Pearl Masterworks Snare Drum 14×8 Free Floating – Gold Swirl on Black Carbon [Ikebe Musical Instruments 50th Anniversary Model]

Gold Swirl on Black Carbon
A golden swirl writhes freely across the surface of the black carbon cloth, which has been woven with precision to the last detail.
Introducing the Master Works snare drum, the pinnacle of Pearl drums!

As Ikebe Musical Instruments celebrates its 50th anniversary,
We offered a special drum set to Pearl Musical Instruments, our long-time partner and a leading manufacturer of drums in Japan.
See this original, pinnacle of cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship, arrived at through repeated exchanges!

The basic shell used is a 6-ply Maple/Gum shell, which is highly regarded by Pearl.
The outer ply is made of carbon fiber and then topped off with a gold swirl finish.
A hybrid finish is achieved that combines geometric patterns with random nuances created by handwork.

The inner shell is laminated with Pearl Drums’ classic fiberglass, achieving a standard yet innovative sound.
From the past to the present…a historic instrument that symbolizes the friendship between Ikebe Musical Instruments and Pearl Drums.
It is no exaggeration to say that we have now achieved the ultimate form of the snare drum.

And when it comes to Pearl snare drums, they feature a free-floating system!
The latest specification of Pearl’s original system that maximizes sound characteristics by not drilling any holes in the shell!
The parts are black, giving it a bold look.
