Pearl snare drum for heavy rock
The Pearl IP1465 Ian Paice Signature Snaredrum is built around a 14 x 6.5 inch format and is clearly aimed at solid rock playing. According to the product information, this snare drum is made to be played loud, with clear overtones and a nicely sharp articulated sound.
That makes this Pearl snare a fitting choice for drummers looking for a direct, pronounced attack in modern heavy rock drumming. At the same time, the model was designed as a collector's item, making it a strong tribute to Ian Paice.
Construction and finish of the IP1465
The shell is a chrome-plated SensiTone steel shell with a beaded steel construction. It also features SuperHoop II 2.3 mm hoops, stainless steel tension rods, chrome-plated brass tube lugs and a total of 10 rods, matching the robust character of this Pearl snare drum.
To help prevent head slippage during heavy playing, special stop-locks are fitted to each tension screw. The chrome finish matches the classic and timeless character associated with this signature model.
More sound control in different situations
A notable detail of the Pearl IP1465 is the classic internal muffler. This lets you create different sounds in a range of musical situations without moving away from the core character of the snare drum.
The drum is further built with TB-65 lugs, SST-5042 tension screws, SR-017 strainer and S-022N snare wires. If you want personal advice on a signature snare drum or want to compare different models, Magna Music can help with staff who are musicians themselves.
