The Pearl President Deluxe 14″ x 5.5″ Snare Drum is a traditional and controlled snare drum that captures the essence of Pearls unique drum making. This snare is a real throwback using Pearls traditional wood snare components for a truly vintage sound. Even down to the finishing touches an original die-cut script badge and a new ripple covered finish give the President Series Deluxe snare drum a remarkable modern-classic feel. The 14 x 5.5 shell is constructed from 6-ply 7.5mm Lauan shells to provide an immersive response with a traditional and vintage feel. Combined with eight classic Pearl Battleship lugs the Pearl President Deluxe 14″ x 5.5″ Snare Drum offers a solid foundation with consistent and reliable tuning. Each snare is fitted with an adjustable internal muffler allowing you to slightly alter the dampening of the drum to best suit your desired sound.
Traditional Lauan shells Since its introduction in the 60s Lauan has been altered and improved to provide a throwback vintage sound. Lauan comes from the Lauan tree in Southeast Asia and become infamous for making cheap drums with little to no credit. The reality of Lauan however is far from a cheap tonewood. It produces an immersive warm response with a medium-short decay sitting perfectly in the mix. And when paired with other vintage components Lauan shells offer a solid foundation for the rhythm section. Hardware that enhances The SuperHoop IIs triple-flanged design allows the Remo drumhead to vibrate as freely as possible while also providing a great stick surface for rimshots and cross-sticks. But Pearl chose the thicker 2.3mm variety which subtly dampens ringy overtones from the head to focus in on the magic beneath. Likewise the Battleship lugs reduce physical contact with the shell itself minimising any restriction to its movement and maximising its beefy full-bodied sound. The classic SR-017 snare strainer is simplicity itself providing a smooth no-nonsense action and world class control over your snare wire sensitivity. The Pearl President Deluxe snare is just that – the complete package. 45-Degree bearing edges 45-Degree bearing edges are a very common cut. They feature a sharp 1-ply thick edge which peaks close to the outside of the shell. These bearing edges produce more attack and sustain resulting in a generally more-lively modern sound. The added attack and sustain are due to less of the drumhead film being in contact with the shell. Additionally a sharp 45-degree edge also produces considerably more harmonic overtones making the drum sound much brighter. Fit for any stage The unique ocean ripple finish provides a stunning aesthetic that looks great on any stage. If youre looking to stand out on stage aesthetically and sonically then the Pearl President Deluxe Snare Drum is perfect. This shell is also fitted with chrome hardware which looks stunning in combination with the blue ocean ripple shell.
