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 an 1.2mm spun seamless Aluminum shell for shorter, fat response, and 42-strand Ultra-Sound snares for increased sensitivity. Delivers the ultimate in short, dry snare punch with just the right amount of sizzle to make the backbeat sharp.
