Metal Snares

In celebration three-quarters of a century of iconic drumming sounds and sciences, Pearl presents Duoluxe: a modern take on the legendary, "inter-planetary" snare drum sound. Learn More

Just as each player has an individual voice, shell materials -particularly on snare drums- react differently to the drummer's unique approach. This is why Pearl's Free Floating snares have been custom-tailored to fit a specific task by model.

Pearl's revolutionary die-cast Free Floating chassis allows each shell to speak with a voice that is uninhibited by shell hardware, for true tonal purity. Individually chosen by size, shell type, and application, each drum is true to the Free Floating concept, and gives the player an unrestrained voice within the tonal spectrum.

Features an extra-thin brushed 1mm shell for bright, open attack with ringy overtone.

Innovative…. Timeless….. Legendary…… these words not only describe this incredible player but the drum that bears his name. Pearl is proud to announce the result of our collaboration with one of rock’s most celebrated drummers…. The Ian Paice Signature Snare Drum. You can’t help but be familiar with the drummer who helped propel Deep Purple into Rock and Roll history with such hits as Space Trucking, Hush, and Smoke On The Water. This 14" x 6.5" Chrome Plated SensiTone shell features Stainless Steel Tension Rods and SuperHoop II rims. Stop-locks on the tension rods give you the satisfaction of knowing that your tuning will stay precise and accurate as you explore the drum’s sonic range.
