Pearl

Fusing reliability and flexibility for today’s demanding gigging environment, Pearl has developed Modern Utility: a line of no-nonsense, well-appointed snare drums priced with the active working player in mind.

Vital instruments tailored to make the gig great, Modern Utility’s five snare models each feature a 6-ply/5.4mm all Maple SST shell. Well-appointed with our CL Bridge Lug and smooth SR700 strainer, each Modern Utility snare is priced to allow the active working player an expanded voice, is flexible enough to add to any set-up, and strong enough to stand up to constant play.

Pearl’s 150 Series Flat-Based Hardware increases function at a fraction of the weight. Taking on the flush-based platform of classic drum hardware, 150 Series Straight Cymbal (C150S) Cymbal Boom (BC150S) and Snare (S150S) stands are built to stand up to rigorous gigging and play at less than five pounds each. Each stand also changes quickly from flat-based to traditional single-braced legs by simply flipping the convertible tripod base.

Pearl mainstays like Uni-Lock gearless cymbal and basket tilters make finding the correct angle a breeze, while the optional lightweight rolling Hardware Case (PMTBG) make for easy pack up and transit. All this, plus accessible pricing make 150 Series Stands essential for the gigging player.

Decade’s 6-ply/5.4mm all Maple shell is what sets it apart from the other players in the field. The final product of ten years of process and material refinement, each cross-laminated ply incorporates Pearl’s proprietary Superior Shell Technology. The resulting thin (but powerfully strong) shell reacts quickly to the stroke, producing beautifully resonant highs and thundering lows.

To be truly great, one must evolve over time. Drumming legend Dennis Chambers took this to heart when considering the transformation of his snare drum sound. Dennis designed his new Signature Snare for sonic evolution. Using the multi-lug design of his previous model, it employs 10 tuning points on the batter head and eight on the bottom for top-end tonal focus. Returning to the 4-ply Maple w/4-ply Re-Ring shell of his original Signature model, (this time in a Matte Black lacquer finish for visual versatility,) it features a solid, searing and articulate sound that fits well in any playing field. The real difference comes with its SR-300 Philharmonic Strainer that features three individually tunable 6-strand snappy wire snares. Each can be engaged or disengaged to further sculpt the sound of the drum. Pearl's reliably durable Mastercast Die-Cast Hoops also add weight for increased projection. 

The Pearl ADP-30 three-hole adapter features 3 hinged quick release jaws each capable of adjusting from 3/8" to 11/4" for versatile and super quick attachment/removal of holders from virtually any brand.
