Snare Drums
As well as drums kits, Pearl is a renowned producer of snare drums. Lower end kits (Vision series and lower) come standard with snare drums, and higher end series have snares which must be bought separately. Individual snares, as well as artists' signature snares, are also available.

Reference - 20 ply wood snares are available in 14x5, 14x6.5 and 13x6.5 sizes. They utilise the same mixed wood technology as other Reference drums, with 6 inner plies of birch and 14 outer plies of maple, and a 45 bearing edge. Metal Reference are also available - 3mm thick seamless cast steel and 3mm thick rolled and welded brass. Both metals are available in 14x5 and 14x6.5 sizes.
Masterworks - Masterworks snares can be custom ordered with a kit, or as a separate item. They are available in a wide range of materials, sizes and finishes.
Individual snare drums:

SensiTone Elite - SensiTone snares are produced from five metals: steel, stainless steel, brass, phosphor bronze and aluminium. All are available in 14x5 and 14x 6.5 sizes.
Ultracast - Made from 3mm aluminium. Designed to produce a balance between metal and wooden shells. Available in 14x5 and 14x 6.5 sizes.
Free-Floating - Pearl's Free-Floating concept removes all hardware from the shell, thus allowing you to change the shell as easily as a head. The throw-off, lugs and other hardware are part of the special edge ring which holds the drum and heads together. Shells are available in copper, brass, steel and maple, with depths of 3.5, 5 and 6.5".
Symphonic - Made from 6 ply, 7.5mm thick maple, for concert quality snare drums. The throw-off features three separate strainers for thin cable, havy cable and snare wires, allowing a variety of sounds.
Firecracker - In 10x5 and 12x5" sizes, Firecracker snares are available in 8 ply Poplar or steel shells.
Effects - Include the 10x6" Maple Popcorn snare, as well as thin maple piccolo snares and thick effects snares. All are designed to create sounds unavailable in standard snare drum sizes.
Signature snares - Various Pearl artists have their own signature snares, which are widely available. Artists include: Dennis Chambers, Jimmy DeGrasso, Virgil Donati, Omar Hakim, Joey Jordison, Mike Mangini, Ian Paice, Vinnie Paul, Morgan Rose, Eric Singer, Chad Smith and Tico Torres.
