Description
The Yamaha PHXB-2216MGBCS is a 22″ x 16″ bass drum from Yamaha’s flagship PHX (Phoenix) series, designed for professional drummers seeking ultimate tone, power, and visual sophistication.
This model features Yamaha’s exclusive 11-ply hybrid shell, which combines a Jatoba core for deep, punchy low end, Kapur for warm midrange, and Maple inner and outer plies for brightness and clarity. This combination produces an exceptionally rich, versatile, and powerful sound.
A 30-degree bearing edge, carefully shaped for bass drum response, provides fast, punchy attack and focused sustain — perfect for both live and studio situations.
The drum is undrilled (R-version), meaning there are no tom mount holes in the shell. This preserves the natural resonance and sustain, allowing the drum to sing fully.
