Building upon the outstanding legacy of thin shell Masters Custom drums, the Pearl Masters BCX Birch Snare Drum offers projection and attack for the prefect bridge between player and audience. The 6-ply, 100% birch shell produces focused power and tone with great cut, along with a quick resonance. The drum also features Masters hardware including: MasterCast die-cast hoops, SR-017 vertical pull strainer, bridge lugs, steel tension rods with brass swivel nuts and Remo Ambassador heads.
