The heart and soul of your kit is your snare drum and the Reference Series Snare Drums shines through loud and clear.

If you are like most drummers, your ideal snare sound lives somewhere between wood and metal shell drums. You switch between the two, because they both sound great. You like the bright cutting projection and pronounced hi-end crack of a metal shell, but sometimes you just can’t live without the warmth, body and bottom that only comes from a wood shell drum. If this is starting to sound familiar, one listen to Pearls all UltraCast Snare Drum will seem like a dream come true. UltraCast offers everything you want in a snare sound, all of the time.

Nothing highlights your finesse like your snare drum. Masters Series snares are the ultimate compliment for your drumset. A perfect match sonically and visually for your Masters kit or a dynamic upgrade for any drumset. All Masters Series snare drums feature die-cast hoops, stainless steel tension rods and that unmistakable Masters Sound.

Since their introduction in 1993, Pearl's Masters Custom snare drums have earned worldwide acclaim for their deep, full-bodied sound reminiscent of classic vintage snare drums thanks to their 6 ply, 7.5mm 100% maple shells.

Imagine being able to capture that elusive sound of your drumming idol. Pearl's extensive line of signature Series Snares gives you an opportunity to own a snare developed with input from the pros. They offer snares from some of the world's greatest players.

The "Free Floating" concept of removing all hardware from the shell is an extremely effective way of increasing the amount of coloration of each shell material to maximize its contribution to the overall sound of the drum. An aircraft quality aluminum alloy bottom edge ring is machined to provide perfect seating with the shell and is precision cut to offer the most stable, sensitive, responsive snare bed imaginable. All of the drum's hardware is attached to the edge ring, including the throw-off, allowing the shell to resonate unrestricted.
