Features and Parts for StudioMaple Shell Packs
Taye understands that the features of a drum set, even small parts, like latches, brackets and gaskets, contribute to the overall quality and sound of that drum set. With this in mind they make their components to improve the playability, sound and overall quality of their drums. This approach helps make Taye a leader in drum set parts and components. Taye has been making components for over 35 years and their parts and components are so innovative and effective that many of them have patents.

EFS™ Shell Technology

SuspensionRings™
SuspensionRings™: Taye's SuspensionRings set the industry standard for quality, resonance and function. The SuspensionRings™ allow the drum to float freely, which enables the drum to resonate without being grounded by a direct mount. All rack toms are on SuspensionRings™
.Patented UB105 PocketHinge™ Bracket
Patented UB105 PocketHinge™ Bracket: Taye's patented PocketHinge™ Bracket: Strong and reliable, this patented Taye innovation will succeed where other brackets fail. With no internal pressure points, this bracket efficiently distributes force across a wide surface area of the rod it accepts, making for an efficient and reliable bracket.
BC100 Articulated Claw Hook
BC100 Articulated Claw Hook: Articulated Claw Hook: The Articulated Claw Hook allows for easy and quick head changes because the tension rods do not have to be completely removed to exchange heads. Also, the plastic inserts keep metal from rubbing against wood finishes, as well as eliminates rattling from transferring into sensitive stage and studio microphones.
SpringFlex Bass Drum Spurs
SpringFlex Bass Drum Spurs: Taye's unique SP90 bass drum spurs not only improve bass drum resonance, but their sleek design makes it easy to position stands in and around your bass drum. Also their long retractable spikes eliminate annoying bass drum creeping.
Brilliant high gloss lacquer and premium laminate finishes
Brilliant high gloss lacquer and premium laminate finishes: Fully Glued Laminate Finishes. Taye's Laminate finishes are fully glued making for a durable and long lasting wrap designed to hold up to the abuse of a gigging musician.
Studded Gaskets
Studded Gaskets: Many companies offer gaskets, but unique only to Taye is our patented Studded Gaskets. These Studded Gaskets are durable and will not wear and crack years down the line. They provide the industry's best isolation between the shell and lugs, and eliminate any rattle or squeak which can be picked up by sensitive stage or studio microphones.
Also Includes:
SlideTrack™ Tom Holder System: Modular TC91/92 Tom Clamps: Depending on the configuration, all rack toms come equipped with either our TC91 single or our TC92 double tom clamps.
