Pearl 3.5" x 14" Piccolo Maple Snare Drum with Free Floating Heads
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 27 January 2012
One of Pearl's most popular series of snare drums is called "Free-Floating", meaning that the batter and snare hoops are attached to each other with the lugs, but the lugs are not attached to the shell. This increases resonance, giving more body to the sound. The model reviewed here is 3.5" x 14", also known as the "Piccolo". It has a tight "Pop" to the sound, making it ideal for rock, but also, it is extremely sensitive due to the lack of suppression that attached lugs would cause. So, it can be used for jazz as well, with very nice results.

TAMA, like many percussion manufacturers, has a Signature line, and in this case, snare drums which are built according to a well known drummer's specifications. The TAMA Stewart Copeland snare drum is made of 1.5mm thick chrome-plated brass, with 10 lugs, and is 5" high x 14" diameter. It has a die-cast batter rim and flanged snare rim. This thing is made to be wrenched down for a shotgun blast beat, and it gets the job done.
