Big, Bold, and Brassy!

Pearl's legacy of snare drum excellence continues to advance with Brass; a refined snare sounding board from our prestigious Reference One series. Delivering unparalleled projection, power, and presence, its formidable 3mm thick all brass shell broadcasts with uninhibited bell-like tonal purity. Based on the Reference hybrid drum pairing of premium shell materials with high-function hardware, the minimal contact of STL single swivel lugs adds resonance and articulation to the total sonic package. MasterCast die-cast hoops add control and volume, while the no-slip security of the SR-1000 Glide-Lock strainer and "D" Profile Ultra-Sound snare wires delivers sensitive articulation and worry-free performance for the heavy-hitting pro,

Features

Reference Brass Shell

True to the Reference Recipe, every aspect of these drums is pre-selected to draw specific sonic character from the shell. Each thick shell is shaped to its desired thickness, for explosive power, dynamic crack, and smooth sensitivity.

Glide-Lock Strainer

(US Patent #7220905, #7301087, #7365256.) Pearl’s SR-1000 Strainer includes a locking throw off lever and separate tension knob that won’t loosen no matter how hard you play. This low-friction technology permits smooth gliding action for ultra quiet, super precise motion. 

Single Swivel Lugs

Self-aligning STL-100 Swivel Lugs reduce hardware contact on the shell.

MasterCast Hoops

A strong, reliable Die-Cast hoop for increased volume, attack, and overtone control.
