The fabled sound of Pearl's late-'70s COB Jupiter snare drums makes a triumphant return in today's Pearl Duoluxe. This handsome chrome-over-brass snare succeeds in bringing the bright, clean tonal power and fingertip sensitivity of Pearl's original design to a modern stage and session instrument. Just like the original, the Pearl Duoluxe features a 1mm shell of heavily chrome-plated brass, complete with inverted shell beads for added strength and dual bands of inlaid Delmar Aged White Marine Pearl shell wrap for a one-of-a-kind presentation. The Pearl Duoluxe comes outfitted with a set of rigid 2.3mm triple-flanged SuperHoop IIs for an uncompromisingly classic tone. Additional appointments include modified Battleship lugs and a smooth-action SR-017 throw off. You also get a Remo USA Ambassador Smooth White batter head for great sound and feel from the first moment you tune up. From jazz to funk and blues to metal, this snare packs the sound, response, and output to serve endless musical applications.
