2021 Pearl FFS Steel Samples

Legendary Free-Floating Shell …

The Free-Floating chassis sets this drum apart from all others. The only thing touching the shell are the drumheads. The throw-off, lugs and other hardware are part of the special edge ring which holds the drum and heads together. The shell is free to speak with its intended voice without being encumbered by shell stress or stability. The stainless steel shell provides a sustained, bright attack with heavy overtones.
