8-ply mahogany/maple shell is bold and versatile
Maple has been the gold standard in drum making for years. Its projection and tonal balance make it a solid choice for just about any style of studio or live drumming. By blending in plies of mahogany, Pearl has managed to give this snare a warm, woody tone and smooth midrange that works for virtually any setting.
Free-floating lugs for better tone and shell swapping
Pearl's Free-floating lug system provides a number of benefits over traditionally mounted lugs. First, keeping the lugs off the shell reduces drilling and prevents heavy hardware from inhibiting shell vibrations. This theoretically provides a purer tone and louder sound. Second, the floating lugs allow for more independent top and bottom tunings - you can crank your bottom head and keep your top head loose for a deep punch without sacrificing snare response. Finally, this system lets you swap in other Free-floating shells in a matter of minutes. This is a cost-effective way to audition other shell sizes and shell compositions for different music styles.
High-mass MasterCast hoops deliver a crisp, dry attack
A pair of MasterCast die-cast hoops give the Free-floating snare a dry attack, good projection and note separation, and powerful rimshots and cross-sticks. As a result, you may find you need less muffling on this drum compared to snares with triple-flanged hoops.
