The CP1 features two unique surfaces designed to complement and supplement each other. Our design and concept incorporate features and materials never before seen in the drum industry.

FLEXX Surface:

The FLEXX surface of the CP1 features industry-first 3/4" thickness to create a unique response, resistance, and feel.

Compared to standard solid gum or silicone rubber found in most pads, the FLEXX surface is softer in nature and texture. These characteristics are attained when a foaming agent is introduced into the rubber’s formulation process creating an air-filled cellular structure that rebounds back to its original shape quickly. The surface consists of connected cells that allow air to pass through when compressed, allowing for greater shock absorption while still retaining rebound. Overall, this surface offers a feel somewhere between a standard pad and a pillow. 

WORKK Surface:

At 1/2" in thickness, the WORKK surface is slightly thinner than it's FLEXX counterpart, however, offers a very different feel and response. This surface's overall composition and microcellular structure differ significantly which offers a completely different rebound profile. 

With a softer quality, the WORKK side offers less bounce overall, though still provides a firmness allowing for strokes to be more audible than on a pillow or other completely dead surface.  

 

Valchromat:

When designing the REFLEXX substrate we wanted to address some of the most common problems we had seen throughout our experience.

 

Enter Valchromat.

Valchromat is an award-winning, engineered colored wood. Valchromat’s unique physicomechanical characteristics and manufacturing process involve individually impregnating wood fibers with organic dyes which are then connected with a special resin.

With this cutting edge material, we’re able to achieve superior performance along with eco-friendly and environmentally conscious production.

Valchromat Advantages:

• Colored throughout 
• Nontoxic, CARB 2 compliant
• Moisture resistant
• Greater internal cohesion, load resistance, mechanical and flexural strength than most engineered wood products
• 100% Recyclable

Valchromat DOES NOT Source Wood From:

• Forest areas where civil or traditional rights are violated
• Forest areas of high conservation values threatened by forest management activities
• Genetically modified trees (GMOs)
• Forest areas exploited illegally
• Forest areas resulting from the conversion of natural forests to plantations or non-forest uses

Valchromat Manufacturing Processes Include:

• Manufacturing without waste: Valchromat’s production is aimed at reducing, or even eliminating environmental impact. All waste and bark resulting from the initial processes are reused to fuel the factory's steam boiler.

• Self-sufficiency on thermal energy: Valchromat’s manufacturing plant generates enough biomass to sustain its thermal energy requirements, without burning any fossil fuels.
