The 10-inch diameter offers a small and manageable size, suitable for beginners as well as intermediate percussionists. This size promotes quick response and precision work.
How is the Pearl PBJVR10-698 Rope Tuned Zebra Glass 10 tuned?

Thanks to Pearl's patented seamless synthetic shell, the response remains stable and the projection is even. Bass, tone, and slap sounds can thus be precisely distinguished once the technique is established.
