Product Ref: 84391
The Pearl Pipe Band 28'' x 12'' Maple Bass Drum utilises a high-quality maple shell, constructed with Pearl’s Secure Shell Technology (SST) for optimised tonal characteristics with superior sonic qualities. The 4-ply maple shells are accompanied by 6-ply maple hoops, offering maximum strength and durability for reliable use on the go or during marching. The hoops are secured by die-cast rubber-lined claws for an accurate and consistently tuned sound throughout your drumming sessions. With aluminium tube lugs for increased durability, the Pearl Pipe Band Bass Drums are designed for years of heavy duty use and with the entire pipe band series. Each drum features a high-gloss UV lacquer finish for ultimate protection against the rigours of outdoor playing, whilst maintaining a stunning, professional look.
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 Pipe Band 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 stunning scarlet fade finish, there are 3 sizes of drum available, ranging from 12 to 16 inches in depth and 28 inches in diameter.
