Pearl Championship Maple Varsity FFX Marching Snare Drum Burst Finish 14 x 12 in. Purple Silver #975

Description

Used by today´s top DCI corps, Pearl FFX Championship Series snare drums have won more than their share of High Percussion Awards. The combination of six plies of 100% maple free-floating in a super lightweight aircraft aluminum frame creates a force to be reckoned with.

The Championship Maple Snare shell´s natural balance of mid-to-high frequencies brings the FFX the voice that set an industry standard and changed the face of corps competition. Pearl´ Superior Shell Technology is used to make a 6-ply, free-floating shell out of maple, the drum industry´ premium for dynamic range, sensitivity, and unsurpassed projection. Because of the maple shell´ strength and reliability, your corps or band can compete in all climate conditions.

The FFX Aluminum Frame supports an aluminum-alloy edge ring, providing you with a top bearing edge that can take all of the pressure necessary for today´s high tension heads. Two-ply reinforcement rings and a 45-degree bottom bearing edge provide shell stability and shape integrity while focusing the drum´ maximum sensitivity and volume.

Pearl´ Superior Shell Technology utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl´s proprietary AcoustiGlue that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.
