While most snares settle for 5” or 6.5” depths, this resulted in a unique 5.5”, 6-ply Maple shell. This specific dimension was chosen to bridge the gap, offering the lightning-fast response of a shallow snare with the low-end punch of a deep shell.Combined with die-cast hoops and a custom-engineered, vintage-inspired internal muffler system, every feature was co-designed to deliver total harmonic control in the studio and on stage. Finished in deep black with yellow stripes, and black hardware.“This snare is a deliberate departure from the ordinary to capture the extraordinary.”— Miguel Lamas*Each winner receives this snare, handed to them at the upcoming Miguel Lamas clinics in India or sent to their home.*Please go to Pearl Drums India Instagram page for more information on the clinics.THE TRACKCrank it up.

Introducing BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals

BRD-S Low Volume CymbalsPearl Drums is pleased to introduce the new BRD-S Low Volume Practice Cymbals, the latest addition to the BRD cymbal series. Designed specifically for low-noise practice, the BRD-S features precision-drilled perforations across the playing surface. This special construction significantly reduces volume while maintaining the natural stick feel, rebound, and response of a traditional acoustic cymbal. Players can enjoy realistic cymbal performance without the excessive sound levels typically associated with full-volume cymbals. Whether you're practicing in an apartment, rehearsing at home, warming up backstage before a show, or playing in venues with strict volume restrictions, the BRD-S allows you to focus on technique and musical expression while keeping sound levels under control. It also pairs well with electronic drum kits, providing a more authentic playing experience than rubber cymbal pads. The set includes a 20" Ride, 18" Crash, 16" Crash, and 14" Hi-Hats, allowing drummers to experience the full range of cymbal techniques and tonal variations. From articulate ride patterns on the bow to full-bodied crashes at the edge and expressive accents on the bell, the BRD-S delivers dynamic response and realistic performance characteristics at a fraction of the volume of conventional cymbals. To make transportation easy, the set also comes with a dedicated cymbal bag, making it ideal for drummers who regularly move between practice spaces, rehearsal rooms, lessons, and live venues. Combining practicality, portability, and excellent value for money, the BRD-S is an ideal solution for drummers looking to practice more often without compromising on feel or performance. Watch the comparison video to hear the difference in volume between the BRD-S Low Volume Cymbals and the standard BRD-1 cymbals. Also Available: BRD-1 CymbalsFor drummers seeking a full-volume acoustic cymbal at an affordable price, the BRD-1 Brass Cymbal Set remains available as part of the BRD series. Crafted from brass and designed with a focus on musical sound and everyday usability, the BRD-1 offers excellent value for beginners, students, rehearsal studios, and drummers looking for a reliable practice or backup cymbal set. Its balanced tone and accessible price make it an ideal entry-level option without sacrificing essential performance characteristics. Whether you're building your first drum kit or looking for a cost-effective cymbal solution, the BRD-1 delivers dependable performance and great value.

Pearl's Promise

At Pearl, sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. We are taking meaningful steps to rethink traditional manufacturing by giving new purpose to reclaimed wood and embracing emerging technologies like eco-friendly 3D printing in drum set development. https://pearldrum.com/sustainability By combining 80 years of trusted craftsmanship with modern engineering and sustainable practices, Pearl is shaping a future where responsible manufacturing and world-class instruments coexist. Project ReGen:Developed in partnership with Inoue Kikaku Co., Ltd., our eco-friendly 3D-printed drums (Project ReGen) feature innovative shells made from recycled materials using advanced additive manufacturing. By streamlining the production process, we reduce environmental impact without compromise. Pearl’s pioneering shell technology proves that sustainability and innovation can move forward together—delivering unprecedented tonal expression and playability.’ Pearl Chopsticks:Pearl Chopsticks give new life to drumsticks - helping protect our precious wood resources. Discontinued models, sticks with minor printing irregularities, and others that couldn't be sold despite having no quality issues. They're transformed into beautiful chopsticks by the skilled artisans at Hyozaemon, a time-honored chopstick maker in Japan. *****Pearl believes that music should be accessible to everyone. As an instrument maker, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities - ensuring that the joy of making music is available to all. TRAP:The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) is a nonprofit organization focused on developing life skills through percussion. Its inclusive programs serve participants of all ages, including individuals with physical and developmental disabilities, through multisensory musical engagement. Pearl has proudly supported TRAP for many years. The Hammer:After losing his right leg in a tour bus accident, Pearl artist Andrew Tkaczyk of the band The Ghost Inside was determined to return to the stage. Inspired by an idea from his father, Pearl developed a new bass drum pedal - dubbed "The Hammer" - designed to be played without a prosthetic leg for a more comfortable and nimble playing experience. It reflects our belief that the desire to play music has no limits. Pearl & Permobil x Jeff Elwood:Jeff Elwood is an aspiring professional drummer from Canada whose path has included significant challenges around accessibility. After a life-changing motocross accident in his youth, Jeff continued pursuing his passion for drumming as a paraplegic—performing in a wheelchair with multiple bands and creating content for his Wheelchair Drummer YouTube channel. Pearl partnered with Permobil, an innovative leader in wheelchair and mobility solutions, to develop a custom chair - along with a new matching drum rack setup. The result enhances Jeff’s comfort and accessibility while preserving the technique, control, and musical ability he’s worked so hard to build. *****Pearl is deeply committed to music education at every level, recognizing its essential role in shaping the next generation of musicians, educators, and innovators. Through our Educational Advisory Board (EAB), we collaborate with respected educators to help guide product development, curriculum support, and meaningful industry dialogue. Our internship program provides students with hands-on experience and real-world insight into instrument design, manufacturing, and the music industry, while our ongoing engagements with students and teachers - from elementary programs to higher education - strengthen learning communities nationwide. Together, these efforts reflect Pearl’s long-standing dedication to nurturing musical growth, supporting educators, and ensuring that percussion education remains accessible, relevant, and inspiring.
