Pearl - PBDML1614A-368 Championship Maple Black Silver Burst 16" x 14"

The Pearl PBDML1614A-368 marching bass drum features a 6-ply maple body for deep, well-distributed resonance. This choice of wood helps to build a full bass, while maintaining a clean response under the strike, which is essential for maintaining a coherent bass line in a marching ensemble.

The precise chamfers facilitate tuning and contribute to a regular vibration of the body, without dead zones or muffled sensations. To maintain this stability, the wide maple hoops distribute the tension evenly, helping to maintain reliable tuning over time.

Reinforced claws and tie rods designed for high tension take the strain of outdoor playing and long rehearsals without difficulty. Several air vents are built in to allow air to escape properly, improving forward projection and response under the mallet.

Finally, the aluminium fittings maintain a solid structure while avoiding excess weight, an important point for comfort when marching. The whole package is rounded off by an attractive Black Silver Burst finish, giving this bass drum a strong, elegant visual presence!
