These mouthpiece are very unique in that they are made of ceramic. \u00a0I was a bit skeptical when I first heard of these pieces but I have to say that Aaron has done a great job with these mouthpieces. This is a great mouthpiece. \u00a0 It has a brighter and louder sound than the &#8220;double ring&#8221; model and at first I didn&#8217;t like it. \u00a0I thought it was too bright and loud&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; After I recorded and listened to the recording, \u00a0I found that I really liked the recording of this piece.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/drakecontemporary.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/drakecontemporary.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/drakecontempbaffle.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/drakecontempbaffle.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/drakecontempfront.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Drake Contemporary Tenor Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It doesn&#8217;t sound as bright as I thought it did when I was playing it. \u00a0If this was done in a studio with a little bit of reverb this piece would be killer. \u00a0 It has a nice focused sound that really seems to cut through and although it is on the brighter side of things for me it still has a nice solid fat tone to it. \u00a0I really enjoyed this piece. \u00a0Let me know what you think of the clip.
