The PHXB-2218MGRBCS is a 22" × 18" bass drum from Yamaha’s flagship PHX (Phoenix) series, built for drummers who want the richest tone and ultimate stage presence.

? Hybrid Shell Construction

• Features Yamaha’s unique 11-ply hybrid shell, about 10.3 mm thick.

• The core Jatoba plies provide a deep, powerful low end.

• The middle Kapur plies add warmth and midrange richness.

• The inner and outer Maple plies deliver articulate attack and crisp high-end detail.

• This combination gives an unmatched depth, wide dynamic range, and strong projection.

✂️ Precision Bass Drum Bearing Edge

• Designed with a 30° bearing edge, customized for bass drums.

• Creates a focused, punchy attack and deep, controlled sustain.

? Maximized Resonance Design

• The “R” in the model code means it has an undrilled shell — no tom mount holes.

• Allows the drum to resonate freely for a fuller, more open tone.

• Uses hook lugs, which reduce shell contact and enhance sustain.

• Equipped with 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops for precise tuning stability and strong projection.
