The Masters You Remember, A Sound You'll Never Forget.

Your sonic brand needs to be heard. Creating your own signature snare drum is the next logical step. Masterworks has all the elements necessary to craft a totally unique instrument that will complement your drumming identity and assure that there will never be another one like it, like you.

Completely Custom. Totally Handmade.

A Masterworks Sonic-Select Snare Drum is crafted to create a truly unique tonal signature. Choose from seven distinct snare drum recipes, each one configured with sonically proven shell woods, edge profiles, and precision hardware options.

"There were a number of different yet very important goals that came into play when designing this snare drum. First off, it needed to be a drum that I would love to play, no matter the setting. Periphery is super aggressive in terms of sound, so it needed to cut through music like that but also have the dynamic sensitivity for other less heavy musical genres I like to frequent. Another focus was to create a drum that served a unique role that could hold a candle to Pearl’s already impressive line of snare drums. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, was to develop a truly desirable, premium drum that wouldn’t break the bank for drummers - we worked really hard to put together the right combination of features to build a top quality, incredible sounding snare drum that would never be out of reach financially for any drummer wanting to add it to their inventory! I’m humbled, honored, and excited that we were able to achieve these goals!"
