Ajax Forte 3-Piece Bop Shell Set – Mardi Gras finish

Vintage-Inspired Ajax Drums with Modern Performance

The Ajax Forte 3-Piece Drum shell set are high-end drums from the respected Ajax family, drawing inspiration from the classic Ajax drums of the 1950s.

Built around a 6-ply Beech/Birch shell, the Ajax Forte delivers a balanced combination of warmth, projection, attack and clarity. It offers the musicality associated with traditional drum construction while providing the control and consistency needed for a wide range of playing styles.

Beech contributes warmth, resonance and a rounded musical tone, while Birch is known for its focused projection, clear attack and strong midrange presence. 

The six-ply construction and round-over bearing edge also provides a solid foundation for consistent tuning, dependable projection and a controlled yet lively response.
