Independent shopping perspective
Built for an 18 in. marching bass drum, this Powermax 2 Ebony head combines two 7-mil ebony film plies with internal damping elements. The free-floating muffling ring and black bottom dot focus the response around attack, controlled tone, and low-end projection. Its high-tension Crimplock hoop expands the available tuning range while increasing stability, so players can dial in the head for marching use. The reflective black surface gives the drum a dark, uniform look.
