New Pearl Pipe Tenor and Bass Drums |
|
Pearl’s range of tenor and bass drums already have a reputation for quality workmanship and a world class sound. We have now launched the next generation of drums, which retain many of the best points of the existing range and offer fantastic new improvements. The drums are now available in the following sizes: |

TDP1412 14”x12” tenor drum TDP1512 15”x12” tenor drum TDP1612 16”x12” tenor drum TDP1812 18”x12” tenor drum BDP2612 26”x12” Bass drum BDP2812 28”x12” Bass drum BDP2814 28”x14” Bass drum BDP2816 28”x16” Bass drum BDP3016 30”x16” Bass drum |

The drums are still made of 4 ply naturally aged 100% maple, which creates a full-bodied warm tone with outstanding projection. Each drum now features 100% maple wood hoops which means there is no metal to metal contact which improves resonance and tone. The hoops are secured with top quality die-cast claws, which are strong and light. Each claw is lined with rubber to protect the hoop’s finish. The tuning system uses the traditional method of independent top and bottom head tensioning to achieve an optimum sound. |
 |
Both the Tenor and Bass drums have new aluminium slim line tube lugs, which have a lower mass, and are fitted using two brackets ensuring minimum shell contact to further improve resonance. The combination of wood hoops and new lightweight lugs means an overall reduction in weight. Pearl uses a UV lacquering process to produce a super high gloss finish. The UV finish is more resistant to weathering, is more environmentally friendly, being near solvent free and resists ageing and yellowing over time. |
