Pearl Music City Custom Solid Maple Snare Drum - 14 x 5 inch - Natural
5" x 14" Ash Snare Drum with 2.3mm Triple-flanged Hoops - Nashville Natural (No Inlay)
Crafted from a Single Piece of Molded Maple
Handcrafted from a single plank of steam-treated North American hard maple, the Music City Custom Solid Shell Maple Snare Drum ushers in a new era of resonance, tonality, and projection for Pearl. Unlike traditional plywood shells, of which even the best designs can suffer tone loss due to glue weight and weak contact between layers, this one-piece shell resonates like a single hunk of wood — because it is. Inner 1/4" top and bottom maple reinforcing rings impart structural strength and supply a studio-focused tone. And outside, a breathable hand-rubbed oil finish allows the true beauty of the wood to come through, visually and sonically.
But as we know, it takes more than a great shell to make a great snare. That's why the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare greets you with all the trappings of Music City Custom-series luxury, including hand-shaped 45° bearing edges, SuperHoop II steel hoops, Golden Ratio Air Vents, and low-mass STL swivel lugs. In the market from a snare drum that breaks free from the mold? Look no further than the steam-formed Pearl Music City Custom Solid Shell Maple Snare from Sweetwater.
Single-piece maple shell
The heart of the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare Drum is a steam-treated shell of solid North American hard maple, shaped and trued using an exclusive temperature-controlled molding process. Maple is a top tonewood when it comes to snare construction. And in the Solid Shell Maple Snare Drum, it gives you the power and cut you need to be heard over a band and the sensitivity required for demanding studio applications. Overlapping scarf joints and Pearl's in-house hand milling create a shell that is virtually seamless to the touch. A set of 1/4" maple reinforcing rings add extra strength and dryness to this remarkable snare.
Pinpoint 45° bearing edges
Pearl's hand-formed 45° bearing edges allow the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare Drum's top and bottom heads to speak and project at their full potential.
Hand-rubbed oil finish
A breathable oil finish, hand-applied by Pearl's shell artisans, causes the wood of the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare to virtually glow under direct lighting, such as you'll find onstage or in a studio setting.
A 1/3" molded shell of North American hard maple and a set of 1/4" maple reinforcing rings give the Pearl Music City Solid Shell Maple Snare Drum stage projection and studio response.
Golden Ratio air vent
While many air vents are placed in the center of a shell for cosmetics and production sense, Pearl's Golden Ratio air vent is placed nearer to the bottom head according to the golden ratio of engineering and design. The result, according to Pearl, is greater sustain and a deeper, fuller tone in the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare.
SuperHoop IIs
Pearl's signature 2.3mm steel flanged hoops, Superhoop IIs, give the MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare dependable strength and premium tone. Both top and bottom hoops are engraved for an executive look — but don't let that stop you from laying into it with your heaviest flams, backbeats, and rimshots.
STL swivel lugs
Your MCC Solid Shell Maple Snare comes decked out in Pearl's low-mass STL swivel lugs, which are built lightweight so as not to inhibit the vibrational energy of the shell. They also look like a million bucks, in our opinion.
