Pearl CarbonPly Shell
CarbonPly FFX Snare Drum shells have a winning combination that is the most complete sound ever available on the field. A 6-ply African Mahogany shell, full of rich low frequencies, is wrapped with outer layers of a unique Carbon Fiber that provide intense volume and incredible attack. The time tested Mahogany and futuristic Carbon combine into a robust spectrum of frequencies that is totally unique--and totally unlike anything you have encountered.

The FFX Aluminum Frame supports an aluminum alloy edge ring, providing you with a top bearing edge that can take all of the pressure necessary for today’s high tension heads. 2-ply reinforcement rings and a 45 degree bottom bearing edge provide shell stability and shape integrity while focusing the drum’s maximum sensitivity and volume.

SST - Superior Shell TechnologyPearl’s Superior Shell Technology utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl’s proprietary “AcoustiGlue” that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.
