To be a Finalist, you need a Championship attitude — and these drums are ready for the challenge! Combining Pearl’s first-ever corps-style birch shell with Pearl’s world-renowned Championship Series Cast Aluminum hardware, Finalist drums are the answer for programs looking for a high-quality, lightweight, and durable marching solution on a limited budget. Finalist snares and tenors borrow the Championship Series bearing edge, maple reinforcement rings, and size configuration recipes for the ultimate performance experience.

Finalist tenors feature a new medium-depth “Mid-Cut” shell for reduced weight, and Pearl's standard fully rounded bearing edges with maple reinforcement rings that add depth and punch to the birch shell tone. 

Pearl's Folkloric line of congas feature a traditional look with modern innovation that only Pearl can deliver. Each 28” tall Oak drum is designed for the “seated” player, but includes stand mounts for players who prefer to stand. Thicker South American-style natural skin heads make the drums warm-sounding, but a fiberglass gel coating on the interior seals the shell and add the projection and volume desired by today’s players. Four Polished Steel Reinforcing Bands are inset on the shell for a smooth touch, and the traditional hoops complete these stunning Cuban instruments.

The PPS20 Foot Pedal Bracket allows cowbells, blocks and other instruments to be played with a bass drum pedal. A squared, dimpled post provides maximum support without slippage. A longer "L" rod is available with the PPS20L model. The Eyebolts, Wings and knurled pegs are reversible to utilize a rubber or spiked tip.

Frame drums are played around the globe, spanning many musical genres and cultural borders; and now, Pearl provides these fundamental instruments in a range of sizes, made with the quality on which Pearl’s reputation was built. Constructed of blended Asiatic hardwood and featuring a coated drumhead, the drums produce a full, open tone, and are drum-key tunable. The drums come in a set of 6 sizes 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16”, and 18”.

The Frame drum is one of the most ancient musical instruments, and this single headed drum is reputed to be the first drum ever invented. Pearl's tunable Frame drums are available in a set of six drums that nest together for easy storage.
