Pearl - FFXPMD1412-122 Pipe Band Championship Medalist Black Mist 14" x 12"

The Pearl FFXPMD1412-122 snare drum rests on a free-floating body made from 100% 4-ply birch with 2 reinforcement plies. This 5 mm thickness allows the wood to vibrate freely and improves sound projection. Because Pearl has thought of every detail to reduce weight, you're carrying a snare drum that's lighter than many competing models, making long days of competition easier.

The 2 air vents around the drumhead relieve internal pressure and improve response when you hit the Remo USA CS Black Dot clear head. MasterCast moulded aluminium alloy hoops provide rigid support for the reinforced claws and help the tuning to remain stable from repeat to repeat. Superior Shell Technology with AcoustiGlue forms a tight air chamber and promotes even resonance.

You can tension the cast zinc male bars without fear of breakage, even with the modern high-tension requirements of pipe bands. The 28-strand chrome men's lugs are easy to adjust with a standard spanner, allowing you to tailor the sensitivity to your playing style. The STL Swivel Tube lugs make little contact with the barrel, allowing the wood to vibrate freely and promoting natural projection.

This snare drum is compatible with the CX Air Frame and MX T-Frame harnesses, giving you the choice of carrying position to suit your comfort. Combined with the maple tenors and basses in your line, it enhances the overall colour of the pipe band drums. It's a reliable companion wherever you go, whether rehearsing, marching or competing.
