Pearl's Philharmonic Series Snare Drums are their top-line concert snare drums, designed for peak performance in orchestral and symphonic band performance, and designed for sensitivity, precision, consistency, and clarity.
Solid Maple Concert Snare Drums are somewhat unique among drum shells, in that they are crafted from a single, carefully hand-formed ply of 7.5mm of pure maple! This is a challenging and expensive manufacturing process, but the results are undeniable: this drum has a level of attack, response, dynamic range, and color that makes it hard to go back to regular ply shells once you've played one.
This drum feature MasterCast Die-Cast counter hoops, which control overtones and offer supreme reliability against warping, even over long periods of time. Stainless steel tension rods help guarantee your tuning won't slip during performance.
The snare wires on this drum feature three distinct types of cables, each individually adjustable to dial in exactly the sound you want, and able to be tightened or loosed quickly via one master adjustment knob as well. This adds a tremendous amount of flexibility to the drum, and to your sound.
