Designed by Jeff Hamilton with a nod to the traditions of the Jazz greats, the “Maximus” has the sound and feel of a vintage drum, built with modern precision and articulation. Made from a 6″ deep, 100% Mahogany shell, it is outfitted with a special snare bed for the execution of the most dynamic playing. It is the choice for a warm, big sound, with the ability to whisper in the most delicate small group settings. Tradition meets a modern voice, the Maximus is a commanding instrument for all forms of playing.
