IN BREVE
ight is a fundamental aspect of our lives and this set is full of it. Every single brass piece has been shaped with pride. The magic of the machine tool: It took dozens of hours of work to shape each lug, each tension rod.
A set of toms for the percussionists of the Berlin Conservatory, the international epicenter of classical music.

NOTES & CURIOSITIES
Through the keyhole
The solid brass keyhole on the outside of the shell lets you peek inside and have a look at the suspension mechanism. We’ll say more about that below. So you won’t find any secrets under the drumhead. Whatever you give to this instrument, it will return to you.
Suspension system
Respighi Drums has developed a suspension system for concert bass drums that has a number of advantages over a traditional system:
- a completely concealed mechanism;
- a system of ropes keeps the shell completely separate from the stand;
- optimal acoustic performance of both shell and drumheads;
- additional emphasis on bass frequencies.
