Premier Bass Features
There is no hiding behind a bass drum. It either lifts the entire corps or drags everything down. The Premier Bass is not about gimmicks, as it is about tone that moves through your chest and into your boots. This thing is big for a reason. The deeper the shell, the deeper the power behind each beat. And you feel it, not just hear it, whether you are ten paces back or playing next to it.
Here is what sets the Premier Bass apart:
- Built with a 4-ply birch shell that delivers rich tone with powerful resonance
- Deep shell construction for fuller low-end response that anchors the entire drum line
- Designed to push air, not just make noise, it moves the sound, not just fills the space
- Lightweight enough to carry long distances without breaking your back before the gig
- Tuning range that can go wide without losing punch or warmth
This drum is not just another big circle with a logo. It is the core of your band’s feel.
Available in black. Turnbuckle tuning, natural color wood hoops, silver powder coat hardware.

Bass Professional Drum Overview
The term bass professional is not just for marketing. It means the thing actually holds up under real use. You do not just roll this out once a year for Highland Games. It plays hard, season after season.
Professional bass drums need to stay consistent between rehearsals, rain delays, and last-minute retunes before stepping off. They need to stay round, stay punchy, and not go dull after a few heavy hands or dropped mallets. The Premier Professional Bass knows what is being asked of it and delivers like it has been there before.
Why pipers and drummers choose this drum for serious use:
- Solid, road-ready construction that handles high pressure tuning without deforming the shell
- Delivers both thump and tone, not one at the expense of the other
- Holds up in bad weather, backstage stress, and long bus rides with zero babysitting
- Balanced enough to pair well with tenors and not get buried behind snares
- Built for impact but still tunable for musicality and blend

- Reinforced shell structure for better sustain and no flex under heavy playing
- Durable finish that stands up to stage lights, sun glare, or full Scottish drizzle
