Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Blue Ripple, this 16-inch Quantum Mark II Drums on Demand bass drum is made for marching ensembles. The program pairs a durable premium-wrapped shell finish with production intended to avoid long manufacturing lead times, using school-oriented color combinations that suit traditional and contemporary marching uniforms. Beneath the wrap is a 14-inch-deep, six-ply maple shell with SONIClear bearing edges. Size-specific venting focuses the response and shortens sustain, while external eyebolts simplify player-height changes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School marching programs coordinating Blue Ripple drums with traditional or contemporary marching uniforms.
- Programs needing a 16-inch bass drum through the Drums on Demand finish program.
- Rehearsal changes where drum height must be adjusted without removing the heads.
