We are always talking about finishes and sound and so realize this is part of the sound .
Who do you think makes the nicest quality shells these days ?
From my personal experience the nicest shells I have seen from the point of shell quality , smoothness and evenness of bearing edges my votes go to :
1) Yamaha PHX - the bearing edges are like glass absolutely no nap at all in either direction , very tight diagonal seams and perfectly even edges .
2) Sonor - any of their high end lines SQ2 , Vintage series , SQ1, Prolite - all are beautiful edges , smooth as silk and the undersized shells are superb
3) Tama Star Maple - my local shop has one of these kits and we took the heads of to look at the edges and shells and they are fantastic - very smooth edges and very well made shells .
