Pearl announces two new Signature snare collaborations with Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
From master drummer to surfer to celebrity doppelgänger, Chad Smith is a man for all seasons. A loyal Pearl artist for over 20 years, Chad’s Pearl Signature Snare has been a mainstay for drummers around the world since 1994.
Pearl’s latest collaboration with Chad has yielded two new signature snare models, each with its own task-specific tonal voice:
The Chad Smith Limited (CS1450R) Snare’s new Candy Apple Red lacquered finish delivers added tonal control to Chad’s trademark 14”x5” 1.3mm steel shell snare. “This is a drum for any occasion,” says Chad. “The classic Chad drum is getting a facelift!” Available only for a short time at the special suggested ‘Street’ price of €359,00, Chad’s new Limited snare is a drum that takes recording ‘in the Red’ seriously.
Pearl is proud to introduce the Chad Smith Signature Tricolon Free-floating Snare Drum. The new Chad Smith Tricolon Free-Floater snare drum is the crowning achievement in true percussive perfection, taking its name from the Latin phrase meaning “three equal parts”.
The drum features three interchangeable 3mm rolled shell rings housed in Pearl’s Free Floating snare frame; two of brass, one of steel. This allows for multiple tonal combinations when stacked in different orders and total resonant freedom from attachment hardware.
“I came, I saw, I conquered! I’ve finally found MY sound,” Chad proclaims. “Three rings of power! This one does it ALL!” Hurry to pick up this amazing collector’s item as there is a limited quantity of this signature item, with only 50 pieces available in the USA. In Europe there will be only 25pcs available.
