Reference Series Adds “Heavy Metal” Choices
Last NAMM, Pearl’s 20 ply Reference Series snare drums raised the bar for wood snare drums with their incredible projection and cut with amazing warmth and body. Now Pearl is proud to introduce two new metal Reference Series snare drums that are destined to redefine the reference standard for metal snare drums as well.
The RFS-1450 14”x5” and RFS-1465 14”x6.5” feature 3mm seamless cast steel shells for unbelievable projection, crispness, and sensitivity.
The RFB-1450 14”x5” and RFB-1465 14”x6.5” feature 3mm rolled and welded brass shells with all the characteristics of the cast steel but with a warmer tone.
Both feature Reference pivoting lugs for perfect tension rod alignment, MasterCast die cast hoops, SR-1000 Glide Lock strainer with locking lever that prevents the throwoff from disengaging no matter how hard you play, and UltraSound SN-1420D Graduated Tension Snares for extended dynamic range and sensitivity.
[shadow=red]Pearl’ s Gyro Tune Drum Key[/shadow]Nashville-Our KGT-10 “Gyro Tune” drum key (PAT PENDING) is ergonomically designed for comfortable and balanced feel combined with convenience features such as weighted ends for gyro-like spinning action, quick-spin knurled knob, quick release neck strap, and multi-function rubber plugs.
The rubber plugs can be removed and replaced with different colors to personalize the look of your Gyro Tune key. Using plugs of contrasting colors makes it easy to keep track of how many times a tension rod was turned. The rubber plugs produce a clearly defined note when tapped against the head to aid tuning.
Dangerous Drummers Play Dangerous Drums
From its snakeskin finish and spike tube lugs, the new Vinnie Paul Signature snare drum wreaks of “attitude” that matches the outrageous playing style and stage persona of the drummer who made attitude a household name, Vinnie Paul. It’s the only snare drum that comes with a warning label!
[highlight=red]Its 14” x 8” 6ply 100% maple shell is the deepest snare drum in Pearl’s line and provides “amp-killing” unrelenting power and projection. Other features include tour-tested Superhoop II’s, stainless steel tension rods, and SN-1420I UltraSound snares.[/highlight]

Pearl’s Folkloric Congas and Bongos
This new line of congas feature a traditional look with modern innovation that only Pearl can deliver. Each 28” tall Oak conga is designed for the “seated” player, but is pre-drilled for stand mounts if necessary. Thicker South American style natural skins makes the drums warm sounding, but a fiberglass gel coat on the interior seals the shell and adds the projection and volume desired by today’s players. Four Polished Steel Reinforcing Bands are inset on the shell for a smooth touch, and the traditional hoops complete these stunning instruments in a Matte Crimson Sunrise finish. The 7 & 8 1/” Oak Bongos have the same hardware and shell features of the congas. The thicker bongo skins add to the projection and “dry” tone reminiscent of that classic Cuban sound.
As a complement to the Folkloric Congas and Shekeres, Pearl is proud to now offer percussion accessories to complete the traditional Afro-Cuban line-up, but with added innovation Pearl is known for. The Cata’ is a bamboo instrument played with sticks, and comes with a mount that can be housed on any 3/8” rod. We have two new Claves: A bamboo pair for a dry “airy” tone that is lower in pitch than our “Chin–Chan” hardwood claves. The Achere is a perfectly weighted single shaker with a handle used for time-keeping, while the Guataca, based off a gardening hoe, has scalloped edges for scraping with the included metal striker. The Guataca features a built-in mounting bracket that fits standard 3/8” posts for great metallic effects that will complement any percussion set or drum kit.
