The Pearl Championship Maple 16'' x 14'' Marching Bass Drum features a solid maple construction for ultimate projection of low-end frequencies, perfect for keeping your band in time. The 100 percent 6-ply maple shell offers extreme strength and durability, allowing for use in any climate conditions. An angle cut 45-degree bearing edge enhances the volume and projection of the drum whilst increasing the effect of the advanced air chamber design, resulting in a rich resonance and superb tone. The acoustically placed air vents themselves allow quick air exit for excellent response with added projection. The shell is accompanied by 2", 6-ply, high gloss black maple hoops which are secured to the shell with extra wide claws for an even grip, providing the most consistent tuning possible. With lightweight aluminium castings and 6mm case-hardened tension bolts, the Championship Maple Marching Bass Drum was designed for years of high performance, heavy duty use.
Pearl have also implemented their Superior Shell Technology, using a proprietary technique to create the most efficient air chamber possible. Each wood has been chosen due to its acoustic properties and crafted using advanced construction methods to achieve an air-tight fit. Every wood ply is saturated with Pearl's 'AcoustiGlue' which dries to the exact consistency of the wood for maximum resonance. The plies are finally formed in high-temperature moulds under extreme pressure to produce shells which support the perfect balance between strength, exceptional tonal warmth, and remarkable resonance.
The Pearl Championship Marching Bass Drum series is designed for any band looking for a high-quality bass drum which combines affordability with a lightweight and versatile design, whilst offering suitability for all age groups. The drums are designed to last through years of heavy duty use and maintain their high-end performance. With a pure white finish which complements any band uniform, there are a variety of bass drums sizes of snare available, from 16" to 28" in diameter and 14" in depth, available in pure white and midnight black finishes.
