A premier brass snare like no other, the Pearl Reference One snare drum supplies the projective authority and highly engineered build to drive home any backbeat with conviction. Starting life as a 3mm shell of brass alloy, the Reference One exhibits a natural metallic cut and bell-like tonality for a bright and well-attacking response. Its pure and powerful tone is met with a professional-grade hardware adornment that’ll satisfy studio vets and world-touring performers alike, highlighted by steadfast STL swivel lugs and a pair of rock-steady MasterCast die-cast hoops. An SR1000 Glide-Lock strainer equipped with push-button locking and smooth releasing makes for effortless, hassle-free snaring and tenoring in an instant. As for the snare wires themselves, the Reference One utilizes Ultra-Sound D-Type snare wires to deliver a snap with plenty of volume and incredible strand-wide sensitivity at all dynamic levels. If your sound calls for power, few leave as remarkable of an impact as this Pearl Reference One brass snare from JB Music!
