This listing is for a Pearl 14x5” Ultracast 5mm Seamless Aluminum Snare Drum that’s in very very good condition. With the notoriously easy-to-scratch and chip matt paint job on these snare drums, this Ultracast is example of that reputation. There are a few scratches here or there, but nothing that’s too bad to cause distraction, and more importantly, the drum itself plays beautifully, and everything works on this drum flawlessly.
A bright, powerful, and focused tone is exactly what Pearl’s Ultracast aluminum snare drum has in store! Designed with a seamless cast aluminum shell measuring three millimeters at the center and a thicker five millimeters to reinforce the bearing edges, this Ultracast snare drum supplies a phenomenally dry treble response to blast through the bass and midrange of your studio or live mix with ease. Adorned with lightweight SuperHoop II hoops and Pearl’s iconic brass Tube lugs, this snare is a breeze to tune and won’t do a number on your drumsticks. The Ultracast’s 20-strand German tensiled snare wires are ready for rock and metal applications, complemented by a hasty SR-71 Pearl Classic strainer that makes tenoring and resnaring the shell an incredibly smooth process. Take it from drummers everywhere: the Ultracast is a cast metal snare done right!
