Pearl 14x8 snare drum for a focused setup
The Pearl FTMH1480 Free Floating Task Specific Snaredrum was developed around the idea that every musical situation calls for its own snare. This snare drum measures 14”x8” and pairs that format with an 8-ply, 10 mm African mahogany shell for a clearly defined model within the updated Free Floating series.
As a wooden version, the shell has a matte lacquer finish in #324 Satin Red Mahogany. Die-Cast hoops, free floating lugs and chrome hardware complete the build, while the Remo Coated Ambassador batter head matches the Task Specific concept of this Pearl snare drum.
Free Floating construction and dependable operation
The Pearl FTMH1480 uses FT-80 lugs, 10 rods, SST-5042 tension bolts, an SR-160 strainer and an SN-1420I snare wire. The series description also mentions the special SR-160F strainer with exclusive Click-Lock system, where the lever stays locked together with a small adjustment screw so it does not come loose during playing and remains in your chosen setting.
This makes the 14x8 snare an appealing option for drummers who value a specific configuration and stable operation in the rehearsal room or on stage. At Magna Music, you can also get advice from people who play themselves and can help you choose the right snare drum for your setup.
Finish and details of the Pearl FTMH1480
The Satin Red Mahogany finish gives this Pearl Free Floating snare drum a distinctive look. The combination of chrome hardware, matte-lacquered wooden shell and Free Floating design fits the updated Task Specific series, where size, material and application are deliberately matched.
With the Pearl FTMH1480, you choose a snare drum that is not designed as a general-purpose model, but as a focused choice for a specific musical situation.
