Tarloa Free Floating Aluminum FTAL1480 PEARL

Just as every musician has an individual voice, shell materials, especially those found on snare drums, react differently to a drummer's unique approach. This is why Pearl's Free Floating snares are custom-designed to suit a specific task per model.
Pearl's revolutionary Free Floating die-cast chassis allows each shell to speak with a voice uninhibited by the shell's hardware, for true tonal purity. Individually chosen by size, shell type, and application, each drum is true to the Free Floating concept and gives the drummer an unrestricted voice within the tonal spectrum.
It features a 1.2mm spun seamless aluminum housing for a shorter, thicker response, and 42-strand Ultra-Sound winding for increased sensitivity. It delivers the ultimate in short, dry snare hits with just the right amount of crackle to make the backbeat sound crisp.

• This Pearl Free Floater 14x8" snare drum has everything you expect from a professional snare drum.


• The sleek 1.2mm aluminum housing has a responsive touch and plenty of strong bass.


• Pearl's free-floating system gives the enclosure complete agency to sound unhindered by hardware.


• And a pair of Pearl MasterCast die-cast hoops give this drum a dry, focused, studio-ready attack.


• This product has a 1-year warranty against factory defects.
