Pearl Introduces Masters Series Symphonic Custom Snare Drums

Maple Shell 5.5" x 14" and 6.5" x 14" Models Available

January 29, 1998 -- For 1998, Pearl has continued to expand their focus into the concert percussion market with the introduction of the new Master Series Symphonic Custom concert snare drums. These new snare drums, designed specifically for the concert hall, are offered in 5.5x14 and 6.5x14 models constructed of Pearl's 6-ply maple heat compression molded shells.

Designed with a vintage look, these drums offer tube lugs, single flange hoops, and are finished with an outstanding Antique Sunburst finish. But, the real finishing touch to make this drum sound like no other drum on the market, is Pearl's new Multi-Timbre snare strainer system. This newly designed strainer features three individually adjustable throw-off levers, tension controls, and butt-side adjustments for each of its three different snare wire materials. Each lever controls either six strands of gut, cable, or wire to offer you almost unlimited sound possibilities. Each one of these drums offers you a wide variety in sound quality and tone, simulating an almost endless array of different snare drums depending on the combination of snares chosen. With all three levels in the on position, you have a snare drum with extreme sensitivity but with an almost endless dynamic range.

To finish the vintage touch and complete the concert sound, these drums are fitted with Remo's new Renaissance batter and snare side drumheads. If you're looking for the ultimate concert snare drum, Pearl has created the drums to fit all your performing needs at a surprisingly affordable price.
