Drum Builders Welcome
Manufactured by RCI International, hardened acrylic polymer engineered by RCI and made in the USA .
A more improved transparent & pattern shell design with these key features:
*All seams are acrylic welded and sealed (Engineered at RCI International Patent Pending) .
*These shells do not have a support tab or thin strip of plastic holding the seam together.
*The RCI Starlite shells stand second to none due to the fact they are made for the percussion industry.
*RCI Starlite shells (solid transparent colors, or pattern colors) are "acrylic welded" at the seams thus making them air and water proof.
Why RCI Starlite acrylic shells are #1:
RCI Starlite acrylic welded, sealed shell and the competitors (identified by a support tab holding the seam together.) were sent to an Acoustic Vibration Specialist, the RCI shell being the obvious victor.
*With RCI Starlite, vibration passes through the entire shell giving it the utmost in acoustic tonal qualities.
*"Top, mid, and bottom end tonal qualities suffered due to the competitors "support tab" shell design. All vibration went to the weakest part of the shell..........the seam.
*The best drum builders know; ...top end tuning is crucial to a sealed shell, ..air should be controlled through the venting..
*RCI Starlite Acrylic Shells are the # 1 shell used by the largest and most reputable drum companies in the world today.
