The throw-off lever locks in place and can only be released by holding down a small button on top of it, making it near-impossible to accidentally dislodge. The snare tensioning and throw-off mechanisms are also impressive. Beneath the pivoting arms, the body of each lug is bridge-style (for minimal shell contact), which can only be for the better. Pearl's unique pivoting lugs, which align perfectly with each tension rod, are as aesthetically pleasing as they are technically marvellous. That said, they're also bejewelled with fabulous details. The sheer density of the shells, combined with hardware that errs on the side of heavy-duty, adds up to seriously heavy drums.
Firstly, there is the thickness of the shells - the steel models are cast at 2.5mm thick and the brass numbers come in at an incredible 3mm.
