Pearl UCA1450B Ultra Cast Aluminum Snare 5X14

The UltraCast is our exclusive precision-milled, cast aluminum shell snare drum. At 3mm thick, this is one of the thickest metal drums you’ll find. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal, and provides the warm, round, full bodied tone of a wood shell snare. However, it also possesses the crack, volume and projection provided by a metal snare. No other snare drum can offer this perfect compromise between wood and metal. Since UltraCast is a milled cast aluminum shell, its bearing edges are precision-cut and perfect every time. This provides ease of tuning and perfect head seating around the entire circumference of the drum.
