The ST-lugs are made of chrome-covered brass, which gives an open, brilliant sound.

The snare strainer is the worldfamous Trick multistep which enables the player to set the snarewire-tension in three stages and thus offers lots of flexibility.

The actual series A02 is equipped with chrome over brass hoops in 2.5mm strenght, which enables a specific long sustain.

The first four snares of the A01 series had ultra-strong diecast-hoops on them for a big sound that is easy to tune.

Shells

All the drums are based on the exclusive BE-BI-BE-shells, where a core of birch plywood is laminated between multiple layers of beech plywood thus giving you the perfect marriage between the specific sound qualities of both woods.

The high quality shells are produced in Germany out of German beechwood and birch from the EU.

The actual series A02 is offered in 6ply (6mm) in the sizes 14x5.5", 14x6.75" (17cm) and 14x8".

The reliable 45° bearing edge with a rounded outside will bring you a nice balance between brilliance and warmth.

The series A01 was offered in sizes 14x5.5" and 14x8".

The customer could choose between a shell-thickness of 6mm for a rich and low or 10mm for a loud projecting sound.

Isolater gaskets

All the metalparts are mounted (inside and outside) with exclusive isolater rubber gaskets, to avoid any contact between metal and wood.

The badges and throwoff have additional black leather gaskets under them.

Wood veneer

All wood veneers from Stegner Instruments are put vertically on the shell and are finished with several layers of wax.

The new series A02 has the 70s type red rosewood veneer.

The series A01 consisted of bright olive or dark macassar.

These decorative veneer sheets on the interior and exterior of the shells remind of the golden era of German drumbuilding and will be a great match for every drumset!
