Get the most drum configuration options with the SPL Birch Competition Marching Tenor Quads. They feature 7-ply all-birch shells for a bright, highly projected sound while maintaining low-end attack, ideal for halftime shows, parades, pep bands and more. Shells include 8”, 10”, 12” and 13” sizes, and we include a sturdy and rugged carrier to effortlessly carry them all. SPL uses weld-less, triple-flange hoops and Evans System Blue Marching Tenor Series drumheads, creating the open sound and articulation necessary for today’s most discerning marching ensemble. 

Since all SPL marching drums are modular, you can start out with a quad and then add an SPL 6” tenor tom to easily create a full quint or two for a sextet— the slots are already available on the included SPL carrier. Or easily downsize to a quad quickly and easily. No drilling or special tools needed.

All SPL Marching Quads include a free T-style lightweight carrier. With most manufacturers, you will need to spend an additional $150 to $200 for the carrier.

    I use the Quads to play/march in my High School Alumni Band. These Quads have a great sound. Tune easy. They sound just as good as the High School expensive Quads. They even came with a large handle drum key, wrench and tool holder. The harness is comfortable.

  • Excellent Product!!

    These drums are great. They are lightweight for tenors, they are cheap, and they produce great sound. I wouldn't recommend this as a performance instrument though. The reason why is because the sound quality. Although the sound quality is good, the wood is thin and doesn't produce as good as a sound as other tenors like Yamaha. I would recommend this for home use though as they are good to let you get comfortable with roughly the same size drums and close to the weight of bigger drums. Overall, these would be good to start if you want to spend little money at a time and still upgrade and add to them.

  • Very great sounded like hevenn

    The height of the drum can't be adjusted. The carrier can be adjusted with a standard wrench.
