The FTSS1435 is a 1mm thick stainless steel piccolo snare with a bright attack and plenty of sweet overtones. If you seek to be heard, you'll love how much cut and penetration you get from this precise weapon! Pearl's new line of Task-Specific Free Floating Snare Drums are offered in a range of different materials and sizes creating a vast new range of tones which are specific by model. The unique groundbreaking design allows each shell to resonate freely without contact with hardware. Pearl's Task-Specific 14" x 3.5" Piccolo Free Floaters feature 1.2mm Stainless Steel or 6-ply Birch, both known for their brightness, which complement the bright, penetrating sound that drummers typically require from their piccolo snares.
