Finalist
FMTB Tenor Drums
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.
