Pearl VG1450 14x5 Maple/Birch Shell Virgil Donati Signature Snare Drum

Pearl announces the new Virgil Donati snare drum. Virgil's hands on approach in the design process helped yield a spectacular new drum. The 14"x5" shell features 4 outer plies of 100% maple over 4 inner plies of 100% birch. This 8 ply shell produces a super bright tone accentuated even more by the 4 inner plies of birch. With a rounded top bearing edge many drummers will find they they can play this drum wide open without any muffling. Virgil selected the snare bed used on Pearl's Philharmonic snares which provided a totally flat bed within the width of the snares for ultimate response. The drum's impressive styling is capped with die-cast chrome hoops and a smoke flake finish.
