Pearl's Masters Maple snare drum has set a standard for the very best in performance-centered instruments for the pro drummer. In celebration of three decades of Masters quality and excellence, Pearl reimagines the original history-making 7.5 mm Masters Maple shell with a host of massive upgrades. Blending six layers of hand-curated North American maple from the Masterworks Veneer Vault, its premium ply selection increases the overall Janka hardness for increased projection, improved sustain and higher sonic output than ever before. Professional Pearl standards like Mastercast die-cast hoops, CL bridge lugs and SR017 snare strainer assure optimum performance in any environment.
