Each ply adds resonance while providing rugged durability. When you strike the drum, the shell resonates fully to produce a booming, sustained tone that's highly audible.

Whatever your marching application, the Finalist shell projects with authority.

This bass drum is equipped with 1.5" maple hoops that lend durability for consistent tuning and reliable performance. Maple is dense and rigid, adding sturdiness to withstand your most powerful strokes. The hoops' thickness provides stability to hold tuning over time, even during long rehearsals or all-day competitions. You can tune exactly how you want, confident the Finalist will hold that tension. And the hoops' rigidity gives you a solid playing response. Each stroke resonates crisply and authoritatively. Whether you're pounding out beats in the stadium or executing tricky rudiments on stage, the Finalist's maple hoops keep you sounding your best.
