Pearl HEP1465, 14x6.5inch Hybrid Exotic VectorCast Snare Drum

Pearl proudly presents the result of experiments combing new materials and technology in an impressive manner to create interesting instruments:The Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums: Three different versions in conventional sizes 14"x6.5", 14"x5.5" and 14"x8" make up this brand new series which is sure to send shock waves through the world of snare drums.

Vectorcast SnareDrum: The Vectorcast snare drum shell thickness measures in at only 3mm, extremely thin, a result of the unique production of these exquisite drums. The Vectorcast snares are made from a plastic-resin- yarn, through a process often used in aerospace industries it is turned into a stabile ring with a solid structure. This produces solid, resonance rich shells with impressive sound characteristics. Similarly to the construction and nature of wood, the Vectorcast shells can deform and then return to the original shape with every strike. This gives the Vectorcast snare next to its especially saturated and lively sound an unprecedented natural play feeling.

High-End Shell Hardware: The hardware of the Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums includes the popular Pearl Elements that bring the ideal sound results from their shells. Super Hoop II, STL-100 lugs, SR-1000 throw-off, everything in chrome, adorn the dark shell matching the look to the sound. The lugs of the Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums feature something special. Housed inside each of them is another lug. Similarly to a conventional dowel, this lug holds the screw together with the head and hoop in place without compromise giving the drum absolute tuning stability.
