Features

6 ply 100% Maple Shell

Championship Maple Bass Drums feature 6 ply, 100% Maple shells, providing a rich sonority with supreme strength.  45-degree bearing edges give the drums optimal head-to-shell contact for superb tone.

Pearl's shells are created via our Superior Shell Technology, utilizing a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl’s proprietary “AcoustiGlue” that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.

Aluminum Alloy Hardware

Championship Maple Bass Drums feature aluminum alloy hardware, designed to easily withstand today's high tension requirements yet still be incredibly light.

100% Maple Hoops

2"-wide, 6 ply Maple hoops feature excellent strength and durability, allowing for even tension around the head.

Bass drum hoops come stock with a Matte Black finish for a classy look.

Oversized Triple Reinforced Claws

Oversized to disperse tension around the hoop and to exceed the tension requirements of modern tuning schemes

6 Air Vents

Acoustically placed to allow for quick air exit for unsurpassed playing response and added projection

Case-Hardended Tension Bolts

Pearl's 6mm tension bolts are case-hardened to withstand the highest tensions without failure.
