From the lightest touch to the thickest rolls, Philharmonic 8-ply 100% Maple shell snare drums deliver the power to be heard, with a dark, full tonal response that has become the preferred sound of orchestras and artists around the world. Maple is the ideal choice for a concert snare drum due to its range of frequency response and warmth in sound quality. Our exclusively manufactured 7.2mm 8-ply 100% Maple wood shells have a smooth even texture that remains durable under a wide range of conditions and accepts a variety of rich lustrous finishes. This highly respected acoustic wood offers a wide dynamic range and a well-balanced overtone response. Full-bodied low frequencies, with an even balance of high and mid-tones, have made this shell the all-around accepted premium material in the acoustic drum industry.

PHB Philharmonic Brass offers the highest frequency response in the Philharmonic Series with bright cutting clarity and finesse. 1.5mm thick brass Philharmonic shells have a bright, highly focused, well-balanced bright ringing tone that soars without being choked or forced, perfect for situations needing more volume and projection. Beaded brass shells on 5” and 6.5" depth drums add a touch of style and strength while the 4” piccolo depth is a straight brass shell to accommodate the shorter tube lug standoffs.

SYP Symphonic Series drums are the ultimate expression of excellence in concert quality snare drum design. SYP drums combine state of the art precision and versatility of the finest snare system on the market today. Our Multi-Timbre Snare Strainer System features three separate adjustable throw-offs in one unit, controlling light cable, heavy cable and wire snares, in any combination, providing unbelievable control and endless sound options.

Pearl's Philharmonic Series Concert Bass Drums offer a warmer and darker sound than maple and birch. The naturally warm frequency response of the 6-ply African Mahogany shells makes PBA Bass Drums the ultimate concert performance instruments. The 6-ply African Mahogany shells provide a natural resonance unlike any other shell material. These highly responsive shells have a naturally low, rich frequency response that is ideal for use in professional concert settings. Fully rounded bearing edges reinforce the low-frequency response of the heads and will hold up to many years of high-end performance and professional quality sound. Tuning is fast and easy with Pearl’s exclusive Silent Tension Lug System. Each oversized t-handle lug and claw is insulated at every contact point with itself and the shell to assure minimal rattle from the drum. 8mm thick tuning rods have coarse threads enabling quick adjustments for temperature and humidity in the hall. Philharmonic Series Bass Drums come with Remo Nuskyn Heads and feature a beautiful, hand-stained Matte Walnut Lacquer finish.
