The Pearl Free Floater 6.5x14" Phosphor Bronze Snare Drum is everything a professional drummer demands—crisp articulation, dynamic sensitivity, and bold projection. Crafted from a 1.2mm phosphor bronze shell—the same alloy used in premium guitar strings—this snare delivers a crunchy top end, rich midrange, and explosive rimshots that punch through any mix.

Pearl’s signature Free-Floating lug system ensures that no hardware touches the shell, allowing it to resonate freely and fully. This not only enhances sustain and tonal clarity but also gives you the option to swap in other compatible Free Floater shells for more versatility.

To complete the build, MasterCast die-cast hoops add a studio-tight attack, and the innovative Click-Lock Throw-Off mechanism keeps snare tension locked in—even under aggressive playing. Whether you're laying down intricate ghost notes or delivering massive backbeats, this snare drum has the dynamic range and tonal character to do it all.
