Pearl Masterworks Maple/Gum Snare Drum 14x5.5 Kobalt Blue Metallic w/Nickel Hw

The Pearl Masterworks Series Will Make Your Drums Come True!

If you've ever wanted a truly customized drum, look no further than the Pearl Masterworks series. We at Drum Center of Portsmouth are always blown away by these drums, so we took some time to design a few snare drums to show off just how truly amazing an instrument the folks at Pearl can bring to life. Specs on this spectacular model are as follows:

• 14x5.5 6-ply maple/gum/maple shell
• 60° bearing edges
• Standard snare beds
• Kobalt Blue Metallic gloss lacquer finish
• Nickel hardware
• 10 tube lugs
• Die cast hoops
• SR150 strainer/butt combo
• Standard matching air vent
• 42-strand I-type wires
• Remo heads

Pure class, this one. The lacquer finish uses the same blue shade as Pearl's Kobalt Blue Fade Metallic, offered on the Reference One and Masters drums, but we opted to forgo the black fade and just keep it all blue. And blue it is – the most intense and striking blue we've ever seen, for real. And the nickel hardware completes the look with a deep, rich shimmer that's a subtle but noticeable departure from good ol' chrome.

As for the sound, this drum offers a fantastic, warm tone that will shine in any situation, but especially (we think) in singer-songwriter or jazz settings. Get your hands on this wonderful instrument without the custom order wait time, and get ready for a flood of compliments!
