6-ply poplar shells





Each shell included in the Club-JAM Pancake 4-piece Shell Pack is constructed from 8mm of 6-ply poplar. Poplar is a preferred choice for compact kits due to its reduced weight and dynamic versatility. From muted, towel-topped chill-hop to jazzy snare cracks, poplar will come through with a more traditional punch and a focused, sensitive touch for effortlessly clear ghost noting and accenting. To put it plainly: poplar is mellow when you want it and present when you need it.
