Pearl President Series Deluxe 5.5x14 Snare Drum in #767 Ocean Ripple
Here we have a beautiful Pearl President Series Deluxe Snare Drum !
Culled from the very origins of The World's Largest Drum Company for a traditionally full, controlled playing experience.
Like driving a classic car with a supercharged engine, Pearl's President Series Deluxe plays like a vintage drum without the shortcomings of yesterday's fittings. Their original "Battleship" lug has been recast and features an adjustable tone muffler, allowing sonic variety from subdued to bombastic. In addition, the elegant identity of Pearl's original script badge and the swirling flash of Pearls Ocean Ripple finish.
Drawing from the very origins of Pearl's drum manufacturing history, Lauan was the source of the original "MIJ" (Made in Japan) sound. This darker-toned medium/hardwood was the basis of thousands of shells made by Mitsuo Yanagisawa in Pearl's Chiba, Japan-based drum factory starting in 1961. Loud yet subdued, Lauan has a deep, punchy wallop with plenty of top-end attack.
The same shell material, lug combination, and bearing edge have been put into play to give you a sound that is grounded and sharp, but full of low-range overtone when played without dampening. Tempered using the internal shell muffler, the short, pillowy sound of every great AM Radio classic floods your senses.
