For marching percussionists, comfort and stability aren't just luxuries—they're necessities. The CX Airframe Tenor Carrier delivers exactly what you need to perform at your best, whether you're in a competitive marching band or drum corps. This revolutionary carrier combines elegant simplicity with rock-solid durability, ensuring your tenor drums stay exactly where they need to be, no matter how intense the choreography gets.
What makes the CX Airframe stand out? It's all in the thoughtful design. The solid rod, form-fitting upper shoulder frame connects to a thin aluminum belly plate that provides an extreme range of motion. You can move naturally while playing, without feeling restricted or weighed down. The Agility Control System Belt (ACS belt) is the real game-changer here—it unites you with your instrument for optimal stability during today's modern, body-intensive marching performances.
Field-tested by the world's top marching ensembles, this carrier was designed with real players in mind. The minimal moving parts mean fewer adjustments and more reliability when it matters most. Made with lightweight materials that don't sacrifice strength, you'll barely notice you're wearing it during long rehearsals and performances. And when it's time to clean everything up? The shoulder and belly pads are completely removable, making maintenance a breeze.
One of the most impressive features is the "stealth" design. The carrier practically disappears under your uniform, so you can focus on your appearance and performance without bulky hardware getting in the way. Adjusting the carrier is surprisingly simple—just use a standard drum key to make quick, precise tweaks. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the CX Airframe accommodates players of all sizes and skill levels with its highly adjustable system.
When you're pushing your limits on the field, you need equipment that works as hard as you do. The CX Airframe Tenor Carrier isn't just another piece of gear—it's an essential partner that helps you deliver your best performance, every single time.
