Vintage 80s Pearl Export 14x 5.5” Chrome over Steel Snare Drum
I have developed an unfortunate habit of amassing too many snare
drums (not an uncommon crime amongst drummers)! Pressure to free up some house
space coupled with the fact that I can’t find much time to play anymore, means
I have to slim down my collection.
They don’t make
them like they used to :-D
This is the kit
snare from my 1987 Pearl Export Drum Kit. The ‘go to’ steel snare against which
all others from that era were compared. The kit was sold many moons ago but I
kept the snare for nostalgic reasons and cos it has a really thunderous
crack.
This thing is pretty much earthquake proof but appears well used
(because it has been). The chromework has specks of rust on the shell and hoops.
The batter head is filthy and well-marked from a lifetime of grooves. The throw
off works perfectly, pretty much as it did in 1987 albeit with less shine.
Grab a piece of
percussion history with the iconic chrome over steel Pearl Export 14 x 5.5”
snare drum.
We’re always happy for you to collect eBay items if you are
local and you want to save on postage. We will post within 4-5 working days of
payment clearing using Hermes (which changed its name to Evri). This service
usually takes 2 to 3 days for UK addresses.
Please have patience with me regarding delivery time as I work away quite a bit and have to get my son’s assistance with posting. That said, this drum is already packaged up securely ready to send.
