To be a Finalist, you need a Championship attitude — and these drums are ready for the challenge! Combining Pearl’s first-ever corps-style birch shell with Pearl’s world-renowned Championship Series Cast Aluminum hardware, Finalist drums are the answer for programs looking for a high-quality, lightweight, and durable marching solution on a limited budget.

Features:

6-Ply 100% Birch Shell

Finalist Series Birch Shells use Pearl’s SST Even-Ply technology for a cutting tone in a lighter weight 6-ply, 5.4mm thick shell.

Championship Aluminum Hardware

Borrowing from Pearl's world-famous Championship Series cast aluminum alloy frame, Finalist Series drums can withstand the pressure of today's high-tension requirements.

1.5" Maple Hoops

100% Maple hoops cut to a 1.5” width provide a strong yet flexible tuning platform for all styles of playing.

Oversized Reinforced Claws

Oversized claws disperse tension around the hoop to exceed the tension requirements of modern tuning schemes.

Acoustically Located Air Vents

Acoustically placed to allow for quick air exit for unsurpassed playing response and added projection.

Case-Hardened Tension Bolts

Pearl's 6mm tension bolts are case-hardened to withstand the highest tensions without failure.
