This listing is for a Pearl Master’s 14x5.5” Studio Birch Snare Drum in Vintage Sunburst Fade. This drum is is spotless condition with out the slightest flaw. It works perfectly.
Now here’s the thing…although the drum claims to be a Pearl Master’s Studio snare, it would appear to us as though it’s closer to a Mapex Saturn Snare Drum based on the lug type, and ply appearance. The Master’s Studio is 6-plies of birch, while the Mapex Saturn is a 5-ply Maple/Walnut/Maple/Walnut/Maple shell.
Either way, the drum is 20-lugs of the most gorgeous tone, attack, and projection a wooden snare drum can provide. It features 2.3mm Slingerland Style “Stick-Saver” hoops, brand new Evans heads, and a Pearl SR-71 Style throw off.
Edges on the drum are perfect.
