The corresponding Carbon Fiber Tenor Mounts are specially designed connection points made from solid carbon fiber sheets that are constructed to match each specific drums layout. The use of the tenor mounts allows the drums to resonate freely and correctly in a near free-floating state, while also being strong, stable, and arranged in the correct positions to promote proper tenor playing. The tenor mounts are connected directly to individual lugs, eliminating the need for compromising the shell with drilling and additional dampening from mounting hardware.
