**ULTRA RARE** Pearl Masters Studio Birch Shell 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum 10 Lug Ebony Black Mist Reinforcement Rings Made in Taiwan (Early 1990's Pre BRX)
This is an EXTREMELY rare snare that doesn't come up for sale often, especially in NEAR MINT condition!
Not to be confused with a standard Pearl Masters, this is an early 1990's all birch 4 ply (5mm) shell with 4 ply (5mm) reinforcement rings!
- 14" x 5.5" 100% all birch
- SR-020 Throw off
- SR12e Butt plate
- CL55 Lugs (10) 1st generation
- 45° bearing edges
- Remo Controlled Sound Clear Batter Head
- Remo Diplomat Snare Side Head
- Puresound 20 Strand Snare Wires (Copper ends)
- 2.3mm Masters Stainless Hoops - Triple Flanged (early 90's Masters used these before Pearl created the MasterCast diecast hoops in the late 90's)
- #122 Black Mist color (see last pic for close up of wood grain)
The thin birch shell has a very warm, resonate sound that's controlled by the re-rings. Super sensitive and articulate. Pearl only made these thin shells for a few years and then made the thicker 6ply (BRX) shells that did not have reinforced hoops. Those BRX are great snares, but this one is harder to find and brings a new dynamic sound to your snare arsenal. It's perfect for recording but holds it's own on stage as well.
