Description
The PHXB-2416MSOB is a 24″ × 16″ bass drum from Yamaha’s top-tier PHX (Phoenix) series, renowned for its innovative hybrid shell design and elite craftsmanship. Built entirely in Japan, the PHX line represents Yamaha’s most advanced and luxurious acoustic drum series.
The 11-ply hybrid shell of this bass drum blends a dense jatoba core with kapur and maple outer plies. This combination provides a remarkably powerful low end, a warm midrange, and crisp highs — producing a big, punchy, and extremely versatile bass drum sound.
The 30-degree bearing edges enhance attack and articulation while maximizing shell contact for deeper tone. The hook lug system ensures even tension, promotes shell resonance, and makes tuning easier and more precise.
The finish code MSOB stands for Matte Sapphire Oak Burst, a stunning natural-inspired look with a rich, dark blue burst effect that transitions beautifully across the shell, showcasing the wood grain. It gives the drum a refined, modern, and premium appearance on stage and in the studio.
Equipped with die-cast aluminum hoops, this bass drum offers exceptional strength, precise tuning, and focused sound.
