Pearl Reference Pure Snare RFP1450S, 14"x5", Scarlet Sparkle Burst

The Pearl Reference Pure Snare Drum SS is a 14" x 5" snare drum, featuring chrome shell hardware, with a Remo drumhead, a maple and birch shell, and a scarlet sparkle finish. 2 inner plies of Birch are united with 4 outer thin plies of Maple to create an incredibly resonant shell. The 45 degree bearing edge brings all 6 thin plies to the party in a highly focused sweet spot. The 45 degree bearing edge on the Reference snare shells brings all 6 thin plies into play by promoting a tightly focused shell contact area for extreme sensitivity and maximum volume. The 2 inner plies of Birch provide a resilient crack, which is balanced and warmed by the 4 outer thin plies of Maple.

Pearl’s revolutionary BRL-65/55 lugs assure the ultimate in head seating and tuning integrity. The unique swivel function allows the tension rods to align perfectly into the lugs. This ensures that there is no pressure against the hoops, allowing for maximum resonance and sustain. Stainless Steel Tension Rods instill a level of confidence with their consistent and precisely milled exterior. All Reference Snare Drums feature Pearl’s SR-1000 Glide-Lock Strainer, which includes a locking throw off lever and tension knob that won’t loosen no matter how hard you play. Low-friction technology permits smooth gliding action for ultra quiet, super precise motion.
