Expressive sound quality meets stunning beauty and exceptional value with an enduring significance honored for more than three generations. Saturn VI is the quintessential Saturn in every way.
Features:
- The SONIClear™ Bearing Edge is standard on Saturn shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head to edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the Hybrid shell to stand out.
- The SONIClear™ Tom Holder is the standard attachment mechanism for all Saturn rack toms. The lowmass bridge preserves vibration in the head and shell, enhancing resonance and increasing tonal clarity.
- The SONIClear™ Tom Suspension increases overall resonance by preventing energy transfer to the hardware and preserving vibration in the shell and heads. It stays completely free of the tension rods keeping the heads in tune and allowing for easy head changes.
- The venting is key to the feel and the overall resonance of the shells. Through painstaking testing, each Chamber Specific approach has led to a formula of multiple vent holes in the Saturn series. Toms and bass drums have different combinations of vent holes. These air flow vents are placed at the *Nodal line with the lugs, so as to not affect the resonance of the shells.
- The straighter the path to the floor, the more sound loss: the static 90° Design Lab leg allowing the most possible resonance from the floor tom.
- The steel leg is prevented from contacting the ground by an internal cotter pin, allowing the floor tom to “float” on the elevated “spring” of the rubber foot, eliminating vibration transfer and maximizing resonance.
- Borrowed from the Design Lab Series, the Saturn floor toms have the new “lift” bracket design. The metal components of the floor tom brackets are now entirely on the outside of the shell, isolated by the special rubber lift gasket. This releases all pressure from the shell, alleviating vibration loss.
