Premier Genista Classic 18" x 16" Floor Tom, Shadow Fade Overview
The Premier Genista Classic 18" x 16" Floor Tom is a great upgrade choice for any advanced drummer, or as an addition to any Premier Genista shell pack. Going back to Genista's roots, the floor tom is made from an all-birch design that offers great punch and volume with exceptional attack and a fast sounding decay. The tonal quality of the shell makes the floor tom a great choice for a wide range of musical genres.
The Genista floor tom shells boast the original Genista 6mm under sizing on their diameter. This design ensures an easier and more accurate tuning experience, whilst guaranteeing optimal clarity and definition. All Genista shells are precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge which helps to further increase attack, resonance and sustain for optimum sound performance.
The floor tom's tension lug design was a firm favourite of many drummers who played the original Genista series. All castings have been retooled from the original factory drawings for maximum authenticity, performance, and aesthetic. Each lug is subsequently fitted to their respective shell using an isolating moulded plinth to guarantee a larger than life, uncompromising tone.

The original Genista kits are renowned in the drumming world for their exceptional performance, sonic quality, and timeless look. The Genista was the first unsupported birch shell to be produced by Premier, offering a classic sound that continues to be admired by all drummers.

All Genista shells are also precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge which helps to further increase attack, resonance and sustain for optimum sound performance.
Finishes that pay homage to the predecessor
Every Genista Classic finish pays tribute to its predecessors with a choice of stain and sparkle high-gloss lacquer finishes. Synonymous with quality, at the heart of each shell is the famous "P" badge. Each Genista shell is also protected with an anti-moisture internal lacquer to preserve and prolong its life in humid environments.
