Pearl Reference One 14" x 5" Snare Drum Overview:

The foundation of the Modern Hybrid Drum Concept offers a smooth balance between pronounced cut and refined tonal punch; Reference One Snare Drums' combination of premium shell and re-established hardware materials create a distinct sonic projection.

With a combination of Masterworks-grade North American Maple and Birch, the 5.4mm EvenPly-Six Reference One shell delivers a warm, resonant quality with heightened top-end pop at the strike. MasterCast Hoops boost added attack and articulation. Ultra-Sound "I" type snare wires are used to further increase sensitivity and sizzle by focusing snare tension on the center wires.

Features:

6-ply, 5.4mm Maple/Birch Shell
