$440 · PEARL FREE FLOATING 14 x 5 BRASS SHELL SNARE DRUM

Offered for sale is this Pearl Brass Shell Free Floating snare drum. The size is 5" x 14". The lower frame, lugs, snare strainer and butt end are all as new. The brass shell shows the usual slight signs of minor oxidation, but these are few and very difficult to see, although I have posted photos of the entire drum. The hoops are the original MasterCast models, in like new condition. The original snare wires have been replaced with an upgraded Puresound set, as shown in the final picture. The drum has a Remo Ambassador snare side in excellent condition, and a brand new and unplayed Aquarian Texture Coated batter. This is the current version of this great snare drum line, and your chance to make a huge saving on the new price ($749 plus taxes at L&M). Pearl describes this model: The FTBR1450 14"x5" Free Floater snare drum is made with a 1mm brass shell known for its smooth and even frequency distribution, making it ideal for all-purpose applications whether live or in the studio. All Task-Specific Free Floating Snare Drums are equipped with Die-Cast hoops, free floating lugs, chrome hardware, and Pearl's new SR-160F strainer, featuring Pearl's exclusive Click-Lock system which simultaneously "locks" the snare lever and the tension adjuster to your exact liking. I;m in Nanaimo but will meet a serious buyer north of the Malahat.
