Taye StudioMaple
100% Specially Selected North American Sugar Maple

...For the Professional Musician
The Taye StudioMaple series is the pinnacle of the drum maker's art. The StudioMaple drum will track your every move and mirror your touch. Crafted from specially selected North American Sugar Maple, the StudioMaple is a drum that will erupt in an optimum blend of highs, lows, and mids.

Our shells are thin and resonant. Made from fine Maple veneers, cross laminated and molded using state of the art techniques, as well as rigid and durable. Everything from the bearing edge to the suspension mounts conspires to make StudioMaple drums one of the world's finest instruments–a drum that is instantly recognizable for its rich sound and evocative lacquer finishes.

Taye StudioMaple is the ultimate in professional drums. They are drums that make you want to play them. Snare drums sizzle, toms open up with defined pitches and bass drums provide the last word in attack, body, and shuddering sub-lows. These are not ordinary maple drums, these are Taye StudioMaple drums that present a whole new palette of sound colors.

Taye Innovations:

• UB105 PocketHinge™ Bracket: Strong and built with less moving parts, this bracket found on Taye's tom mounts, SuspensionRings™, bass drums, and some floor toms, will succeed where other brackets fail.
• SlideTrack™ Tom Holder: A rarity in the drum world, Taye's original SlideTrack™ allows you to adjust the position of your rack tom along the depth of the bass drum, giving you yet another way to put your toms right where you need them.
• SideLatch™ Snare Release: Taye's patented SideLatch™ Snare Release is simply designed for optimum performance: the direct side action release design uses an absolute minimum of moving parts; parts that are normally susceptible to breakage. The knurled tension knob allows easy snare tension adjustment. The unique SlipLock Tension Adjustor feature prevents loosening of snare tension.
