Pearl Hybrid Exotic Kapur/Fiberglass snare drums blend the warmer properties of its 6-ply shell with the bright, controlled frequencies of a thin layer of hand-applied Fiberglass. The resulting shell produces rich, warm stick definition with added crack and projection.

Available in three sizes, Kapur/Fiberglass snares are available in (#308) Ebony Lacquer w/Pearloid Inlay. 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)

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 SR1000 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.
