Pearl Stavecraft 14x6.5 Makha Snare Drum with DadoLoc, Natural

Pure Exotic Density. Explosive Power.

For the drummer who demands a punishing crack mixed with boutique artistry, Pearl introduces the Stavecraft Makha Snare Drum. Moving away from traditional thin plies, this 14x6.5" powerhouse is built entirely from ultra-dense, thick-cut segments of exotic Makha wood. Arranged in a vertical stave pattern, the natural hardness of Makha provides an incredibly sharp sonic focus, blistering volume, and a dry, focused fundamental tone that cuts right through wall-of-sound guitar mixes.

The Masterpiece of Strength: Thai Oak DadoLoc

To tame and channel the immense energy of a 25mm thick shell, Pearl uses its exclusive, interlocking DadoLoc joint system. Each dual-layer Makha stave is precision-channeled and joined together using an internal tongue-and-groove stave of premium Thai Oak. Like pieces of an intricate acoustic puzzle, this fusion increases total shell structural integrity by 50%. The shell is then lathed to a perfectly round cylinder, allowing the drum to act as one solid, unyielding piece of tonewood with zero lost energy.

Striking Aesthetics & Stage-Ready Hardware

The Stavecraft Makha is dressed in a Hand-Rubbed Natural finish, letting the rich, dense grain and deep organic hues of the tropical hardwood command attention under stage lights. To match its heavy-duty construction, Pearl has outfitted this snare with premium MasterCast die-cast hoops for devastating rimshots and razor-sharp tuning stability. Coupled with STL Swivel Tube Lugs and the incredibly reliable Click-Lock strainer, this drum ensures your snare tension stays locked in, no matter how hard you lay into it.
