The Noble & Cooley Horizon Series 3-piece shell pack with 22" bass drum sets the stage for drummers who want both clarity and character in every note. Each shell is built from a hybrid blend of maple and mahogany, using horizontal ply construction with 45-degree bearing edges on toms and a 30-degree edge on the bass drum. The configuration creates a punchy attack and a nuanced, darker undertone that stands out in live settings. Brass tube lugs, triple-flange hoops, and a honey maple satin lacquer finish add visual appeal and long-term reliability. This drum kit gives players a focused, vintage sound with modern control, suiting anyone who needs their drums to respond quickly and sound balanced in studio or on stage.

Hybrid Maple-Mahogany Shells Shape Vintage Tone

Step into the sound of Noble & Cooley craftsmanship, where hybrid maple-mahogany shells bring a vintage voice into the modern age. Horizontal plies in each drum shell let the wood vibrate more evenly, echoing the resonance found in classic steam-bent drums. Maple keeps the attack bright and clear, while the mahogany inner layer adds warmth and depth. The result is a shell pack with dark overtones and fast response that help every note cut through busy mixes. Musicians get a tonal palette that feels alive, making it easier to dial in both punch and sustain for detailed grooves.

Noble & Cooley CoolMount Suspension

Noble & Cooley’s patented CoolMount suspension system makes the rack tom sing with freedom and resonance. The mount attaches at a nodal point so the shell vibrates naturally without being choked. This design avoids unwanted damping and preserves the drum’s sustain and tone. Drummers notice a richer, open sound and consistent projection during long sets. The suspension keeps the rack tom stable, so setup and teardown go faster with less fuss.

Noble & Cooley Hardware and Hoops

Attention to detail defines Noble & Cooley hardware, from brass tube lugs to triple-flange chrome hoops. Brass tube lugs and 2.3 mm triple-flange chrome hoops anchor the tuning and make adjustments smooth. The hardware resists corrosion and holds tension, even with heavy playing or fast tuning changes. Chrome finishes stay clean and provide a strong visual contrast against the lacquered shells. Players can trust the build to stay reliable through rehearsals, gigs and travel.

Horizon Series Honey Maple Satin Lacquer

Every Noble & Cooley shell receives a finish that looks as good as it protects. Each shell is coated with a furniture-grade satin lacquer, giving the kit a lasting finish that resists dents and scratches. The edges are shaped for fast attack and sensitive response, while the hybrid plies handle temperature and humidity shifts without warping. Drum makers handcraft every piece at Noble & Cooley’s New England workshop, maintaining a tradition of quality and durability that dates back to 1854.
