Premier Genista Classic 22" x 18" Bass Drum, Shadow Fade Overview
The Premier Genista Classic 22" x 18" Bass Drum is unmistakable in sound and character. Its premium all-birch 7.2mm, 9-ply shell construction offers great punch and volume with exceptional attack and a fast sounding decay. The tonal quality of the shell makes the bass drum a great choice for a wide range of musical genres.
The bass drum'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.
The birch build when paired with a distinctive tension lug construction sees Premier return to one of its most revered drum designs. 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 the 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. Every Genista shell is also protected with an anti-moisture internal lacquer to preserve and prolong its life in humid environments.
