Overview

A high-performance marching snare drum built for the road.

The Pearl Finalist 14" FBX marching snare drum delivers robust tone and reliable performance ideal for drumlines and drum corps. With its lightweight 6-ply birch shell reinforced with maple, the FBX projects clearly even in large ensemble settings while providing the focused attack needed to drive cadences. The snare comes equipped with Pearl's innovative NanoTouch strainer, allowing you to disengage the snare wires from the bottom head with the flick of a lever. This parallel action system ensures easy adjustments and optimal snare response. Die-cast aluminum hoops keep heads seated tightly during aggressive playing. A vaulted edge ring adds durability without weighing down the drum.

Reinforced Shell Design Minimizes Weight

Pearl engineered the Finalist FBX shell with a vaulted edge ring that adds strength while minimizing mass. Strategically cut voids along the interior profile reduce overall weight. This innovative design provides the resilience to withstand heavy playing, while keeping the drum easy to carry. The Finalist's 6-ply birch shell reinforced with maple rings also contributes to its lightweight and focused sound. Birch projects clearly with sharp attack, while the maple reinforcement brings added warmth. Together, they create an impressively lightweight shell that still delivers powerful projection.

Quickly Adjust Snares and Tuning With the NanoTouch Release System

The Finalist FBX marching snare simplifies adjustments with Pearl's innovative NanoTouch snare release. The parallel action design allows you to completely disengage the 16-strand snare wires from the bottom head for quick tuning and maintenance. Attached directly to the shell, the NanoTouch maintains perfect positioning over the snare beds. A single bolt lets you quickly pull the snares on and off with no fuss.

Achieve Optimal Response With the Vaulted Edge Ring

Pearl gave the Finalist FBX their advanced Vaulted edge ring design, similar to their pro-level drums. By cutting voids into the interior profile, Pearl reduced weight while retaining strength and shell resonance. The result is an incredibly responsive marching snare drum that sounds as great as it looks under the lights.

Designed for Use With CX2 AirFrame Carriers

Pearl engineered the Finalist FBX snare drum to be compatible with their CX2 series of AirFrame carriers. The lightweight cast aluminum hardware integrates seamlessly with Pearl's adjustable harness frame system. This makes transporting the drum extremely easy. The CX2 carrier evenly distributes weight across your shoulders and back for comfort. The Finalist FBX is thoughtfully designed to work with Pearl's robust CX2 carriers.

Note: Pearl CXS2 Airframe 2 carriers are sold separately.
