The Championship Bass Drums were designed with the same formula used to design the FFX snare drum and Championship tenors. 6 plies of 100% Maple shells offer maximum resonance and huge sub-frequency projection. To compliment the Maple shells. 2" wide 6 ply Maple Hoops are secured by extra wide claws for an evenly dispersed pressure for consistent tuning. Lightweight one-piece high strength aluminum castings and 6mm case-hardened tension bolts provide uncompromising strength and durability for years of high performance use.

Our Competitor Series Bass Drums offer tremendous value and performance. 6-ply Poplar/Kapur shells featuring 6 strategically placed air vents make these drums highly efficient low frequency projectors. 6 ply Maple hoops provides a rigid mount for the triple-reinforced claws that anchor securely to our zing lug castings.
