SJC Custom Drums - Navigator Series 16" x 18" Maple Floor Tom with 2.3mm Hoops and Shield Lugs - Ghost Black

SJC Drums introduces the Navigator Floor Tom, a professional-grade 16" x 18" acoustic instrument handcrafted from seven plies of select North American maple to deliver exceptional structural warmth, punch, and low-frequency acoustic projection. Built to anchor the deep lower register of modern drum configurations, this large-format acoustic shell features proprietary 45-degree hand-cut bearing edges engineered to optimize drumhead-to-shell contact, blending a crisp, defined stick attack with a smooth, natural sustain that eliminates muddy frequencies in the mix. The resilient multi-ply tonewood body is outfitted with heavy-duty chrome-plated hardware, including signature Shield-shaped tension lugs that distribute high tuning loads evenly across the shell perimeter parameters to preserve your exact target pitch during extended playing sessions. To ensure long-term tuning stability and manage aggressive rim clicks, the drum is equipped with rigid 2.3mm triple-flanged steel tuning hoops on both the top and bottom sides that actively resist bending or warping under high-impact stick contact. Finished in a distinct Ghost Black translucent exterior coating that showcases the natural underlying wood grain characteristics while shielding the maple core against surface scratches and stage scuffs, this versatile floor tom comes pre-configured with factory-fitted with premium industry-standard drumheads and features robust side bracket mounts designed to accept standard floor tom legs for secure, slip-free height positioning alongside your primary snare setup.
