Description
The Yamaha PHXB-2216MMB is a 22″ x 16″ bass drum from Yamaha’s top-tier PHX (Phoenix) series, designed for professional drummers who want uncompromising sound and build quality.
? Hybrid Shell Construction
It uses Yamaha’s 11-ply hybrid shell, featuring:
-
A hard Jatoba core for deep, powerful low-end
-
Kapur plies on each side for warm, strong midrange
-
Inner and outer Maple plies for brightness and clarity
This design produces a wide dynamic range and rich tonal character that is both deep and highly articulate.
✂️ Special Bearing Edge
A 30-degree bearing edge with an R1.5 profile is specially designed for bass drums, resulting in a focused, punchy attack with controlled sustain — perfect for modern and versatile applications.
? Undrilled Shell for Maximum Resonance
This is an “R” version shell, meaning it is undrilled (no tom holder mount holes). This allows the shell to resonate more freely and produce a purer, more open sound.
⚙️ Premium Hardware
-
Hook lugs for smooth, precise, and stable tuning while minimizing shell contact
-
3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops to provide extra projection and consistent tuning
