Medium-depth Mid-cut shells
The reduced shell design lowers weight while retaining the set’s full-bodied, focused sound.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for marching percussion, Pearl’s Finalist FMTB8023 combines four tenor drums in 8, 10, 12, and 13-inch sizes. Its medium-depth Mid-cut birch shells reduce carried weight, while maple reinforcement rings support a focused, punchy voice. Z-Plate spacers hold the drums in position to create a stable playing layout, so the setup stays together through demanding field work. Cast aluminum hardware and 2.3 mm SuperHoop II rims round out a set intended for regular marching use.
