Elegance in Balance

Pneumatic Pitch Control is the return to more rounded and traditional drum forms, making tension rods and other exterior tuning devices completely superfluos. It makes the drum considerably lighter and, crucially, simple and elegant. DAVID ROMAN DRUMS epitomize the beauty of an instrument; perfect balance in sound and form.
