The 3000 series Expert Drums are designed to process sheet film with the highest quality possible. (Please read that sentence again, it's the most important sentence on this page). It doesn't matter what system of development you're contemplating; hand processing, rotary processing, hanger processing, or any other method -- using the Expert Drums will yield beautifully even edge-to-edge development.
It normally isn't a good idea for a company who sells photographic equipment to declare that their stuff provides random processing. After all, we all want consistency while developing our film. The reason we state that processing with the Expert Drums is "utterly random" is because the unique design of the drums dares the chemistry to try to develop a pattern. It can't! What this means is you won't get streaks or spots, and the density will be completely uniform.
The Expert Drums fit on the JOBO CPA-2, CPP-2, and ATL-2x00 (they don't fit on the CPE-2 or ATL-1000/1500). (One interesting point about the Expert Drums: We hear time and time again that people purchase a processor to get to use the Expert Drums. We understand that's like saying people buy a luxury car because the like the tires that fit it. But it's true!)
