Premier Marching Professional Tenor Drum – 16"×14" Ebony Black

Built for pipe band performance, the Premier Marching Professional 16" × 14" Tenor Drum combines a free-floating 7-ply birch shell (5.5 mm) with wooden hoops for a warm, open tone and strong projection outdoors. The turnbuckle tensioning system lets you set pitch quickly without a tuning key, while the 45° bearing edges, foam damping, and opaque heads deliver a controlled, musical response that sits well in the line. Finished in Ebony Black lacquer with silver powder-coated hardware, it’s a robust, field-ready tenor from a name trusted by championship corps.
