THE CLASSIC, ESSENTIAL STUDIO SNARE SOUND... REFINED.

The natural warmth of Maple is enhanced by Gum wood’s dense, controlling character for a dynamic snare sound like no other.

Pearl’s fresh take on the legendary Maple/Gum shell recipe reaches new levels in dynamic punch and sensitive response with the sonic warmth and explosive low end response.

Crafted originally as the Masterworks Sonic-Select Studio Recipe, this EvenPly Six combination of premium North American Maple and figured sweet Gum wood creates a thin but very dense shell. Combined with the shallow 60 degree bearing edge and heavier Die-Cast hardware load, Masters Maple/Gum snare drums deliver a punchy, immediate tone that is perfect for recording.
