Reference Redline Snare Drum

The Pearl Reference Redline Snare Drum has 6 inner plies of birch with 14 outer plies of maple for a staggeringly thick 20-ply shell. The 45-degree bearing edge brings all 20 plies to the party in a highly focused sweet spot. This projects the volume that you would expect from such a thick snare drum shell without losing sensitivity or articulation.

Sound isn't the only thing that sets the Pearl Redline Snare Drum apart. The Redline Snare features white hoops and lugs on a white shell with specially designed red gaskets. The rubber gaskets isolate the snare drum shell from the hoops and lugs. They are infused with red dye, creating a striking splash of color.

The state-of-the-art in modern hardware adorns these Pearl snare drums to maximize every nuance of the shell construction. All Reference Snare Drums feature Pearl's SR-1000 Glide-Lock Strainer, which includes a locking throw-off lever and tension knob that won't loosen no matter how hard you play. Low-friction technology permits smooth gliding action for ultra quiet, super precise motion
