Features
Compact, commanding, and built to project, the Ultimate 2 Chest Tenor delivers a voiced presence that cuts through parades, stands, and full ensemble moments. Its 100% North American maple shell is formed using RFST for even curing and long term durability. The 45°, 1⁄8" round over edge profile produces a quick, articulate response with a generous tuning range, making it easy to match the broader tenor voice or sit perfectly between snares and basses. Now available in extended sizes: 12” x 15” and 16” x 16”. Like every drum in the Ultimate 2 family, it’s designed to withstand the intensity of daily rehearsal and game day performances—field proven by HBCU, WGI and DCI World Championship ensembles.
