Rod-Tension

The rod-tension bass drum has become the instrument of choice for symphony orchestras all around the world. Part of the great popularity of these instruments is the proprietary, height-adjustable, fully-suspended stand originally designed by PAS Hall-of-Famer Alan Abel but now the Gen II is black powder coated and fully welded.

Rope-Tension

The rope-tension marching bass drums are especially prized by musicians who carry forward the grand traditions of the fife and drum corps. Concert rope-tension bass drums on the Abel stand provide a traditional look and tuning method that is a striking and elegant sight on the concert stage.
