Designed for compatibility with Pearl's Airframe 2 carriers, these innovative marching tenors make it easy to transport the entire set securely. Let your rudimental chops shine through with the Pearl Finalist Marching Tenor Set.

Project Your Sound With Lightweight "Mid-cut" Birch Shells

The Pearl Finalist Marching Tenor Set features 6-ply birch shells with a medium depth design to reduce overall weight, making the drums easier to carry during parades and field shows without compromising tone. Birch generates a focused, punchy sound with strong projection that cuts through on the field. The shells' medium-depth "Mid-cut" profile strikes an ideal balance between a lightweight feel and rich, vibrant tone. With dimensions of 6", 10", 12", 13" and 14", the shells produce a balanced tuning range with clear articulation and ample low-end punch. Maple reinforcement rings around the shells add depth and focus to the birch's natural tone.

Maintain Stability With Z-Plate Spacers

The Pearl Finalist Marching Tenor Set incorporates Z-Plate spacers between each drum, keeping your set rigid and stable for optimal response. The spacers eliminate any play or shifting between drums, allowing you to execute intricate rudimental patterns with speed, power and accuracy. This stability also aids your technique, letting you develop a solid foundation that transfers directly to the drum set. With drums locked into an integrated unit, the Finalist tenors maintain consistent tuning and articulation over time.

Tune Confidently With Durable 2.3mm SuperHoop II Rims

Outfitted with Pearl's rugged 2.3mm SuperHoop II rims, the Finalist Marching Tenor drums maintain superior tuning and consistency for marching band performances. The rims' extra thickness keeps them round and true over years of heavy use. This allows you to tune your drums with precision and have the confidence that they'll hold up over long rehearsals and drum corps tours. The SuperHoop II rim design also effectively protects the shell and counterhoop from dings and scratches.

Designed For Use With CX2 AirFrame Carriers

Marching with heavy drums can be exhausting, but the Pearl Finalist Tenors make it easy with compatibility with Pearl's CXT2 Airframe 2 carriers. The innovative ergonomic carriers properly distribute weight across your core and shoulders. You'll conserve energy during long practice sessions, rehearsals and halftime shows. The adjustable design accommodates players of all sizes.
