Championship FFX1410 ArticuLite Snare Drum

Pearl is proud to announce the redesign of the Championship ArticuLite Series Snare Drum. The FFX1410/A was designed to meet the complicated tonal challenges and sonic requirements needed for today’s highly competitive indoor and outdoor ensembles. The FFX1410 offers a tight focus, articulation with a crisp response while still providing the warmth of the standard Championship Series.

6 Ply Maple Shells for Strength, Projection and Richness of Sound
Smaller Shell Depth Provides Extreme Focus with Minimal Overtone
Light Weight Provides Increased Mobility
Aluminum Alloy Edge Ring and Rims
Includes Same High Durability Hardware Strainer as the Standard FFX Series
100% Maple SST Shell Technology

Another Great Addition to the ArticuLite Seriers is the PSMT ArticuLite Tenors

PSMT ArticuLite Tenors

ArticuLite Marching Toms are designed to compliment the FFX1410 Snare Drums. The shallow shell design provides tight focus, articulation, and crisp response while reducing the overall mass for fast moving high energy performance. Maple shells deliver rich, robust sound while the rounded bearing edges deliver that distinctive Pearl sound. Redesigned case-hardened aluminum tension casings offer improved tuning accuracy and even dispersion of tension while 6 mm case hardened tension bolts permit the highest tensioning without failure. Available in 6 packaged sets.
