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.

This model’s 6-ply, 7mm shell features four outer plies of North American Maple for tonally-centered projection and body, and two inner plies of African Mahogany for lower-pitch frequencies and harmonics. A stellar “go-to” snare drum for recording in the most demanding environments.
