UltraCast is Pearl's exclusive precision milled, cast aluminum shell snare drum. At 3mm thick, this is one of the thickest metal drums you'll find. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal and provides the warm, round, full bodied tone of a wood shell snare. But it is after all, a metal shell, so you get all the crack, volume and projection you can handle.

Pearl UltraCast Cast Aluminum Snare Drum
UltraCast Snare Drums

Perfect compromise between wood and metal
No other snare drum can offer this perfect compromise between wood and metal. Since UltraCast is a milled cast aluminum shell, its bearing edges are precision cut and perfect every time. This provides ease of tuning and perfect head seating around the entire circumference of the drum.

Stainless Steel tension bolts
And speaking of tuning integrity, all tension bolts on the UltraCast are precision turned stainless steel. The snares used on UltraCast are Pearl's ultrasensitive S-022NU all-natural metal snares, without chrome or coatings of any kind to deaden the natural liveliness of the metal. The extra sensitivity is amazing, and the tonal response is beyond compare.

The look
The look of UltraCast is also much different. Its all black lacquer-coated shell, tube lugs, and SuperHoop II rims will quickly become an exciting focal point of your entire kit.

"awesome" by s - 1/7/2004 12:29:03 AM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: part time pro rock between creed and 3 doors down alton illinois 89 people out of 168 found this review helpful I have owned this snare for almost a year and am still impressed by it's sound. I like my snare drums to ring, and that is not a problem with the ultracast. I was using a Tama pb365 bronze snare as my main, but that went by the wayside once I got my ulracast. In short, killer snare. Was this review useful?

"Best of Both Worlds" by andyman1970 - 1/23/2005 7:36:08 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: 20+ years ABC - Anything But Country Chicago 85 people out of 164 found this review helpful If you want the most versatile snare drum on the market under $400, then this is for you. The aluminum shell allows tuning for very tight crack, or deeper wood-like tones. Beautiful lacquer finish on shell as well. Pictures don't do this one justice. Was this review useful? "Solid snare with obvious craftsmanship" by Mark L. - 8/10/2001 11:26:43 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Hobbyist Worship & Christian contemporary Daphne, AL 78 people out of 152 found this review helpful This is a nice sounding, sharp looking snare. Mine is fitted with the 42 strand snares and an ebony pinstripe head. I wanted the sound you get with a double snare mechanism w/o spending twice as much money. The thick head cuts out most of the ringing I was getting with the standard head. One improvement Pearl could make is to include an air hole because all 2 headed drums need to breathe.
