Pearl Professional Series Maple Snare Drum 14 x 6.5 in. Redburst Stripe

The Pearl Professional Series maple snare drum offers a powerful, articulate tone that cuts through the mix. Its six-ply North American maple shell resonates with warmth and projects with crisp midrange focus. This 14x6.5" snare features 2.3 mm triple-flanged steel hoops, Pearl's SR017 strainer for precise snare response and Remo UT drum heads for optimum sound. With a premium transparent finish, this versatile drum provides stunning looks to match its impressive tone. Six-Ply Maple Shell Delivers Optimal Tone The shell is constructed from six thin plies of dense, resonant maple, renowned for producing an ideal all-around drum tone. At 5.3 mm thick, the shell vibrates freely for rich, sustained tone with well-defined attack. The 45-degree bearing edge allows rapid energy transfer from the head to the shell, increasing sustain. You'll achieve a full, balanced tone that projects powerfully in any venue. Premium Hardware Provides Superior Function This snare features high-quality components for reliable performance. The SR017 strainer swiftly engages or disengages the 20-strand steel snare wires with a smooth throw-off motion and includes a fine-tuning knob to dial in the perfect amount of snare buzz. The sturdy triple-flanged hoops maintain even tension across the drum head. Together with the shell and Remo UT batter head, the hardware produces articulate response and controllable overtones. Transparent Lacquer Finish Enhances Natural Beauty The drum's maple grain is highlighted by Pearl's 31-step finishing process and a premium transparent lacquer. The natural wood pattern is enhanced, not obscured, allowing the shell's beauty to shine through. The finish provides durable protection without dampening tone. With a stunning, versatile appearance, this snare is an asset both acoustically and visually.
