Designed with Pearl’s Superior Shell Technology

Pearl’s proprietary engineering ensures that the FFXM Championship Marching Snare helps deliver the satisfactory performance you require. It’s expertly chosen and milled wood shells feature overlapping scarf joint seams, resulting in an ideally tight air chamber. Their resonance is enhanced with Pearl’s AcoustiGlue ply application, drying to effortlessly match the consistency of the wood shell for exceptional sonic balance. After high-temperature and high-pressure molding, the resulting drum becomes officially armed for superior performance on all tonal, resonant, and projective fronts.

Being 100% maple, you can bet this snare has a balanced tone! Highs and mids are brought out evenly, and thanks to a 4-ply reinforcement ring with 45-degree bearing edges, the FFXM offers a stable and focused sound that just can’t be beaten. Its unrestricted free-floating shell design isn’t inhibited by hardware, keeping resonance and projection at the forefront. The six acoustic vents help to increase this lightweight snare’s volume and sensitivity, simultaneously relieving pressure for a drumstick response that you’ve never experienced.

Smart, strong hardware throughout

Featuring an aluminum alloy frame, there’s no doubt that this snare is snare is tough! The pressures of today’s high-tension tuning standards are no match for the sturdy FFXM. Drummers will also appreciate the seamlessness of the super light OneTouch Snare Strainer, affording players the certified smoothest snare throw-off possible. And tuning is a breeze with a simple hex key, giving you full command of its 16-strand gut assembly.
