Extremely rare! Pearl ZENITHAL RESONATOR JAPAN VINTAGE Z series Zenithal Resonator Birdseye Maple Snare Drum. This listing is for the drum body only! Condition: Scratches and minor imperfections are visible on metal parts such as hoops and lugs. The shell is generally in beautiful condition. Considering its age, it's in remarkably good condition. Please check the images for the condition! Manufactured in the late 1970s, during the era when Japanese-made Pearl drums were highly regarded. This is a snare drum from the ZENITHAL RESONATOR period. Pearl drums from this era went beyond being just a domestic brand, establishing quality and sound that could compete directly with overseas vintage drums, and this drum is a symbol of that. The sound produced by the multi-ply maple shell has a fast attack and a thick core, while the overtones are not overly harsh, giving a very refined impression. It's easy to handle in modern recording environments, and it faithfully reflects the player's touch, making it suitable for rock and pop music. It's not the type to stand out with flashiness, but its appeal lies in its "battle-ready" sound that asserts its presence within a band ensemble. Details unique to the time, such as the ZENITHAL RESONATOR inscription, the cursive Pearl logo, and the MADE IN JAPAN metal plate, are not reproduced today and are not to be missed. Among the domestic 70s drums that have been gaining renewed appreciation in recent years, the number in circulation is not large, and it is a highly recommended drum for those looking for a model that combines practicality and vintage appeal.
