Key Features
The Pearl HEP1465 Hybrid Exotic VectorCast snare is the pinnacle of Pearl's snare design. Pearl's engineers have spent countless hours experimenting with groundbreaking shell concepts, and the result is described as 'sonic perfection for true professionals'. The revolutionary VectorCast shell begins as a single strand of resin, which is spun out in X-shapes to form one of the most flexible shells yet, full of lively and fat tones. Hybrid Exotic snares also feature the new Spin-Tight tension rods, which take tension rod tuning stability under stress to a whole new level.

Pearl's new VectorCast shell is formed around a mandrel in an X-pattern, creating a thin, high-strength shell that "flexes" with each strike. Its characteristic sound is both lively and fat, and is a vast departure from other synthetics like Acrylic or Carbon Fiber.
Each Hybrid Exotic drum is 14" in width, and is offered in both a 5" and 6.5" depth, as well as a 8" depth for Kapur/Fiberglass shells. All Hybrid Exotic Snare Drums are equipped with Pearl's acclaimed SuperHoop II hoops, STL-100 lugs, SR-1000 strainer, Coated Ambassador batter head, and chrome hardware.
To maintain tuning tension across the batter head, all Hybrid Exotic snare drums feature Pearl's new Spin-Tight Tension Rods. The elegantly simple innovation creates a tension rod within a tension rod, that allows the rod to expand and lock into place within the swivel nut. Utilizing a special drum key, tunings can be controlled under high impact playing like never before.
