Massive Snare Drum Collection - 121 and Counting....
Pearl MUS1410FM220 14x10 Modern Utility Floor Snare in Satin Brown Finis
This drum was added to the Modern Utility Series in 2019. It has a 6-ply (5.4mm) maple shell with RH1408 hoops, CL100 lugs, FTL07RC brackets, and LG40 legs with R40 suspension feet. While all other Modern Utility drums come with SR700 throw off, this drum comes with the SR017 throw off although it comes with the butt that matches the SR700.
Yes, this inspired me to add a couple of "floor snares" to my latest Masterworks order.

This drum preceded the Artisan II lacquer finishes in the MCX series that did not have exotic veneers but were painted to look like they did. The hardware includes Mastercast Hoops, CL65 lugs, and SR017 throw off.

Pearl FTBB1435320 14x3.5 4th Generation Birch Free-Floating Snare Drum in Satin Birch Finish
This was released in 2014 with the 4th generation of Free-Floating snare drums. It has a 6-ply (5.4mm) all birch shell. This is the only free-floating snare drum to use EvenPly (.9mm) plies, rather than the Pearl's standard 1.25mm plies. Along with the free-floating chasis, this drum has FT35 lugs, MasterCast hoops, and SR160F Click-Lock throw off.
Pearl M1270128 12x7 Soprano Snare Drum in Vintage Sunburst Finish
Pearl M1270128 12x7 Soprano Snare Drum in Vintage Sunburst Finish
In 1996 this drum changed to CL100 lugs. The stock option has always been Liquid Amber finish. This drum was special ordered, along with many other Pearl Effects snares I have, in Vintage Sunburst Finish. The only change of significance was in 2002 when the throw off went from SR012 to SR018. This drum has the current SR018 throw off along with RIM1208 hoops and CL100 lugs. The shell is 8-ply (10mm) Maple.

how does this sound? i was interested in picking one of these up, but there isn't much info or test videos out there to hear it
I've tapped around on it a little, but I haven't played it on a set yet. My first impression is that it's a little unwieldy but fun. It comes with an O-Ring, which was probably a good decision. I haven't spent enough time tuning to dial it in exactly where I want it. Pearl Europe has a video showing it off a bit.

The Steve Ferrone signature snare drum was available from 1999-2005. The shell is black nickel-plated brass. It has gold SuperHoops and a unique version of the TB65 tube lugs with gold posts and chrome tubes. Similarly the SR017 throw-off is mostly chrome but with gold tension knob and screws.
By far, the best looking drum Pearl’s ever made!
(and they’re made quite a few...)
😃👍
ADman2B! Long time no see. I hope you're feeling well.
Doing fine! I haven't added to this thread in about 6 months. I hit a really busy time at work and didn't have enough free time for cataloging drums. Then when time freed up, I was out of the groove. I'm going to try to get the rest of these drums posted. Only a couple dozen snares to go until I'm caught up!
