Features

6 ply Poplar/Kapur Shells

Competitor Bass Drum shells feature 6-ply Poplar/Kapur shells crafted by Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology. The wood combination produces excellent response in mid to low registers, as well as the full frequency tone you need for a full sounding bass drum. Competitor Series drums bring together traditional materials and legendary Pearl craftsmanship to create high quality bass drums at a tremendous value. Pearl’s 45 degree bearing edge maximizes the volume of these thunderous air chambers.

Die-Cast Zinc Tension Lugs

Competitor Series Bass Drums feature die-cast zinc tension rods, able to withstand modern pitch requirements without breaking.

SST Formed Shells

Competitor Series Bass Drums are manufactured with Pearl's Superior Shell Technology which utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl's proprietary "AcoustiGlue" that permeates every pore and dries to the eact consistency of the wood for optimal resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance, and extreme strength.
