Pearl Music City Custom Solid Shell Ash: Where Artistry Meets Acoustic Excellence

Introducing the Pearl Music City Custom 14"x6.5" Solid Shell Ash Snare Drum, a stunning fusion of visual elegance and sonic mastery. This exceptional instrument showcases a sophisticated design featuring a Nicotine White Marine Pearl vinyl center strip beautifully framed by exotic Brazilian Kingwood inlays. Each drum is individually crafted by a master artisan in Pearl's Nashville, Tennessee workshop, where time-honored techniques meet modern precision. The process begins with carefully selected premium North American Ash, steam-treated and shaped using traditional ship-building methods that have been perfected over generations.

Every aspect of this extraordinary instrument represents the pinnacle of drum crafting excellence. The shell is precision-milled to a uniform 8mm thickness and enhanced with solid maple reinforcement rings, then expertly CNC-drilled and hand-assembled at Pearl's Music City Custom Shop. The hardware package features Pearl's innovative single STL swivel lugs and stainless steel tuning rods working in harmony with SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops. This sophisticated combination delivers exceptional tuning stability while allowing the solid shell to vibrate freely, producing powerful projection that "belts to the cheap seats" while maintaining precise articulation and a controlled decay.

• Artisanal Shell Construction: The 8mm solid North American Ash shell is complemented by 6mm reinforcement rings, creating the perfect foundation for powerful mid-to-high range punch with sustained, musical decay. The elegant combination of Nicotine White Marine Pearl vinyl and Brazilian Kingwood inlays adds both visual sophistication and tonal complexity to this mastercraft drum.
• Professional Hardware Integration: Features Pearl's innovative single STL swivel lugs and stainless steel tuning rods, providing precise tuning stability while minimizing shell contact points. The SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops ensure consistent head seating and focused sound projection.
• Traditional Craftsmanship: Each shell is individually shaped using time-tested ship-building techniques, then precision-milled and hand-finished to exact specifications. This old-world approach to drum making results in an instrument of exceptional character and unmatched tonal qualities.
• Lifetime Investment: Backed by Pearl's comprehensive lifetime warranty, this hand-crafted masterpiece is built to be an heirloom instrument. The hand-rubbed Nashville Natural Ash finish with its distinctive inlay work showcases the natural beauty of the premium materials while providing lasting protection.
