Detail 01
Single-ply steam-bent maple shell, 8 mm
The shell uses one steam-treated maple plank rather than a multi-ply construction.

Independent shopping perspective
Built in Nashville as part of Pearl’s Music City Custom series, this 14 x 6.5-inch snare centers on an 8 mm, single-ply steam-bent maple shell with 6 mm maple reinforcement rings. The 45-degree edges are made for consistent head seating, while SuperHoop II hoops, single swivel lugs and the SR017 throw-off handle tuning and snare engagement. Its reclaimed Belle Meade bourbon-barrel oak inlay gives each limited-production drum a distinct grain and color pattern.
