An unprecedented balance between reduced weight mobility and sonic versatility, Reference Pure Series Snare Drums are a refined complement to your total drum set sound.

Combining an ultra-thin combination of Masterworks-grade North American Maple and Birch, the 5.4mm EvenPly Six Reference Pure shell delivers a warm, resonant quality with heightened top-end pop at the strike.

Each snare features a tonally curated hardware selection that reduces overall drum weight by 30%; including our exclusive Fat-Tone 1.6mm Hoop, Swivel Tube lugs, and Glide Lock strainer system.

Ultra-Sound "D" type snare wires are used to further increase sensitivity and sizzle by focusing snare tension on the center wires.

A more nuanced, near-field playing experience awaits with a Reference Pure snare.
