Pearl Duoluxe 14x5 Snare Drum - Brass

Featuring our signature dual inverted shell beads, the Duoluxe utilises the chrome-over-brass alloy shell from our classic Jupiter snare, enhanced with two bands of Nicotine White Marine Pearl finish. This combination not only creates a unique appearance but also adds tonal control to its vibrant sound. Equipped with Pearl's Ludwig's Battleship lugs, a smooth SR017 strainer, and sturdy 2.3mm SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops, this snare delivers a classic elegance. Experience the dynamic new look while enjoying the exceptional sound that defines the Jupiter series. Features The Jupiter Sound Comeback First introduced in 1974, Pearl's Jupiter snare drum rapidly gained popularity among drummers due to its immaculate Chrome-Over-Brass shell, three-bead design, and Parallel Action Strainer, which provided exceptional sensitivity. Over the years, models evolved, featuring variations in the number of inner shell beads and offering both Parallel Action and Standard Strainers, yet they all maintained a vibrant, impressive sound. The sought-after, well-rounded midrange snare tone of Black Nickel Over Brass drums is present here, but with a slightly elevated fundamental pitch. Nicotine White Marine Pearl Shell Inlays Another Pearl innovation, the Duoluxe features the only inlaid metal shell in the snare drum industry. Our signature inverted two-bead shell design, celebrated in vintage Jupiter models, is meticulously filled with hand-cut strips of Nicotine White Marine Pearl (#405). This design not only creates a subtly refined shell overtone but also presents a distinctly unique and instantly recognisable appearance. 2.3mm SuperHoop II Our strong triple-flanged hoop made for tuning integrity and maximum shell resonance in play. SR017 Snare Throw Off This quick, simple strainer delivers effortless switching and optimum sensitivity control. Ultra-Sound Snare Wires Ultra-Sound Wires feature a unique 6mm Phosphor Bronze mounting plate with three different mounting options (Channel Chord Receivers, Standard Chord Receivers, and Strap Receiver,) and I-Type Graduated Tension Mounting for even tension in general purpose applications.
