Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Gome Bass Drum Hand Drum

Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Gome Bass Drum Hand Drum Review



Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Gome Bass Drum Hand Drum Feature

  • high-quality, natural goatskin head
  • distinct, higher-pitched tones, with an extremely deep, resonant bass sound
  • 48 cm (approx. 19 inch) x 48 cm head size, 37 cm (approx. 15 inch) deep
  • naturally finished wood frame
  • tuneable with sturdy internal tuning device
The Gome-Bass is, without exaggeration, one of the most unusual and original West African musical instruments. The Schlagwerk Gome-Bass is modelled on the Ghanaian bass drum, which provides the rhythmic basis for almost all musical styles of the Ga tribe's fishermen. With its broad range of pitches, the gome can be played solely as a bass drum or, if tuned higher, as a djembe-like instrument to be played with djembe techniques. Schlagwerk's skin drums are remarkable in tonal range sound qualities. These drums reward the player with an exciting variety of sounds when played in the traditional manner. Striking the drums on the frame underscores the unbelievable dynamics of these instruments by producing high and singing tones. Innovative design, high-quality construction, and exceptional tonal characteristics are the hallmarks of this Gome-Bass drum. Complementing the high-quality, natural goatskin head is a naturally finished frame that lets the beauty of the wood show through. The head is 48 cm (approx. 19") x 48 cm and the drum is 37 cm (approx. 15") deep. The head is fully tuneable by means of a sturdy internal tuning device. This allows the player to precisely tune the drum to his or her preferences: looser if a bass drum is desired, or tighter for djembe-like sounds. It is like having two drums in one. Due to its unique range of sounds, multifunctional design, and outright distinctiveness, the Schlagwerk Gome-Bass would fit well into many musical settings. This is a professional-class drum that any serious drummer or percussionist would gain a great deal of joy from playing and owning.

Pearl Vision VX825S/B91 Drum Kit, Red Wine (Cymbals Not Included)

Pearl Vision VX825S/B91 Drum Kit, Red Wine (Cymbals Not Included) Review



Pearl Vision VX825S/B91 Drum Kit, Red Wine (Cymbals Not Included) Feature

  • Birch/Basswood Ply Shell
  • 6 ply 7.5mm Toms & 14" Floor Toms
  • 8 ply 10mm Bass Drums & 16"/18" Floor Toms
  • Steel SensiTone Snare Drum w/Hairline Nickel Finish
  • Configuration: 22x18, 10x8, 12x9, 16x16, 14x5.5, 2xTH88I Tom Holders, HWP-890 Hardware Pack (Cymbals Not Included)

Based on the original vision formula, VX drumsets feature blended Birch Ply shells with 6/8 technology. Lower frequencies require greater energy to project equally to match the high frequencies produced by smaller drums. Vision's combination of 6 ply rack toms and 8 ply floor toms and bass drums deliver a dynamically balanced sound. Pearl offers 9 standard VX configurations, more than any other drum manufacturer. VX comes standard with a brushed steel SensiTone snare drum and award-winning 900 Series hardware. VX drumsets are available in 6 affordable solid color wrapped coverings.

6/8 Shell Construction
6 plies in the rack tom shells and 8 plies in the floor tom and bass drum shells provide an amazingly balanced sound, unprecedented for this category.

Birch/Basswood shell with Birch inner ply
After thorough research, Pearl discovered that the inner ply of a drum shell has the greatest effect on the tonal quality of the drum. Therefore, putting Birch on the inner ply of these drums gives them a naturally "EQ'd," punchy tone with enhanced projection and sustain.

Professional Single-ply Heads
Professional quality single-ply heads for outstanding tone and resonance.

  • Birch/Basswood Ply Shells
  • 6 ply 7.5mm Toms/8 ply 10mm Bass & Floor Tom
  • Steel SensiTone Snare Drum w/ Hairline Nickel Finish
  • Wood Bass Drum Hoops w/ Matching Finish
  • Two-Ply Tom Batter Heads
  • Perimeter EQ Bass Drum Heads w/ 3.5" Wide Ring
  • Reference-Look Bridge Lugs
  • Reference-Look Recessed BD Claws w/ Rubber Lining
  • Bridge-Type Bass Bracket
  • Gear Tom Holders
  • 900 Series Hardware
  • I.S.S. Tom Mounting System
  • Beautiful High Gloss Coverings
Optimized Shell Configuration


Based on the original formula, VSX and VX drumsets feature blended Birch Ply shells with 6/8 technology. Vision's combination of six-ply rack toms and eight-ply floor toms and bass drums deliver a dynamically balanced sound. The extra thickness in the floor toms and bass drums gives those drums the same projection as the higher frequency rack toms, resulting in the best sounding kit in its price range.

SST Shell Design
Vision Series offers a sonically advanced recipe of strategically arranged plies of premium wood to maximize frequency response of every component. As with all Pearl drums, each shell is formed from our legendary SST construction process that uses extreme heat, Precision-cut scarf joints, our proprietary Acoustiglue and over 1000lbs of hydraulic pressure to create the ultimate acoustic air chamber.

6/8 Shells
The fundamental thought behind our Award-winning Reference Series is to optimize every component of your kit to respond to its full potential within the confines of its respective frequency range. This is achieved through the usage of premium wood composition and shell thickness via strategic variance in the type and amount of plies. This same spirit of innovation is now available to the emerging musician in the all new Vision Series.

After thorough research, Pearl discovered that the inner ply of a drum shell has the greatest effect on the tonal quality of the drum. Therefore, putting Birch on the inner ply of these drums gives them a naturally “EQ’d,” punchy tone with enhanced projection and sustain. 6 plies in the rack tom shells and 8 plies in the floor tom and bass drum shells provide an amazingly balanced sound, unprecedented for this category.
