2024 High-End Snare Release

We're excited to introduce three new additions to our snare drum collection, each offering unique features and sounds that cater to the diverse needs of drummers. From the hybrid UltraCast, to the Ashwood StaveCraft, and the brass-heavy Reference One MasterCast Brass, these snares are designed to cut through the mix, no matter your style or preference. Introducing the new Reference One Brass snare, now with STL100 lugs and therefore matches the style and shell recipe of the Reference One Series.  This drum is fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops and a 3mm brass shell, which helps control the sound and adds volume.  Features the SR-1000 Glide-Lock strainer and 'D' Profile Ultra-Sound snare wires for a sensitive and fine-tunable snare response.  Re-introducing the UltraCast. Made from 3mm thick reinforced cast aluminum, the UltraCast has a clear, warm, powerful, and responsive sound.  It features Pearl's sleek Tube Lugs and the black-plated SR-1000 strainer for a stealthy look and enhanced sound control.  The drum is topped with 2.3mm SuperHoops II and a high-quality Remo Ambassador Coated Drumhead.  The hand-made StaveCraft Ashwood will expand the existing StaveCraft lineup. It is available in two sizes: 14" x 5.0" and 14" x 6.5", each producing a rich and powerful sound. Stave shells consist of vertically oriented blocks that are glued and rounded to create a cylinder, instead of plies of wood that are steam-bent. The shell is 25mm thick and comes with Swivel Tube Lugs and MasterCast Die-Cast hoops, which help increase volume.  Pearl Drums continues to redefine the standards of drumming excellence with these latest additions to our snare drum lineup. The UltraCast, StaveCraft Ashwood, and Reference One MasterCast Brass each bring their unique character and performance, ensuring that every drummer finds the perfect sound to express their musical vision.

PEARL PUTS SOUND AT THE FOREFRONT WITH NEW MASTERS MAPLE/GUM SERIES DRUMS

 Available in a pre-selected offering of hand-lacquered and wrapped finishes, each will feature a vault-cured EvenPly-Six layered premium North American Maple and Gum wood shell with 60-degree edges, Mastercast Die-Cast hoops, and Pearl’s CL bridge lugs. Introduced in 2017, Pearl’s Sonic Select Shell Recipes gave a performance-formula focus to the boutique-level Masterworks series. Though each sonically-tested option represents the very best in form and function, the Studio Recipe won the favor of many Pearl Artists due to its explosive midrange warmth and extended low-end power. Starting in 2019, the Studio Recipe will be available for a limited time as Masters Maple/Gum series drums. Available in a pre-selected offering of hand-lacquered and wrapped finishes, each will feature a vault-cured EvenPly-Six layered premium North American Maple and Gum wood shell with 60-degree edges, Mastercast Die-Cast hoops, and Pearl’s CL bridge lugs. “Make no mistake about it, Masters Maple/Gum is a Masterworks drum set,” states Pearl R&D Director Raymond Massey. “The only thing missing is the level of finish and hardware customization that comes with the Masterworks program. We’ve spent the last year sound-testing these drums to assure that the right combination of shell woods, hoops, and lugs was in the mix for an elite playing experience; and we couldn’t be prouder of the results!” Available in Hand-Rubbed Satin Natural Maple (#189) Black Diamond Pearl (#421,) Matte White Marine (#422,) and Platinum Gold Oyster (#453,) Masters Maple Gum will be offered in two shell packs with a limited selection of component add-on drums. • Masters Maple/Gum 22”x16”/10”x07”/12”x08”/16”x16” Shell Pack (MMG924XSP/C) Suggested Selling Price: 2999,- EURO • Masters Maple/Gum 22”x16”/12”x08”/16”x16” Shell Pack (MMG924XSP/C) Suggested Selling Price: 2599,- EURO
