[Pearl's signature solid maple shell and free-floating system! A used, 1990s, free-floating, one-piece maple piccolo snare drum, manufactured in Japan, is now in stock!] -Free Floating System Snare Drums- The "Free Floating System" sandwiches the shell, which has no metal parts whatsoever, between the head and the aluminum chassis below, and supports it with lug posts. This revolutionary approach makes full use of the shell's resonance and brings out the natural tone of the material, and it has been Pearl's best-selling model for over 40 years since its introduction. The die-cast hoop provides a crisp, tight stick sound, and the full-surface snappy design provides quick response and a wide dynamic range. -CL-8114P One-Piece Maple Shell- The solid maple wood (7.5mm thick) is processed using a special technique to create a highly round shell. By installing this solid maple in a "free-floating system," it is freed from any other parts, maximizing the resonance of the shell. The shell's characteristics provide a quick response, and the natural grain of the wood is apparent. It has a bright, warm tone and a gentle touch that blends naturally into the ensemble.
