The Pearl HEAL-1450 Cast Aluminium is a 14" x 5" Snare Drum, with a 3mm Seamless Aluminium Shell. 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.
Aluminium SnareDrum: The Die Cast Aluminium snare drum has 3mm thick aluminium shell and is hardened, giving it a character similar to wood with cutting metal sounds. 5mm thick reinforcement rings give the shell additional hold, a very sensitive address and a wide dynamic range from quiet to very loud. The premium black finish is protected by a special surface treatment and polishing.
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.
