Description
The Yamaha PHXB-1814MGPWH is a premium 18" × 14" bass drum from Yamaha’s flagship PHX (Phoenix) series — the pinnacle of Yamaha drum craftsmanship, designed for the most discerning professional drummers.
Crafted in Japan, the PHX series features a revolutionary hybrid shell construction, combining an inner core of dense jatoba wood, middle plies of kapur, and outer plies of North American maple. This unique combination delivers an exceptionally warm, powerful low end, enhanced projection, and superb dynamic control.
The bass drum features a 30-degree bearing edge with a specially contoured profile designed to optimize head contact, resulting in a focused, punchy attack and controlled sustain.
Equipped with Yamaha’s advanced YESS II (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system, the drum maintains maximum shell resonance and natural tone by minimizing contact points. The hook lug design provides consistent tuning and elegant aesthetics, while lightweight die-cast aluminum hoops ensure precise tuning stability and rich resonance.
