Upright Playing Style Velez Series 15" Tars

These drums are designed to be nimble and brilliant in tone.  We build them with a particularly thin shell, which both highlights the drum's complex overtones, and also makes the drum super light in weight. Versatility in holding positions is enabled by a deep arch grip that is cushioned for comfort and reduced fatigue.
