PHXB-2418MGMB

The PHXB-2418MGMB is a 24″ × 18″ bass drum from Yamaha’s ultra-premium PHX (Phoenix) series, designed for professional players seeking the highest level of sound and visual impact.

The PHX series uses a unique 11-ply hybrid shell construction, with:

• Jatoba core (dense, powerful, projects strongly)

• Kapur intermediate plies (adds warmth and body)

• Maple outer plies (enhances resonance and aesthetic beauty)

The 24" diameter and 18" depth give this bass drum an enormous low-end punch, deep sustain, and stage-filling presence.

The MGMB finish code stands for Matte Gold Metallic Black. This rare and striking finish features a luxurious matte gold center that subtly fades or bursts into black edges, creating a dramatic, high-end look. The matte surface softens reflections while still showcasing the depth and shimmer of the metallic gold under certain lighting conditions.

Key mechanical features include Yamaha’s hook lug system for even tension and maximum shell vibration, die-cast aluminum hoops for consistent tuning and durability, and 30-degree bearing edges for increased shell-to-head contact, improving low-end response and focus.
