Designed in collaboration with the legendary Ian Paice of Deep Purple, this Pearl Signature Series snare features a chrome-over-steel shell that delivers incredible projection, crisp articulation, and a sharp, cutting attack – perfect for rock, metal, or any style that demands serious presence.
A standout feature of this model is the locking tension rod system, which includes small knurled locking wheels on each tension rod to prevent de-tuning during playing – ideal for heavy hitters and touring drummers who need consistent tuning night after night.
Condition: Excellent overall. The shell, hardware, throw-off, and hoops are all clean and fully functional. The batter head is quite worn and could do with replacing, though I may be able to include a second-hand head in better condition if needed. Aside from that, this is a superb example of a powerful and reliable snare.
