Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 5 of 5

Pros

Completely fantastic tone. Craviotto association adds real value.

Cons

Not many were made so you'll have to hunt one down.

The bottom line

The Modern Classic might not impress non-drummers in terms of the way it looks, but it sounds simply sublime. There's something very special about solid shell drums, both sonically and due to their labour-intensive production. Most of all though, there's a cachet about owning one that's well borne out by its sonic performance.
