Pearl’s Latest Limited Edition Drum Is All About Sousa…And Then Some.

The newest Pearl Limited Edition PHH1580 Philharmonic Concert Snare Drum is a 15″x8″ African Mahogany shell drum with wood hoops and is sure to be a collectors item that is as beautiful to look at as it is to play. This special production concert snare drum features a 4-ply African Mahogany shell that produces incredible overall tonality with a slight emphasis on low end tone. The 15″x8″ shell size and unique synthetic gut snares produce a true “concert march” sonic quality that would make J.P. Sousa proud, while still providing a “here and now” quality that will translate over to a wider range of song selection. In addition to the 4-ply 15″x8″ shell with full rounded bearing edges, this drum also features 6-ply wood hoops, 8 chrome tube lugs with insulated low profile chrome claw hooks, an SR-500 Triad Strainer system with 2 sets of synthetic gut snares and 1 set of heavy coated cable snares, Remo Diplomat batter and Renaissance snare side heads, and a limited production quantity label on the inside of the drum.
