Pearl Hybrid Exotic VectorCast 14x5in Snare Overview
Pearl Hybrid Exotic VectorCast 14x5in Snare
Pearl is proud to introduce their line of Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums, featuring three unique "hybrid" shell compositions to provide a new sonority in the snare drum market.
A single tiny strand can make all the difference in the world. Beginning with a composite material filament and resin thread, Pearl's new VectorCast shell is formed around a mandrel in an X-pattern; creating a thin, high-strength shell that "flexes" with each strike. Its characteristic sound is both lively and fat, and is a vast departure from other synthetics like Acrylic or Carbon Fibre.
Each Hybrid Exotic drum is 14in in width, and is offered in both a 5in and 6.5in depth, as well as a 8in depth for Kapur/Fibreglass shells. All Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums are equipped with Pearl's acclaimed SuperHoop II hoops, STL-100 lugs, SR-1000 strainer, Coated Ambassador batter head, and chrome hardware.
To maintain tuning tension rods across the batter head, all Hybrid Exotic snare drums feature Pearl's new Spin-Tight Tension Rods. The elegantly simple innovation creates a tension rod-within-a-tension rod, that allows the rod to expand and lock into place within the swivel nut. Utilising a special drum key, tunings can be controlled under high-impact playing like never before.
