From Pearl Drums

Every handbuilt snare drum in the Pearl Masterworks series boasts vault-grade tonewoods, indulgent finish plies, and top-of-the-line hoops and hardware. This 8" x 14" Masterworks snare combines two plies of balanced North American maple with four plies of dry, cutting birch for power, Carbon fiber inner ply and a pre-EQ'd response under close mics. Plies are set using Pearl's proprietary SST shell molding process, with tonally transparent AcoustiGlue and 1,000 PSI of direct pressure, yielding maximum roundness and resonance. 45-degree bearing edges, 1.6mm triple-flanged Fat Tone hoops, and nickel STL100 swivel lugs complete the package.
