Each drum begins with a thin 1mm copper shell with integrated bearing edges and snare beds. The painted interior and exterior adds just the right amount of control to augment the sonic character of the drum. The finishing touch is a laser engraved round badge logo which exposed the copper beneath. A Lightning Throw-Off™, 42-Strand snare wires, die-cast hoops and Snap-In™ key holder round-out this beauty.

To be truly great, one must evolve over time. Drumming legend Dennis Chambers took this to heart when considering the transformation of his snare drum sound. Dennis designed his new Signature Snare for sonic evolution. Using the multi-lug design of his previous model, it employs 10 tuning points on the batter head and eight on the bottom for top-end tonal focus. Returning to the 4-ply Maple w/4-ply Re-Ring shell of his original Signature model, (this time in a Matte Black lacquer finish for visual versatility,) it features a solid, searing and articulate sound that fits well in any playing field. The real difference comes with its SR-300 Philharmonic Strainer that features three individually tunable 6-strand snappy wire snares. Each can be engaged or disengaged to further sculpt the sound of the drum. Pearl's reliably durable Mastercast Die-Cast Hoops also add weight for increased projection.
