Pearl Reference One 6.5"x14" Snare Drum in Black Oyster Swirl

Pearl Reference One Series Snare Drum

6.5"x14"

Black Oyster Swirl

Comprised of the choicest panels of premium Birch and North American Maple from Pearl's Masterworks veneer vault, Reference One Snare Drums deliver projection, tone, and sensitivity in any musical sphere.

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 legacy and adding revolutionary enhancements in mounting and shell hardware, Pearl takes the hybrid drum concept to new, unprecedented heights. 

Ultra-thin combination of Masterworks-grade North American Maple and Birch, the 5.4mm EvenPly Six Reference One shell delivers a warm, resonant quality with heightened top-end pop at the strike.

Ultra-Sound "I" type snare wires are used to further increase sensitivity and sizzle by focusing snare tension on the center wires.
