced bearing edges (machined or cut) to ensure proper contact and sound quality.
- Hoops (flanged or die‑cast) that hold the heads securely and help shape shell motion.
- Cushioned or adjustable muffling/dampening (felt strip, internal muffler or external pad) to control overtones and reduce unwanted ring.
- Mounting hardware / sling or strap attachments for the player to carry it comfortably in marching configurations.
- Durable finish or coating to protect the shell against moisture, weather, and handling damage.
- Resonant projection suited for outdoor performance, with enough attack to articulate rhythms.
