SJC Drums introduces the Navigator Series Floor Tom, a professional-grade 16" x 18" acoustic instrument engineered with a 7-ply North American maple wood shell to deliver natural sonic warmth, structural punch, and clear lower-register projection across all musical genres. Built to serve as a heavy low-frequency anchor or an independent expansion for custom percussion layouts, this large-scale standalone floor tom features precision hand-cut 45-degree bearing edges along the shell rims to optimize surface contact with the drumhead for a balanced acoustic voice that blends immediate stick attack with natural resonance. The multi-ply wood core is outfitted with heavy-duty chrome-plated hardware, including rigid 2.3mm triple-flanged steel tuning hoops that maintain uniform perimeter pressure to lock your preferred drumhead tension securely in place through demanding playing schedules. Equipped with iconic, high-mass SJC Shield lugs spaced evenly around the perimeter parameters to distribute tension loads uniformly and maintain stable intonation, the configuration includes robust, fully adjustable floor tom legs that mount securely into the shell brackets to provide a stable, slip-free foundation on any stage or studio floor surface. Finished in a distinct Black with Pink Splatter custom protective exterior coat that shields the underlying maple layers from surface scuffs, scratches, and transit friction, this durable floor tom comes factory-fitted with professional Evans drumheads to ensure complete out-of-the-box performance readiness and seamless integration alongside your existing snare stands, cymbal mounts, and rack components.
Combines a 16-inch depth with an 18-inch diameter to produce a deep, booming low-end acoustic foundation and massive air displacement. This large-scale shell sizing acts as a heavy rhythmic voice that contrasts cleanly with your snare drum snap and provides clear separation inside live stage or studio mixes.
Crafted from seven select plies of dense North American maple wood to supply natural acoustic warmth, structural punch, and expansive projection across all musical genres. This multi-ply tonewood architecture provides a resilient, highly responsive core that effortlessly absorbs high-impact stick work while delivering a balanced frequency range.
Features specialized 45-degree hand-cut bearing edges along the shell rims to optimize surface contact with the drumhead, yielding a balanced sound profile full of immediate stick attack and clear resonance. This precision edge alignment enhances tuning sensitivity across the massive 18-inch diameter, ensuring even tension and long-lasting intonation.
Outfitted with robust 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops and chrome-plated metal components that anchor everything firmly in place for maximum structural strength. The rigid steel hoop design ensures uniform perimeter pressure to keep your preferred drumhead tension locked in securely, resisting detuning during extended, heavy playing sessions.
Coated in a distinct Black with Pink Splatter custom finish that provides a standout visual profile under stage lighting while protecting the underlying wood layers. This durable outer skin shields the multi-ply North American maple shell from surface scuffs, scratches, and atmospheric changes during frequent equipment transportation.
