Pearl Reference Cast Steel Snare Drums are made to cut through walls of high volume instrumentation to deliver bright, searing snare tones.
This head-turning sound starts with a seamless 8mm cast steel cylinder that is precision milled to a final 5mm thickness, where the shell's main 2.5mm shell body is milled. This results in solid sonic cut, high snare sensitivity and reduced buzz overtone.
The total weight of the drum is increased with the addition of the Reference dual swivel bridge lug, bringing added volume and tuning control.
Pearl Mastercast hoops add control and power, and the combination of the no-slip Glide-Lock strainer and "D" Profile Ultra-Sound snare wires add articulation, making it a must for aggressive musical styllings, pronounced recording and high-volume live performance.
