If the job is practicing at home then this snare drum does the job. Other than that I would not recommend this snare. Pearl has developed a reputation of excellence and probably the leader of the drum world along with Tama and a few others. You can easily recognize the name and instantly know that they dominated the drum world. They are kind of ...

The Pearl Jimmy Degrasso Snare drum is a custom drum, made to the specs of drummer Jimmy Degrasso. Jimmy is a hard rock drummer who has toured and recorded with all sorts of well known artists, including Alice Cooper and Megadeth. I don’t believe that they’re making the drum any longer, and don’t know how many were even made. The drum has a 1...
I've been using the Pearl Session Studio snare drum for about two years for recording in my home studio. I am not a drummer, but I have used this drum for recording many times as it is a favorite of one of the drummers that I record with frequently. The Pearl Session Studio is on the larger side of snare drums and for this reason it has a pretty...
I've been using the Pearl Piccolo 14 x 4 Maple snare drum for about three years and it has become one of my favorite snare drums to use for recording. It is a pretty small snare drum in terms of height and width, which is what gives it such a great snap sound. While I am not a drummer, I have used this snare drum countless times for recording an...
(Originally written by safti/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using it since yesterday. A friend lend it to me. This snare is amazing for rock because it has an incredible cracking sound. It's too powerful for jazz and other smooth music styles. I prefer MMX snares but it's not the same price so it's not fa...
(Originally written by Benou1977/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've owned it for about two months. I bought it secondhand with an Evans Genera 2 top head and a Remo Ambassador bottom head. I find the sound of this snare a bit high pitched (I tighten it a lot) and with a strong attack but I wish it would be fulle...
Pearl equals quality, and for the past 12 months I have been reminded of this everyday. You'll find yourself saying, "now this is a snare drum!", especially if you are used to a lesser quality product. Adjusting the head and getting the right "cracking" sound as you bash into a super long show stopping solo, or just laying do...
I played on the Pearl Firecracker snare drum for a while before I sold it; probably about 2 years. Like all products there are great aspects, and downsides. I’m going to share all of these down to the detail. I’ll start out with the good things about this drum. When I bought this, the first thing I noticed was its looks. Not to sound like ...
I have a CC Yamaha exotic wood, a Pearl Sensitone, the DW aluminum "Dave Grohl" ... and now this signature Marvin "Smitty" Smith. Each box to its dynamics, its roundness, its depth ... but this one is special. It is a copper box of 14 "x 4" bolts 8. The copper goes very well with gold plated circles! She is really beautiful and un...
