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.

Features
6-ply, 7mm Maple/Mahogany Shell
Features four outer plies of North American Maple and two inner plies of African Mahogany. An equal measure of power and tonal body, the shell draws on the physical properties of both woods for lower-pitch frequencies and balanced attack.
Mastercast Die-Cast Hoops
For superior strength, rigid tuning stability, and added volume and attack (shown on the FTAL1480.)
Click-Lock Strainer
(US Patent #9082376) The revolutionary SR-160F features an inner "C"-shaped nylon clip that attaches the throw off arm to the tension dial, preventing the lever from disengaging and the tension dial from loosening, even when the tension is very low.
Free-Floating Chassis
Pearl's revolutionary snare system suspends the shell in a die-cast chassis with only the batter head contacting the edge; allowing uninhibited tonal body, resonance, and volume.
Task-Specific Sound and Performance
One of eight Task-Specific snare models, each one offers a unique voice engineered to fit a specific task by size and shell density for any sonic situation.
