Steve Ferrone Model - SF-1465
Tasteful musicality and powerful groove, the "trademarks" of Steve Ferrone's style...that's why he's the "first call" for superstars such as Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, and Anita Baker to name a few. His signature snare drum, the SF-1465 Steve Ferrone Signature Snare Drum by Pearl, is a reflection of the maestro's playing style: tasteful and elegant yet powerful on demand.
The heart of the SF-1465 is its precision-formed brass shell, plated in lustrous black nickel, with center bead for strength and enhanced high-frequency projection. Brass tube lugs complement the beauty of the shell and allow unrestricted vibration for superb resonance and tone. The "ball-ends" of the lugs are gold plated with contrasting chrome-plated tubes. Gold plated SuperHoop II and road proven SR-017 vertical-pull strainer with gold plated accents round out the SF-1465's superb componentry. The total effect is stunning, making the Steve Ferrone Signature one the most beautiful drums ever produced.
According to Steve Ferrone, "I used to bring two or three snare drums to sessions, but now I only need one, the Steve Ferrone Signature Snare Drum. It's my secret weapon. The sound is perfect and sessions happen without a hitch. The last engineer even commented that this was the best snare drum he'd ever heard.
