Aurora™ Series - The Darkside™

The Aurora™ Series harnesses the power of magnetism allowing varying items the ability to quickly connect for multiple playing modes:

• 1) UAV mode (nothing connected) lends each pad a clear musical tone, especially in the center 4 inches, the perfect feedback to let you know when you are dead-on.

• 2) Solar Flare mode (3" Snare Puck inserted) adds a bright nuanced SNARE sizzle to each stroke and narrows the variance between center and edge playing.  The new and improved puck is made up with stainless steel "zills", aka jingles, and it is fully adjustable to give you as much or as little sizzle as your ear desires. 

• 3) Coupled mode (3" Docking Module inserted) boosts the articulation greatly and increases the tonal variance from edge to center. The module allows for connection to any 1/4-20 (default) threaded cymbal stand for a quick-docking stable platform. 

The Darkside™ is 11 1/8" in diameter, with a 9 1/4" Darkmatter™ playing surface, and weighs under 3lbs (without inserts). It comes equipped with all 3 modes, and is constructed with white Birch hardwood. There are thicker layers over the center core (in comparison to the The Visitor™) for more responsive playing experience - total thickness is 1 1/2".
