Pearl PST-0606 Championship Articulite Marching Tom

The Pearl Championship Articulite PST-0606/A46 Marching Tom is a 6 x 6” with 4 lugs and reinforcement ring. Comes in midnight black finish.

Articulite Marching Toms are designed to compliment the FFX1410 Snare Drums. The shallow head design provides tight focus while reducing overall mass for the moving high energy performance. Maple hells deliver rich, robust sound while the founded bearing edges deliver that distinctive Pearl sound. Redesigned case-hardened aluminum tension casings offer improved tuning accuracy and even dispersion of tension while 6 mm case hardened tension bolts permit the highest tensioning without failure. Available in 6 packaged sets.

Championship Articulite Tenor Shells have a natural balance of mid to high frequencies that set the industry standard and changed the face of corps competition. Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology is used to make a 6-ply shell out of maple, the drum industry’s premium for dynamic range, sensitivity, and unsurpassed projection.

These six plies are then enhanced with 2-ply support rings to add tremendous shell stability and shape integrity. Fully rounded bearing edges provide full head to shell contact, increase kinetic energy transfer to the shell, and create maximum shell resonance. The shallow cut of the Articulite Tenor shell retains the classic Pearl sound while having less mass for indoor venues and fast paced maneuvers.

Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl’s proprietary “AcoustiGlue” that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.

Get that distinctive Pearl sound.
