Pearl Reference One Snare Drum 14×6.5 Matte Olive Burst

Introducing Reference One: The Pearl Sound Reimagined, Redefined, and Refined

By leveraging specific woods, shell thicknesses, and bearing edges exactly where they are most sonically beneficial within a drum set, Pearl’s Reference Series originated the modern hybrid drum concept. Building upon this recipe and adding revolutionary enhancements in mounting and shell hardware, Pearl takes the hybrid drum concept to new, unprecedented heights. Every element of each drum in the Reference One drum set’s construction is fine-tuned to deliver optimal performance, from the wood type and thickness of each shell to the bearing edge. Delivering the best elements from Pearl’s historic Reference and Reference Pure Series drums, its reduced-thickness EvenPly shell is fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops, for a radical combination sustain and attack. This Reference One snare drum also features Pearl’s revolutionary SR1000 Glide Lock snare strainer and Ultra-Sound Snare Wires with “D”-Type profile for increased sensitivity.
