Pearl Music City Custom Solid Shell Ash: Artisanal Craftsmanship Meets Timeless Design

Experience the pinnacle of drum-making artistry with the Pearl Music City Custom 14"x5" Solid Shell Ash Snare Drum, featuring an elegant Nicotine Marine Pearl inlay. Each drum is individually crafted by a master artisan in Pearl's Nashville, Tennessee workshop, where traditional techniques meet modern precision. The journey begins with carefully selected premium North American Ash, steam-treated and shaped using time-honored ship-building methods that have been perfected across generations. This meticulous process creates a drum shell of exceptional character and strength, precision-milled to a uniform 8mm thickness and enhanced with solid maple reinforcement rings.

Every detail of this extraordinary instrument reflects Pearl's dedication to excellence. The shell is expertly CNC-drilled and hand-assembled at Pearl's Music City Custom Shop, featuring Pearl's innovative single STL swivel lugs and stainless steel tuning rods working in concert 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. The center strip of Nicotine White Marine Pearl vinyl wrap adds a striking visual element that complements the hand-rubbed Nashville Natural finish.

• Artisanal Shell Construction: The 8mm solid North American Ash shell is complemented by 6mm reinforcement rings, creating a perfect foundation for powerful mid-to-high range punch with sustained, musical decay. The distinctive Nicotine Marine Pearl inlay adds both visual sophistication and character 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 finish with distinctive Marine Pearl inlay showcases the natural beauty of the premium materials while providing lasting protection.
