Pearl Says…“Yielding solid shell tonal snare spike from a bright mix of hardwoods, Pearl’s StaveCraft snare drums are the perfect fusion of old-world workmanship and new-school performance.
Thai Oak: Producing sharp sonic focus and full-bodied volume for the heavy drummer, StaveCraft snares are a startling addition to any pro player’s soundscape. Each 25mm thick shell starts from two layers of meticulously beveled solid Thai Oak wood staves. Using a principal exclusive to these snare drums, an added stave of exotic Makha wood is inserted into the center Dado channel formed by each stave. This “Dado-Loc” joint increases total shell strength by 50%.
The shell is then lathed to a perfectly round 25mm thickness, hand lacquered, and fitted with our Swivel Tube Lugs and MasterCast die-cast counter hoops for added volume and tuning precision.
