Just in time for Christmas!

I am selling my custom 14"x12" Pearl FFXC Marching Snare Drum in Emerald Mist lacquer finish with chrome hardware. This drum has been in my personal collection since I bought it in 2009. For those of you playing along with the home game, yes this is the same finish the Santa Clara Vanguard had in 2009. In fact, this drum was a part of the original shipment to SCV but was returned unused as the corps did not need it so I was able to acquire the drum direct from Pearl in Nashville, TN.

The Emerald Mist green lacquer finish is beautiful and is in perfect condition. I have kept the drum wrapped in a Pearl drum cover (included) except for performances and remains in a case (not included) when not used. The chrome hardware is in great condition with only a few minor issues. As I've tried to show in pictures, a little of the chrome is chipped on one of the down tubes and the bottom rim is nicked up where it looks like someone at SCV was a little rough when trying to adjust or remove the snare guards. It was like that when I received the drum.

This is an FFXC model where the inner ply of the shell is carbon-ply which gives the drum a little extra "snappiness" allowing the sound to cut really well while maintaining a nice, warm sound. All 14 original guts still on the drum. There is no carrier mounting hardware on this drum as it has never been marched. It should be noted the stand in the picture is NOT included with this auction. Only the drum, cover and original box is included. The heads on the drum are an Evans Grey Hybrid batter and MX5 snare side.

In addition to the custom finish and SCV connection, this drum has also been played on in the following notable performances by yours truly:

Own this beautiful drum that also has been a part of drum corps history!

Buyer agrees to pay shipping of $30.00 in addition to the final cost of the drum (unless a pickup)

Good luck selling. That's a great looking drum!
