Pearl FTBR1450 14"x5" Free Floater Brass Snare Drum. Just as each player has an individual voice, shell materials particularly on snare drums react differently to the drummer's touch depending on type and weight. This is why the latest Free Floating snare additions have been custom-tailored to fit a specific task by model. Individually chosen by size and shell type, each drum features die-cast hoops, is true to the Free Floating concept, and gives the player a unique voice within the tonal spectrum.
