Honed by a singular artisan with time-honored precision, Pearl's Music City Custom Solid Shell Snare Drums are uniquely refined, American-made percussion instruments. Beginning with a steam-treated plank of premium North American Cherry, each Music City Custom solid shell is shaped using an old-world crafting technique derived from ship-building. Hand-milled to a smooth, uniform 8mm thickness and combined with Solid Maple reinforcement rings, each shell is CNC drilled, hand-finished, and assembled at Pearl's Music City Custom Shop in Nashville, TN. Pearl's single STL swivel lugs, Stainless Steel tuning rods, a center strip of inlaid Nicotine White Marine Pearl vinyl wrap, and SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops complete the drum; making it a one-of-a kind percussion investment in the ultimate drumming voice.
