Topmount: The trucks are mounted below the deck, like a normal skateboard.
e.g: 
Drop Through: There are holes in the deck where the baseplate sits on top of the deck.

Drop Deck: There are bends in the wood of the deck to lower the standing platform. 

The Omen Carbon Matrix IS a drop board. The drop just isn't as pronounced as some (like the one above). 
Oh and it will also cost you almost double what a wood deck would cost.

When I first was starting out which really, wasn't that long ago I was asking for advice and all I got was Daddow!!1!!!!!ELEVEN1!!  GLYDEEE

 

I bought neither of those brands. Good boards though. Btw, the Wolfshark looks so f**king sick. Its pretty much a symmetrical topmount 9two5 so I reckon it would be pretty sweet. The Omen is super duper expensive but if you can afford it, go for it!

Caspian, you are the one who is wrong really.
evos and omens might be mounted the same as a topmount like a wolfshark, but the lowered deck makes them feel nothing like a topmount and it is completely different. Nobody else calls evos topmounts.

really? an evo may not feel like your wolfshark but it is still a top mount, be it the disgustingly wedged and de-wedged beast that it is.

Wolfshark is not symmetrical and an evo is not a topmount. That is all... So much shit on here.

Step1) step on a nemesis, imagine its all carbon. thats sorta what an omen is. step on a wolf shark

Step2) buy the one you like more and ride it

Drop boards have always been a seperate category.
A commet voodoo doll will feel pretty much the same whether its symetrical or not. That isn't too important. But if comet put in a 1 inch drop it would be a completely different board.

Drop boards have a really different feel. Anyone who's ever ridden one can tell you that. The bigger the drop the bigger the feeling. With a killswitch you can barely tell but on something like a switch it feels like you're riding a hammock

like said before if you have the money go for the carbon matrix, i dont think you can say that drop boards are now a separate category, but more like a beneficial change in design like when symmetrical boards when they were introduced. just my oppinion
