Just as each player has an individual voice, shell materials -particularly on snare drums- react differently to the drummer’s unique approach. This is why Pearl’s Free Floating snares have been custom-tailored to fit a specific task by model.

Pearl’s revolutionary die-cast Free Floating chassis allows each shell to speak with a voice that is uninhibited by shell hardware, for true tonal purity. Individually chosen by size, shell type, and application, each drum is true to the Free Floating concept, and gives the player an unrestrained voice within the tonal spectrum.

Features a 6-ply (7.5mm) SST North American Maple Shell for fat, centered tonality and open resonance. Included Mastercast hoops, combined with the Free Floating frame, increase total weight for higher volume and brighter impact strike.
