Pearl snare drum for a focused musical application
The Pearl FTMM1450 Free Floating Task Specific Snare Drum was developed around one clear idea: choosing a specific sound for each musical situation. Within this updated Free Floating series, the differences in shell type, size, weight, material, thickness and application are used to create a more targeted match for your own sound and timing.
With its 14” x 5” size, this snare drum offers a classic format that fits easily into many setups. The #321 Satin Maple finish matches the wooden shell, which is finished in a matte lacquer exclusive to Pearl for this series.
Construction of the Pearl FTMM1450
The shell of the Pearl FTMM1450 is made from 6-ply 7.5 mm maple. It also features Die-Cast hoops, free floating lugs, chrome hardware and a Remo Coated Ambassador batter head. The FT-50 lugs, 10 rods and SST-5042 tension bolts are part of this configuration.
For snare adjustment, Pearl uses the SR-160F strainer with Click-Lock system. This locks the lever together with a small adjustment screw, so the setting does not come loose while playing and stays where you set it. The snare wires are the SN-1420I.
Free Floating snare drum with practical control
With a snare drum like this, not only the size or material matters, but also how stable everything remains in use. The combination of the SR-160F strainer and Click-Lock system makes the Pearl FTMM1450 appealing to drummers who want to keep a fixed setting during rehearsals or on stage.
If you are looking for a Pearl snare drum with a maple shell, 14 x 5 size and Free Floating construction, this is a clear option within the Task Specific series. At Magna Music in Roosendaal, you can also get personal advice from musicians who know how important that kind of focused setup is in practice.
