Adams Philharmonic Series Chimes reproduce the unbelievable sound of church bells at their finest. Adams exclusive brass alloy tubes produce clear, pure pitch with almost endless sustain. Adams chimes are available in three distinct series and are designed to offer the finest sound and construction available within each respective price range.

Each 1-1/2" diameter exclusive brass alloy produces a clear, pure pitch with seemingly endless sustain. Philharmonic Chimes are available in either a brilliant chrome-plated finish, (BK5203C) or a beautiful satin brass finish (BK5203S). Adams Chimes come standard with a full-length protective cover and a two-tone mallet.

Today's music requires instruments with power, projection, and fullness of sound. Today's percussionists demand instruments that have a tonal quality that can be used in the studio for the most delicate passages, powerful enough to be heard at the back of the stadium, and durable enough to last on the road. Pearl Philharmonic concert toms do all that with the best hardware on the market to back it up.

Pearl's Philharmonic Series Concert Toms feature 100% 6-ply African Mahogany shells for a rich sustain and powerful penetrating bass tones.

The Double-Headed Toms are equipped with Pearl’s outstanding R2 Air Tom suspension system. Its exclusive four-point floating isolation platform was developed following a two-year research and development journey. By understanding that every drum's best mounting point is in the CENTER of each shell, mounting weight is equally balanced across two floating points at the top and bottom of each tom. This gives true tonal separation from mounting hardware and enhances sonic output.

The Single-Headed Toms are equipped with Pearl’s Opti-Loc suspension tom holders allow the shell to resonate freely resulting in maximum sustain and resonance.

The newest drum in the Philharmonic series is the amazing 20-ply, 18mm thick Maple/Birch PHTRF model drums. These 20-ply drums produce the most articulate and cutting response from the entire Philharmonic Series and produce an immediate presence in any hall.

Made for the next generation, these incredible drums feature Pearl’s famous STL lugs, Die-Cast hoops, and the all-new and improved SR505 Triad Silent Strainer plated in lustrous Nickel. Each drum shell is hand finished in a classic #359 Twilight Burst, or the unique #187 Silver White Swirl.

From the lightest touch to the thickest rolls, Philharmonic 8-ply 100% Maple shell snare drums deliver the power to be heard, with a dark, full tonal response that has become the preferred sound of orchestras and artists around the world.

Maple is the ideal choice for a concert snare drum due to its range of frequency response and warmth in sound quality. Our exclusively manufactured 7.2mm 8-ply 100% Maple wood shells have a smooth even texture that remains durable under a wide range of conditions and accepts a variety of rich lustrous finishes. This highly respected acoustic wood offers a wide dynamic range and a well-balanced overtone response. Full-bodied low frequencies, with an even balance of high and mid-tones, have made this shell the all-around accepted premium material in the acoustic drum industry.

Philharmonic PHX African Mahogany concert snare drum features a unique shell design and the new and improved SR505 Triad Strainer Systems. PHX drums are used for a wide range of playing styles and are available in 14” x 5”, 14” x 6.5”, 15” x 8”, and 16” x 16” sizes. PHX brings a Classic and Iconic American Sound to the Philharmonic Series and is as equally beautiful to look at as they are to play.

PHX Philharmonic snare drums feature a 4-ply African Mahogany shell with 4-ply Maple reinforcement rings, producing an incredibly full tonality with a natural low-frequency response that is ideal for concert applications. Both the 1580 and new 1616 models feature 6-ply Natural Maple hoops and 8 chrome Slim-Line Aluminum tube lugs with insulated low profile chrome claw hooks, as well as a special snare combination of Synthetic Gut and Heavy Coated Cables for a dark and full sound reminiscent of rope and field drums.

The 1450 and 1465 models include standard Philharmonic features such as Die-Cast hoops, 10 Classic Tube lugs with stainless steel tension rods, and Vintage cut snare beds. The new SR505 strainer system is outfitted on these models with a combination of coated cable, Synthetic gut, stainless steel, and light cable snare materials for a whisper-soft response, and a warm projecting tone that will be heard in the largest venues.  

All PHX snare drums feature fully rounded bearing edges on both top and bottom for a fundamentally focused response and easy tuning with a variety of head styles. PHX Philharmonic African Mahogany drums are finished in a classy #210 Matte Walnut finish and backed by Pearl’s industry-leading Lifetime Warranty.

Constructed of the highest quality Beech for incredible warmth and low-end response, Adams Bass Drums are the definitive orchestral bass drum. The Philharmonic Series adds a vintage style to the stage, featuring timpani-style rods, steel hoops, natural skin heads, and a unique Philharmonic tubular steel frame.

PHB Philharmonic Brass offers the highest frequency response in the Philharmonic Series with bright cutting clarity and finesse. 1.5mm thick brass Philharmonic shells have a bright, highly focused, well-balanced bright ringing tone that soars without being choked or forced, perfect for situations needing more volume and projection.

Beaded brass shells on 5” and 6.5" depth drums add a touch of style and strength while the 4” piccolo depth is a straight brass shell to accommodate the shorter tube lug standoffs.
