The Andante Pro Series Bass Drum is designed in a traditional style to deliver a rich, full-bodied tone balanced with responsive, crystalline clarity. Built to meet the demands of competitive pipe bands, this bass drum combines proven acoustic principles with modern manufacturing techniques to produce a powerful yet controlled sound that anchors the ensemble with confidence.
 
At its core is a 4-ply birch shell reinforced with two 8-ply strengthening rings, providing both structural integrity and enhanced tonal projection. The drum is fitted with 10mm birch hoops, low-mass die-cast claws, and lightweight support bars, all carefully selected to maximise shell resonance while keeping overall weight to a minimum. This thoughtful construction allows the drum to respond freely while remaining comfortable to carry and perform with.
 
Tuning is straightforward and precise, with ten flush-fitting tension screws on each head to ensure even tension across the entire playing surface. Damping is fitted and tuned as standard, helping to achieve a focused, musical sound straight out of the box. The result is a bass drum that speaks clearly and consistently in both rehearsal and performance settings.
 
Practical performance features are integrated throughout the design. The carrying hook is securely fixed to the shell, offering flexibility with either single or double carrying points. All dismantling, reassembly, and adjustments are carried out using a 5mm T-key, keeping maintenance simple and efficient. Slimline aluminium support bars and lightweight die-cast aluminium claws are finished with a tough, oven-baked powder coating or chrome plating, ensuring durability and a professional appearance suitable for years of field use.
