Description

When precision, projection and unmistakable style are equally important, the Franklin Drum Company 3-piece Brushed Aluminum Shell Pack delivers on every level. Featuring striking brushed aluminum shells, chrome Franklin script badges and classic black bass drum hoops, this kit pairs industrial-inspired aesthetics with exceptional musical performance. Constructed from 3mm thick rolled and welded aluminum and enhanced by Franklin's custom flat-top double 45-degree bearing edges, it produces a balanced voice with crisp articulation, powerful projection and impressive responsiveness. Premium Remo drumheads, beavertail lugs, vintage-style bass drum spurs and 2.3mm triple-flange hoops complete a Guitar Center Exclusive shell pack built to perform in demanding studio and stage environments.

Distinctive Aluminum Tone and Response

Unlike traditional wood shells, aluminum delivers a unique combination of clarity, sensitivity and controlled sustain. The 3mm rolled and welded shell construction provides exceptional durability while producing a focused attack with excellent note definition and projection. Franklin's custom flat-top double 45-degree bearing edges further enhance responsiveness and tuning flexibility, allowing the drums to maintain their articulate character across a wide tuning range. The result is a versatile sound that remains balanced and musical whether played softly in the studio or pushed hard on stage.

Versatile 3-Piece Configuration

The shell pack includes a 22x14" bass drum, 13x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom, providing a versatile setup capable of covering a broad range of musical styles. The 22" bass drum delivers punchy low-end power and projection, while the rack and floor tom combination offers balanced tonal separation and expressive dynamic range. From rock, pop and alternative to worship, funk and fusion, this configuration supplies the flexibility and performance modern drummers demand.

Shell Pack Flexibility With Premium Components

Handcrafted in Minnesota, every drum comes equipped with premium Remo drumheads, including Controlled Sound Clear Black Dot and clear Ambassador heads on the toms, a Powerstroke 3 clear bass drum batter head and a clear Emperor resonant bass drum head for focused attack and controlled resonance. Beavertail lugs and 2.3mm triple-flange hoops provide reliable tuning stability, while vintage-style bass drum spurs and floor tom legs are included for setup and performance. As a true shell pack, no additional hardware is included, allowing drummers to pair the kit with their preferred stands, pedal, throne, cymbals and mounting solutions to create a personalized professional setup.
