Independent shopping perspective
For a 16-inch marching bass drum, the Powermax Ebony pairs a black Ebony film with an internal inlay ring, a free-floating muffling ring and a Bottom Black Dot. Together, those features focus the head on attack, tone control, projection and durability. The high-tension Crimplock hoop offers a wider tuning range and increased stability, so tuning changes can be made with more latitude. Its Ebony finish gives the drum a reflective black appearance.
