Fusing reliability and flexibility for today’s demanding gigging environment, Pearl has developed Modern Utility: a line of no-nonsense, well-appointed snare drums priced with the active working player in mind.
Vital instruments tailored to make the gig great, Modern Utility’s five snare models each feature a 6-ply/5.4mm all Maple SST shell. Well-appointed with our CL Bridge Lug and smooth SR700 strainer, each Modern Utility snare is priced to allow the active working player an expanded voice, is flexible enough to add to any set-up, and strong enough to stand up to constant play.
Delivering highly sensitive snap with the right gig-ready touches, Pearl Sensitone Steel snares recall the chart-topping tones of yesterday with modern function and form. Featuring a classic beaded Chrome Steel shell and 2.3mm Superhoop II, these are truly a working standard for the power player.
The 14x6.5 delivers a belting crack with mild midrange overtone and the 14x5 a crisp, sensitive high-pitched snap.
Pearl Reference Pure Series Snare Drums
Featuring the best preselected custom options from Pearl's Masterworks realm, Reference Series drums are hand-crafted for the ultimate in optimum near-field articulation and resonance.
Reference Pure snare drums feature a thin 6-ply blended Maple (4) Birch (2) Shell with a 45-degree bearing edge, delivering superb sensitivity and pinpoint articulation.
Delivers exceptional snare tone with pristine sensitivity, articulation, and midrange power.
President Series Deluxe snares are made true to the standard that made the original "M.I.J." snare drums so desirable.
The same shell material, lug combination, and bearing edge have been put into play to give you a sound that is grounded and sharp, but full of low-range overtone when played without dampening. Tempered using the internal shell muffler, the short, pillowy sound of every great AM Radio classic floods your senses.
Size: 14"x5.5"
Producing sharp sonic focus and full-bodied volume for the heavy drummer, StaveCraft snares are a startling addition to any pro player's soundscape. Each 25mm thick shell starts from two layers of meticulously beveled solid Makha wood staves. Using a principal exclusive to these snare drums, an added stave of exotic Thai Oak is inserted into the center Dado channel formed by each stave. This "Dado-Loc" joint increases total shell strength by 50%.
The shell is then lathed to a perfectly round 25mm thickness, hand lacquered, and fitted with our Swivel Tube Lugs and MasterCast die-cast counter hoops for added volume and tuning precision.
Yielding solid shell tonal snare spike from a powerful mix of hardwoods, Pearl's StaveCraft snare drums are the perfect fusion of old-world workmanship and new-school performance.
