The Philharmonic Brass Snare Drum from Pearl are made with PHB beaded brass shells, delivering the brightest projection in the Philharmonic lineup. Finished in a luxurious, durable black nickel, the 1.5mm thick brass Philharmonics feature the SR505 strainer system, wraparound snares and nickel-plated hardware upgrades to Classic tube lugs, strainer and single flange hoops and claws. Snare head replacement and maintenance is easy thanks to a Quick Release Snare mounting system that maintains your personal snare adjustment settings on each of the three assemblies.
