PEARL Stavecraft Thai Oak Snare Drum (Available in 2 sizes)
A solid inch of dowel-joined Thai oak (parawood) gives this Pearl StaveCraft snare a body, focus, and output that rival its exotic looks and exceptional strength. The secret lies in a Pearl's exclusive Dado-Loc technology. For this process, Pearl starts with two levels of painstakingly beveled Thai oak wood staves: a renewable tropical hardwood chosen for its mature tone and maple-like grain character. The staves are channeled and bonded together using custom tenons of russet-colored makha wood. Not only does this process give the StaveCraft's shell interior a handsome dappled look — a feat that can be seen clearly through its Remo USA CS Black Dot clear batter head — but it enhances the overall strength of the shell by as much as 50%. The result is a snare that whispers and screams as if bored out from a single piece of material. The bonded shell is then lathed down to a precise 25mm (that's nearly a full inch thick!) and crowned with pinpoint edges and A1 snare beds for unbelievable tone and expression. Pearl StaveCraft Thai Oak snare's Masterworks-grade hardware appointments are just as impressive as its impeccable shell construction. Die-cast MasterCast hoops, low-contact STL Swivel Tube Lugs, and a Gladstone-style SR-150 throw off unite to give the StaveCraft Thai Oak snare a look and play that beg to be experienced firsthand.
