This Pearl export steel shell snare drum is the harder to find 6.5" deep model. The shell is in excellent condition - super-shiny chrome with no rust and just a few very minor scratches. The snare throw works just fine. There is one wire missing from the snares, but this has no effect on the great big sound produced by this drum. The hoops have a few small rim chips to the chrome finish. The drum has a brand new top head and an older but still good Remo snare side. These drums were made in Pearl's Taiwan factory on the 1980's and are some of the best built budget snare drums available, so you won't be disappointed.
