The reason is simple – tonally superior birch shells, luxuriously braced mapex 550A Series hardware, in a wide range of configurations for a remarkable price – plus a free add-on tom tom (complete with mounting hardware).

The M Birch’s exterior maple ply allows beautiful wood grain to show through the drum’s eight coat, hand-rubbed lacquer finish. The all maple M Birch bass drum hoops are color matched and secured via low profile claw hooks. M Birch Kits include a matching birch shell snare drum.
