Since 2003, the CRP Concert Series Ply-Maple drums have been the economical choice of schools for having professional-level features and tone at a fraction of the cost. Now, that same value-added choice has a new brighter tonal option with the addition of the CRS beaded steel shell drums. Steel is one of the brightest sounding and clear-cutting materials for snare drums, and is the ideal choice for any ensemble or aspiring percussionist. All of the professional-grade features of the CRP drums are included on the new CRS Steel drums, plus the upgraded SR-400 Silent Strainer with angle mounted combination coated and wound cable snares, simulating the graduated tension response of the Philharmonic Series, for an even better concert experience. At the core of the CRP concert Series design is an innovative mix of cable snares, specifically designed to sonically excel during the softest musical passage and all the way through a high volume crescendo. 7 strands each Coated Snare Cable and Stainless Steel Snare Cable are uniquely angle mounted together on a single block to fit the new SR-400 Silent Snare Strainer to emulate graduated tension and maintain a constant, full-bodied orchestral snare sonority.

The S1030L Pearl Concert Snare Drum Stand is a height extended version of the S1030 stand and features double-braced legs for added durability. Advancements such as Air Suspension Rubber Tips, Butterfly Nut basket adjustment, Trident Tripod base, and fully expandable basket not only put the drum where you want it, but help improve its sound as well. An absolute necessity for the professional symphonic drummer.

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.

The Philharmonic PHM snare drum is painstakingly hand-formed from a single ply of fully aged prime Maple to achieve the pinnacle of concert snare drum attack, response, dynamics and tonal color in one instrument.

The S1030LS Pearl Snare Drum Stand is a height extended version of the S1030 stand and features single braced legs for a more lightweight option.
