Sound Pure's Take
New for 2018, this one-of-a-kind kit represents Pork Pie’s exciting foray into full kits made from exotic tonewoods. Constructed with the same meticulous attention to detail found in their USA Custom Maple kits, Pork Pie’s Siam Oak drum set presents drummers with an enticing alternative tonewood. Siam Oak is traditionally used to make bongos, congas, and cajons, and the warm, round tones heard in these instruments abound in this drum kit.
This kit exhibits sonic characteristics quite similar to maple, with some subtle differences. Siam Oak is a softer wood than maple, meaning that this kit transmits less high-end frequency than a maple counterpart would, allowing for a warm tone with clear and articulate low-end.
Pork Pie’s thin shells allow for musically resonant tones, while the 45-degree bearing edges help to focus the sound into a punchy attack. This is the only Siam Oak kit from Pork Pie with an 18” deep bass drum, making this a truly unique set of drums.
