Description

Pearl are one of the largest drum brands in the world. They have maintained a solid reputation for decades, providing high-quality drums and percussion to musicians looking for incredible-sounding gear that will last. With a huge amount of renowned players using their products, you know that they mean business.

Despite their affordable price-point, the Modern Utility snare drums still pack a punch and provide you with a great tone.

Woods and Construction:

The 6-ply, 5.4mm maple shell delivers a resonant and pronounced low-end, with a punchy mid-range that will cut through a busy mix.  The 8” depth keeps it sounding focussed and responsive, so you don’t lose any snap when playing hard. You can therefore use this versatile snare for a variety of genres and scenarios.

A timeless matte natural finish means this snare won’t look out of place in any setup, with the chrome-coloured hardware giving a classy look.

SR700 Strainer:

The SR700 strainer offers you a smooth action when changing the snare wires in on or off position. The tension adjuster firmly locks into place, so that you won’t have to worry about it undoing even if you play super-hard!

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Snare Drums

Snare drums provide the sharp backbeat and articulate ghost-note response at the centre of many drum kits. Compare diameter and depth, shell material, hoops, heads, snare wires, strainer, throw-off, butt plate and tuning range. Metal, wood and hybrid shells can produce different combinations of attack, body, sensitivity and projection, while depth affects the balance between response and weight. Check whether the listing includes a case, stand or replacement parts. The best choice depends on the drummer’s tuning, touch, music and the rest of the kit.
