Plied and sized for tonal versatility
The Epiphany Series Snare Drum boasts a premium maple shell construction plied seven times over and cut with 45-degree bearing edges for some fantastically warm stature and even drumhead energy transfer. Its 7.5-inch x 13-inch dimensions add some playing versatility, giving drummers plenty of depth and resonance to project with ease. The Epiphany thunders at lower tensions and attacks crisply when tuned up, covering a wide range of warm and woody tones for your twos and fours (or ones and threes!). The expertly applied internal satin sealer aids in polishing off and expanding the life of this drum’s pure and refined shell sound, too!
Durable die-cast hoops and hardware
This gorgeous snare affords drummers high quality die-cast hoops at great price point — a feat that many manufacturers today can’t relate to! Die-cast hoops are incredibly durable and are phenomenal for preserving your drum’s intonation. They also make for ridiculously clear and cutting rim shots and cross sticking, making them ideal for the performing drummer. And speaking of performing, the Epiphany Snare features a fast-acting adjustable butt plate, giving you the convenience and freedom for changes on the fly while your snare wires are still in use.
Proprietary wire-tension tuning system
The trademark look of WTS drums comes from its exclusive wire-tension tuning system. Free of the imbalance and restrictions of standard tension rods, all WTS drums come equipped with a unique single-point tuning mechanism that allows for fast tuning adjustments no matter where you’re playing. It’s built to last, too, with die-cast pulleys and system components that provide a dependable platform for the stainless steel aircraft cable to make precise adjustments and meet the tonal needs of the genre or song at hand. A 90% free-floating design also means that the naturally resonating tone of your shell has plenty of room to sing!
WTS: a pure approach to drum making
Since 2015, founder/CEO Samuel Welch and his devoted drum team at Welch Tuning Systems have spent countless hours re-engineering the standard approach to drum tuning and manufacturing — and the payoff is stunning! WTS drums boast a handful of creative patents and a unique wire-tension tuning mechanism that provide up to a 90% reduction in shell-mounted hardware, reducing weight and simultaneously opening up your shells for a purer, clearer, and more natural tone. With several high-grade shell series available and numerous collaborations under their collective belt, it’s more than safe to say that Welch Tuning Systems is on the rise and more committed than ever to integrating their unique tuning technologies into the creative realms of drummers everywhere!
