I am over the moon that I had the opportunity to be able to snag this “bucket list” snare drum. This has been a drum that I have had my eye on for a long time. The unique size of 12” x 7” is something that really caught my attention. Additionally, the High Gloss Liquid Amber Finish is absolutely stunning!!
Here is what Pearl Drums had to say about this classic looking 12” x 7” firecracker of a snare:
“Nicknamed "The Soprano Snare", the M1270 is truly music to your ears. Its 12"x7" 100% maple shell produces the piccolo "pop" sound preferred for accents and extra voice effects, with an extra added measure of depth and warmth.
Available in high gloss #114 Liquid Amber Finish, its precision-fit Stainless Steel tension rods and solid brass receivers deliver incredibly smooth and precise tuning, while the dependable Masters bridge lugs and triple-flanged steel rims permit high-tension capability and extended playing resilience.”
There are not many things to hate about this snare drum and I’m excited to dig more into it and see how versatile this thing really is. Stay tuned, more videos are on the way!
