Maple Poplar Blend

The shell of this 14” x 6.5” snare drum is constructed from a blend of maple/poplar/maple to deliver a rich all-purpose sound capable of meeting the most diverse musical demands.

Maple is characterised by its even amounts of high and mid frequencies combined with a warm low-end response.

Meanwhile, poplar offers softer highs and mids with a boosted warm bottom end for a smooth and even tone.

The complementary combination of the two woods works to create a luscious snare drum sound filled with deep, full warmth.

A brilliant option for recording, the robust bottom end warmth makes this snare ideal for capturing chunky depth of tone in the studio.

Impressive Imbuia

Delivering an aesthetic that’s as impressive as it’s smooth warm tone, this Pearl limited edition anniversary snare features a beautiful Imbuia outer veneer.

Featuring a natural grained aesthetic with a rich deep brown colour, the Imbuia finish of the snare drum exudes high end class.

With a sleek, gloss-like aesthetic, the Imbuia veneer finish provides a truly classic look reminiscent of expensive furniture and luscious vintage interior design.

The 14” x 6.5” snare is adorned with all black nickel hardware which works to perfectly accentuate the deep colour of the shell.

Adding a modern touch to the classic aesthetic of the shell, the use of the modern black hardware with the vintage vibe veneer serves to celebrate the Pearl Masterworks history while giving a nod to the present and future.

Inner 45s

The shell of this special limited-edition snare is finished with inner 45 degree bearing edges to provide modern projection and attacking articulation.

While the maple and poplar combine to deliver robust low-end tone, the 45-degree edges serve to inject some cutting attack to the snare sound.

Offering focused projection to help you cut through the mix, the inner 45 edges help the maple/poplar shell to sing with attack and sustain.

MasterCast Hoops

Pearl have adorned the stunning Imbuia snare with their MasterCast Hoops to add improved focus to the snare sound.

Featuring a design similar to that of a die cast hoop, the MasterCast Hoops deliver precise control for a snare sound with accurate response.

Swivel Tube Lugs

In addition to providing a super sleek aesthetic, the Swivel Tube Lugs fitted on the Pearl 20th Anniversary Snare are designed to aid tuning accuracy.

Far from standard tube lugs, the Pearl swivel lugs feature an integrated swivel nut that keeps the tension rods perfectly aligned in order to prevent binding or choking.

The result is a set of tension rods that are easy and smooth to adjust and that help you to achieve pure tone with accurate and precise tuning.

Whatever sound you require or whatever your preferred tone, the swivel tube lugs enable you to precisely pin point the exact sound you’re after.

Spin-Tight Tension Rods

Working in conjunction with the Swivel Tube Lugs, the Pearl Masters limited edition snare also comes complete with spin-tight tension rods.

Featuring an innovative design to help maintain your desired tuning settings, the spin tight tension rods are essentially a tension rod-within-a-tension rod.

Basically, what this means is, you have your standard tension rod frame, but within it there is a smaller hex headed tension rod that can be locked in place.

So, when it comes to tuning the Pearl snare you set your tuning with a normal drum key, then lock the tension rods into place with a special hex style key to secure your settings.

This allows tunings to be controlled under high-impact playing, so that no matter how hard you hit you can rely on the spin tight tension rods to keep your snare sound locked in.

Finishing Touches

Finally, the Pearl Masterworks limited edition snare is fitted with a Golden Ratio Air Vent to further enhance the classy aesthetic of the drum.

The snare also features a Pearl SR1000 Strainer to deliver smooth adjustment and sensitivity control of the 20 strand snare wires.
