PHXB-2016MGRMN

The PHXB‑2016MGRMN combines bamboo craftsmanship with modern hybrid-shell technology to create a bass drum that excels in tonal depth, clarity, and simplicity of aesthetic. Whether for the stage or studio, it delivers pro-level sound, fast response, and a visually refined presence.

Shell Construction

• 11-ply hybrid shell, approx. 10.3 mm thick.

• Core plies: Jatoba (very dense, delivers deep, powerful low-end) and Kapur (provides warmth and midrange punch).

• Outer and inner plies: Maple, adding clarity and musicality to the overall sound.

• Matte Natural finish highlights the beautiful maple wood grain, showing off the organic character of each shell.

? Tonal Qualities

• Deep, controlled low-end: The hybrid construction gives it a solid, punchy bass tone that stays tight.

• Smooth midrange: Kapur and maple layers ensure warmth and balanced projection.

• Fast, articulate attack: Ideal for clear note definition in both live and studio settings.

• Works well across multiple genres — jazz, fusion, rock, pop, or studio work where subtlety and detail matter.

⚙️ Hardware & Features

• Bearing edge: 30° with 1.5 mm radius, designed for bass drums to emphasize punch and reduce excessive overtones.

• Hoops: 3 mm aluminum die-cast, providing excellent strength, stability, and consistent tuning.

• Lugs: Yamaha's signature hook lugs with an internal locking mechanism for secure and precise tuning while allowing maximum shell resonance.

• YESS II system (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System): Advanced mount design isolates the shell from hardware, allowing it to vibrate freely and deliver pure tone.
