Pearl’s Free Floating System
Snare Drums have remained among the best selling and most widely
used snare drums, year after year, for well over a decade. The
"Free Floating" concept of removing all hardware from the shell is
an extremely effective way of increasing the amount of coloration
of each shell material to maximize its contribution to the overall
sound of the drum. Pearl’s Free Floating System also allows you the
option to swap shells as easily as changing a batter head. An
aircraft quality aluminum alloy bottom edge ring is machined to
provide perfect seating with the shell and is precision cut to
offer the most stable, sensitive, responsive snare bed imaginable.
All of the drum's hardware is attached to the edge ring, including
the throw-off, allowing the shell to resonate
unrestricted.
For 2005, all Free Floater
System snare drums have been upgraded with our new SR-1000
GlideLock strainer. The GlideLock features a locking lever that
will not disengage no matter how hard you play yet releases easily
with a push of a button. The snare tension knob also locks to
retain snare tension settings. Simply push and turn the knob to
adjust and release to lock. Special low-friction "bearings" and
high precision castings assure smooth, gliding action.
The 2005 Free Floater is also
outfitted with Pearl's new SN-1420I UltraSound even tension snares.
The UltraSound snares feature rust-proof uncoated wires for long
life and outstanding sensitivity.
All Free Floating System Snare
Drums feature marching-style solid steel tension rod receivers for
100% pull-out-proof dependability. Free Floating System Snare Drums
are available in four distinctive shell materials: Copper, Brass,
Steel, and 6 ply 100% aged premium Maple; and in three shell
depths, 3 1/2", 5" or 6 1/2". Copper, Brass, and Maple Free
Floaters feature MasterCast die cast hoops for intense rimshots and
incredible focus. Steel Free Floaters feature 1.6mm steel hoops for
increased upper harmonics and superb sensitivity. All models
(except the FS-1435B/C) feature precision-fit Stainless Steel
tension rods for incredibly smooth and precise tuning.
