The Sound Focused Drummer Has a New Heirloom Snare Drum with Pearl Music City Solid Ply Snare Drums
At Drum Center of Portsmouth, the most important part of a Snare Drum is the Sound. There seems to be a bunch of boutique snare drums that are aimed at the collector's market and not the player's market. It's great that these markets are served, but what gets us excited is a drum that you are going to make music with and feel inspired by. Let's face it, looks matter too, and the new Pearl Music City Custom Solid Snare Drums are delivering heirloom sound and heirloom looks at a Non-Heirloom price. Sure, these are expensive, but that's what steam bent one piece shells from a major manufacturer backed with a lifetime warranty costs.
This one-of-a-kind Music City Custom Solid Shell Snare Drum features an 8mm single-ply Walnut shell, Pearl's single STL swivel lugs, Stainless Steel tuning rods, and SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops. A uniquely refined, American-made percussion instrument, each Music City Custom Solid snare is honed by a singular artisan from a steam-treated plank of premium North American lumber. Shaped using an old-world crafting technique derived from ship-building, the shell is hand-milled to a smooth, uniform 8mm thickness and combined with Solid Maple reinforcement rings. CNC drilled, hand-finished and assembled at Pearl's Music City Custom Shop in Nashville, TN., the distinctive tonal nature of this unique percussion instrument makes it a true an investment in the ultimate drumming voice.
