Bass Drums

Reference Bass Drums provide unprecedented low frequency response. By utilizing our fully rounded bearing edge and varying interior plies of African Mahogany we have a shell that exudes low frequency power. The 18" and 20" use 2 outer plies of Maple and 4 inner plies of African Mahogany. The 22" and 24" use 2 outer plies of Maple and step up to 6 plies of African Mahogany and offer the most substantial bass available from an acoustic bass drum. "Thunderous" is not cliché here. Available in a wide range of sizes to fit your ideal playing style, Reference Series bass drums will absolutely blow you away.

Pearl’s BRL-300 Bridge lugs feature a unique swivel function that promotes optimal head seating for tuning ease. Our CW-300 Recessed Die Cast Claws incorporate a rubber "hoop saving" gasket.
