DRUM SCENE '84 WHAT'S NEW & WHY
Pearl is making 'free-floating system' snare drums, a revolutionary 'lug-less' drum in which the shell is held fast between two rims by special sleeveless lugs. This means that no lug-sleeves are drilled into the shell, leaving it free to resonate more clearly, which greatly enhances dynamics, response and projection.
