Hybrid Exotic VectorCast Snare Drums
A single tiny strand can make all the difference in the world. Beginning with a composite material filament and resin thread, Pearl’s VectorCast shell is formed around a mandrel in an X-pattern; creating a thin, high-strength shell that “flexes” with each strike. Its characteristic sound is both lively and fat, and is a vast departure from other synthetics like Acrylic or Carbon Fiber.
All Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums are equipped with Pearl’s acclaimed SuperHoop II hoops, STL100 lugs, SR1000 strainer, Coated Remo Ambassador batter head, and Spin-Tight Tension Rods.
To maintain tuning tension across the batter head, all Hybrid Exotic snare drums feature Pearl’s new Spin-Tight Tension Rods. This elegantly simple innovation creates a tension rod-within-a-tension rod, that allows the rod to expand and lock into place within the swivel nut. Utilizing a special drum key, tunings can be controlled under high-impact play like never before. (Patent Pending)

Features
VectorCast Shell
A proprietary composite material filament and resin thread is spun over one hundred times around a mandrel in an X-pattern to create the thin, high-strength cylinder for Pearl's VectorCast shell.
SuperHoop II Hoops
Optimum 2.3mm Triple-Flange hoops made for tuning integrity and maximum shell resonance in play.
SpinTight Tension Rods
This innovative and efficient "tension rod-within-a-tension rod" allows the rod to expand and lock into place within the swivel nut. Utilizing a special drum key, tunings can be controlled under high-impact play like never before. (Patent Pending)
Single STL Lugs
Pearl's lightest and most efficient tuning lug's floating swivel nut reduces hardware friction, contact, and weight while improving tuning and head tension.
Glide-Lock Strainer
(US Patent #7220905, #7301087, #7365256.) Pearl’s SR-1000 Strainer includes a locking throw off lever and separate tension knob that won’t loosen no matter how hard you play. This low-friction technology permits smooth gliding action for ultra quiet, super precise motion.
