Pearl 14"x8" African Mahogany "Free Floater" Snare Drum

Each Pearl Free Floating snare model’s Task-Specific shell recipe is tailored for a unique tonal voice and application. The Mahogany 14×8 drum delivers the ultimate in throaty, deep snare growl with shortened decay.

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 8-ply, 10mm African Mahogany shell for shorter decay and increased volume. Presenting the ultimate in throaty, deep snare growl, the darker nature of its color and grain is apparent in its lower-end tones.
