The concept is that the entire drum can be rotated on its stand to proportionally increase or decrease the tension of both the top and bottom heads-thus raising or lowering the pitch of the drum. The sound of the drum can literally be changed from that of a piccolo to that of a 10" deep drum (or anywhere in between) in seconds. This eliminates the need for several snare drums in a studio situation, and makes the drum extremely versatile for use on a live gig. - Super fast rotational tuning on both heads - Absolutely even tuning on both heads - Incredibly loud and responsive at any pitch - Double throw off system for three quick snare tension options - The only seamless aluminum free floating shell in the world - Memorize your tension position with a marker on top head for instant recall of sounds - Release counterclockwise after playing to avoid head fatigue - Built with care using the best chrome plated brass lugs and solid casted brass rim. Ivan Firchie speaks about his innovation: IF: "The drum has many tones. You can simply mark the drumhead to find the sound you had been using or want to lock onto. For a deep rock sound or a higher jazz sound, you just need to turn the drum to that marked setting each time you play. By turning it to that exact setting, the drum will tune the same each time
