Key Features
Product Ref: 81982
The Pearl Competitor 26'' x 14'' Marching Bass Drum utilises a high-quality mahogany shell, constructed with Pearl’s Secure Shell Technology (SST) for optimised tonal characteristics with superior sonic qualities. The mahogany shell features a loosely packed cellulose structure, offering enhanced low to mid frequencies with tremendous power and sustain. The shells are complemented by 1.5" 6-ply, high gloss black maple hoops, secured by extra wide claws for an accurate and consistently tuned sound throughout your drumming sessions. With die-cast lugs for increased durability, the Pearl Competitor Bass Drums are designed for years of heavy duty use. The drums also feature a 45-degree bearing edge for ultimate projection and volume, perfect for achieving a truly strident sound to be heard throughout the band.
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 Competitor 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. The drums can also be used with metal carrying harnesses or traditional slings, allowing you to find the most comfortable and convenient way to carry your bass drum. With a pure white finish which complements any band uniform, there are 8 sizes of drum available, ranging from 14 to 28 inches in diameter and 14 inches in depth.
