Hybrid Exotic snare drums are Pearl's blend of traditional size drums with exotic shell materials. 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 snares are available in 14"x5" and 14"x6.5" sizes. SensiTone Premium Series drums feature Pearl’s modern ARL Tube Lugs with a bridge-style design for increased shell resonance.

It features a 3mm Brass shell with a one-of-a-kind "Patina-look" finish, giving each drum a unique and individual veneer from drum-to-drum. It’s the first drum in the world to be outfitted with Pearl’s revolutionary Spin-Tight Tension Rods.
